From the Grasshopper Grocery with its "food" and mini shopping carts, to the splish, splash fun of the Waterworks Exhibit, you will find no shortage of things to do in this seriously kid friendly museum. Definitely not the kind of museum we remember from our childhood, everything in this place encourages kids to touch, feel, explore, create and pretend. Even the littlest ones have a place here in the Baby's Garden, a multi-sensory forest for babies and young toddlers to crawl and discover a variety of sounds and textures. For older kids (age 5 and up) they have The Garage, Friday thru Sunday. This recycled arts studio allows aspiring creative types to design something unique to take home with them.
The Children's Museum has a variety of birthday packages to choose from, even themed parties are available. Discounts on birthday party packages are available if you have a membership. Entry to the museum is $8 for ages 1-54, $7 for ages 55 and up or with a military ID. As well as $2 for parking. Hours are Tuesday thru Sunday 9am-5pm. Sandwiches, salads, baked items, beverages and other treats are available in the Caterpillar Cafe.
I have to admit, even adults will have fun here! There is so much creativity and excitement for your child to experience here that it becomes hard not to find yourself acting like a kid again yourself :)
