The National Children's Museum is a delightful institution dedicated to teaching children about the world around them and their responsibilities therein. Designed for children eight and under, the museum teaches little ones about their civic duties, global geography, as well as general arts and entertainment points of interest. An interactive theater further engages kids, as well as fun Sesame Street characters decorating the walls. Age-conscious displays for children three and under as well as for older children adapt to their interests and learning needs in order to create a lasting impact on their perception of the world at large.

We decided to take our kids the morning of July 4th. It was too hot to go do much outdoors and thought this would be a fun little break for the kids (boys ages 5 and 8). They had an absolute blast. Their expressions were like kids at Christmas as they would go from one exhibit to another. They enjoyed the bubble area, the climbing center with slide, SpongeBob and friends, the green screen, jumping measurements, etc. They didn't want to leave. It kept them entertained and they were never board. I would definitely recommend for anyone looking to take their kids somewhere to learn and get their energy out.
MoreKids had a lot of fun here and this children’s museum had a lot more things my kids could interact with than the one in our town. Small, but nice! A few things didn’t work and I’d wish they’d update it a little but, but overall it was nice!
MoreWow! These people know what kids like! A perfect mix of contemplative discovery and physical activity. So many children’s museums are overly instructive at the expense of just plain fun. Skip the Smithsonians and bring your kids here
MoreLots of things to do. A few floors. Pretty safe for kids running around. Definitely a bit chaotic but it’s a kids playground. The staff are super nice especially the ones who worked at the ticket place
MoreGood for 8, 10 yo boys. Wooden toys perfect for co-play. Tried almost everything, everyone found something exciting, even the 13yo boys and parents
