Myself, my parents and my 3 children (ages 3-6) came down for a quick weekend getaway. We absolutely loved visiting!! My middle oldest was VERY interested in the live owl they had on display this day. Overall, a fun experience was had by all! My favorite was the pond. I do have one little suggestion which is to put a sign by the pond telling people that the rocks are slippery. If there is one and I didn’t see it, then disregard this. Lol.In true Chelsea fashion, I don’t like leaving off reviews on a bad note, so I highly recommend bringing the youngins here next time you’re in Topeka!

Our granddaughter loves this place so many different things for the kids to do if the weather is nice go outside and check out the musical instruments made out of metal drums and wood !

This was a very interesting and exciting place for kids to explore. There are tricycles of various sizes, paved pathways to explore, indoor and outdoor activities to participate in, and a host of exciting things for children from 2 - 10 at least to enjoy. Outdoors: In addition to playing (their version of) chess, my G-Kids built (and rebuilt) a foam linking-log cabin; they explored a pirate ship, a merry-go-round/climbing platform; they did their own version of a tricycle safari, and simply explored.Indoors: I lost count of the number of hands on activities they played in!We were there for hours and they never got tired of building, riding, exploring, climbing, playing and finding new things. We only left because we still had some traveling to do - and this was one of the highlights of their visit.

Drove in from Kansas City as a trip out of town. I have 4 kids from 2-9. All the kids had fun and enjoyed the time we spent and we spent around 4 hours there. I did still have a few gripes. The staff really didn’t interact with anyone, it seemed like they just worked around kids and didn’t really talk or acknowledge anyone there. The only time anyone really said anything was a few times I saw staff telling kids to walk not run, and they made a pa announcement reminding parents they had to mind their children at all times which I felt was a bit rude. Pricing was also a bit much in my opinion. It was a bit smaller than I was expecting and charging parents 9 bucks to accompany their children seems a bit ridiculous. I gets it’s comparable to other places, but to me when it’s a children’s center charging parents to watch their children is a bit much.

Took my 7 year old granddaughter. She loved the variety of experiences. The slime making session was her favorite. There was a large variety of activities for ages toddler to 12 yr olds.
