| - The kids and I really enjoyed the museum. Lots of fun, hands-on exhibits and the staff was great. Their favorite areas were the medieval castle/pirate ship, the water-play area, and the small town where the kids could learn about working/earning/money, etc. We were there on a Wednesday afternoon and it was not busy.
My only major complaint is that the museum has a large climbing play structure built though the center of the building. It's a series of tunnels, stairs, walkways, exhibits, etc. Very cool, but quite the challenge. You can't bring a stroller through and there are exits on each floor so it's impossible to just let the younger kids run though on their own and explore. I lost my 5 year old almost immediately and had to have a staff member help me find him. We ended up just skipping that area for the rest of the visit, but the kids were unhappy that I wouldn't let them explore because we passed it every time we moved from one area to another. It would be a great exhibit if it were enclosed so the kids couldn't get out and lost. If possible, go with 2 adults so someone can crawl through with the kids.
