We lived in Chicago where we had a handful of children's museums to choose from and this one is by far my favorite. There are so many hands on activities for pre school aged kids and toddlers. If you are looking for somewhere to entertain your children for a good couple of hours and a great place for them to let their imaginations run wild, this is the place for you. The part I liked the most was that they didn't need a ton of assistance to enjoy it all. Only negative which I don't hold against the establishment is it is all the way out in Huntersville and traffic near the interstate was atrocious. (Discovery place in uptown Charlotte is directed more towards older children)
