I am a bit biased here, I have two kids, so any place that keeps them happy for longer then 20 minutes is going to get a great review from me. :) But, this really is a five star children's museum. I have been to many and this one takes the cake. It is unassuming from the outside but there is so much to do at the museum. Here are the highlights for my kids, things we have not seen at any other children's museum:
- The life size gerbil wheel that the kids can spin with their own legs.
-The climbing balls that are two stories high - they kind of give me anxiety to see my 6 year old that high off the ground, but she LOVES them.
-The flash room. A room where every 10 seconds a light flashes and your shadow is captured on the wall for a brief period of time. I have to admit this is one of my favorite rooms as well.
-The art room. My daughter could spend an hour plus in there alone. This past Saturday they had beautiful fresh flowers for the kids to create with. Wonderful!
-The garden and "farm" area on the roof. Be careful, you could miss this one since it is on the roof, but you don't want to, it's one of our favorite places. The activities are always changing up there depending on the season.
The price is reasonable, less expense then most bouncy house places, and with so much more to offer. On the first floor there is a baby area that is soft and fenced in...great for younger children like my 10 month old. He is able to explore age appropriate objects while only falling on soft surfaces. Love it!
I am a fan!
