Rating steady at 4.1 stars over past year. Consistent praise for staff engagement and age-appropriate activities.
“It was a fun play area with a variety of things to do for young kids. My kids ages 2 through 8 still weren't bored after an hour and a half when we had to leave. Had I not read reviews I probably would have been slightly disappointed, but my kids had a great time and I knew what to expect after reading reviews. I also would have been hesitant to pay the full amount for what was there. But we have the ASTC museum passport (highly recommend) So it was free admission. Note that this is a new location so some of the pictures online are outdated.”
— Rochelle Hopkins“From the outside it looks a little questionable but don't judge the book by its cover. The inside was great for kids and one of the best Children's museums despite how small it is. The staff were friendly and more engaging than others. Lots of cool stuff the kids can interact with and do. Great for kids under 10 and some activities were fun for adults to engage with their kids.”
— Jonathan Kim“This is a fairly small children's museum with play area on two levels. There are many toys and exhibits to play with featuring local culture. Museum is orderly with friendly staff. There is a gift shop attached. Food is allowed but only on the first level. Large clean family restrooms. Exhibits are mostly design for ages 5 and younger. Good parking in two adjacent parking lots and on Street. $9 per person admission. Good place to spend a rainy afternoon.”
— Ben Cedarberg“Visited from out of town and stopped by the NYE celebration. The space is extremely small and just one floor- more of a kids play zone rather than a museum in my opinion. They did use the space nicely though and it was clean (besides the bathrooms that were pretty gross and smelled like poop.) I would say this place is good for ages toddler to 6 max. Anyone older may last 30-60 min max. Staff was super friendly though!”
— McKenzie GlazebrookThe museum is ideal for ages 2-8, with most activities designed for toddlers through age 6. Older kids may enjoy it for 30-60 minutes.
Most families spend 1-2 hours exploring all the exhibits. The compact size makes it easy to see everything without rushing.
Yes! ASTC passport holders receive free admission, making this a great value for traveling families.
Food is permitted but only on the first level. There are designated areas where families can have snacks.
Summer months can be quite crowded, especially on rainy days. Consider visiting during weekday mornings for a less crowded experience.
