This is an okay kids museum, they have one indoor exhibit, and a small dome planetarium. The staff is dedicated, and the twelve minute stargazing show is very well done. Dont expect to spend more than an hour here. If possible combine your visit with the coal museum, if that is open. Hours are not updated on Google, so calling is good.

Readers heaven! Every kind of reading activity to encourage children to read! English and Spanish activities. Worth admission (which was $5 at the time)

The youth museum was an amazing experience for our 3yo. She had so much fun learning the letters and numbers on the interactive exhibit. The underground tour of the mine captivating and extremely informative. The tour guide Kenny was very nice and knowledgeable about coal history. 10/10 will do again, and I highly recommend for you too as well.

Pretty much an oversized room with different little play areas. If youre just looking to get out of the house, play with some new toys or change of pace its great! I wouldnt be surprised if most kids got bored with it after a few trips but it sounds like they switch it up seasonally so probably depends on the kid. We were visiting the area and went twice. My 7year old was bored the second time, the toddlers still were interested.

Absolutely amazing!The childrens museum is more geared toward 0-5 year olds (sorry if I underestimate that!), but since it was included in the price, it was still fun to walk through.This was totally worth the visit and since there was a AAA discount, it became more affordable. My children often have a hard time focusing, but they were very interested in the underground tour of the old coal mine!They have a campground with pool and water slides. We will try to make that work in the future!

We came from Georgia and according to the hours on the door and website the museum was open but no one was there and the door was locked. It was very disappointing.

Nice people here, very interested in making the experience fun for kids - the workers went above and beyond to inform us of upcoming events for kids, and to make sure my child felt welcome. Take your kid here for a fun, educational experience.
