A fun luttle afternoon for the kids on their last day of Christmas vacation. Lots of fun for kids of all ages. Something for everyone AND a super fun surprise in the basement

This is a very interesting place of learning for young children. The great sand room, with toys to dig and build and ship hull to dream of a ship wreck. Many other learning opportunities on each level of the wonderful old Victorian building. The mini theater to dress up and act out the dreams, the science room, the light room the building room...and on up the stairs to more fun. The children love it!

A lot of things to do you wont get bored. There are 3 levels each with something new to do. It was worth every penny.

Excellent for young kids. My boys (3 & 1) loved it! Everything is a bit dated and I wasnt impressed with the science rooms, but it didnt matter what I thought. MY KIDS WERE SO HAPPY & HAVING A LOT OF FUN! They loved the grocery store room, the theater and the sand pit in the basement. The woman who was working was so kind and sweet. She came and checked on everyone and was very attentive. This is worth $4 per person (2 and under free). We will def be back!

This place is SO adorable! Located in an old Victorian home. Much of the original ornate woodwork is still present. Its like going back in time with fun discoveries around every corner. We are here from Chicago visiting family for the holidays and found this hidden gem close to our hotel. Our son, who is three, had a great time at this place full of adventures. In the the arts and crafts room he was able to make cards and assemble pre-cut crafts. He was a veterinarian, scientist, musician, actor, and a pirate all in one visit. Quaint is the perfect name for this place. I enjoyed the adventures and oohed and awhed over the architecture. We spent about 3hrs there. There is a small gift shop and an eating area, so you can pack snacks or a lunch. The building is colorfully painted outside, so you shouldnt miss it. No allotted parking lot, but plenty of side street parking and an empty lot across the street. Please note, I did not notice any wheel chair accessibility. This is an old house so expect stairs- three floors and a basement. Great fun. Great adventure. Really responsibly priced. I would highly recommend for young and old.

We were visiting and brought my nieces here and the outside is under estimating. They really make this place out to keep the kids busy. Very impressive.

Very fun place, full of imagination and pure play, not technology and screens. Weve been coming here with our 6 year old for a few years and its always fun. Very affordable place to host a birthday party as well, and the staff has always been very helpful and friendly.

But I called next available day and they found it quickly and kept it safe for me. my kids all loved the amazing variety of toys and rooms to choose from the whole building is a child friendly interactive center. I Just adore it. The ladies are amazing and its a place where you as a parent can interact and play WITH YOUR CHILD(REN)!

We were here for a birthday party and it is a very cute place for children to play and explore! The basement has a huge sandpit for the kiddos and the rest of the building has different themed play rooms and many learning opportunities. The staff was also very nice. Some items may look outdated, however, it contains history and is very unique. Well find ourselves back there again!

Im not from altoona but found this gem on Google while passing through. Was $4 a person and a fantastic place to let the kids stretch their legs for a couple hours. They loved it. Theres 4 floors of interactive stuff to do. Hard to beat that value.

A great deal of fun to be had for younger children. (3 to 10 maybe). It is in an older house with three floors and a basement. The basement was the best with a whole room serving as a sandbox and part of a pirate ship.

I called 4 months ago to book the room in March for my sons 7th birthday. They told me not to rush in the deposit because it was so far away and the day was wide open. In Feb I find out they never got the deposit check so I go in to pay. They completely booked the room didnt call me to tell me they never received my deposit. There was no note indicating I called to reserve. We werent put in the appointment book. Nothing. Now we have no where to have my sons party. I will never go there or try to book a party there ever again. I would give it no stars if i could. Terrible business practices.

A great place for a family to spend an afternoon. A bit crowded when theres a party. A good variety of activities. Be sure to check out the Victorian-era architecture.

Definitely needs some donations. Fresh art materials, more train set stuff, etc. They seem to be trying despite what is probably a tight tight budget.

I give this place credit and I am thankful that someone in the community is trying to make an area that is more positive for children, giving them something to do.

Activities were not that entertaining for my 2 yr old. Best thing was the Daniel Tiger room. U dont get to create and keep much. Not worth the price at all.
