A marvelous collection of precious gems and jewelry in a beautiful memorial city

I love the wide open outdoor area before you go in. The kids love the art room where they have specific craft projects set up and you can also do free form painting. The kids pretend marketplace, kitchen, and dinner table is charming. Last but not least there are library books you can check out.

This place is a great spot for rainy days! Ive taken my nanny kids of all ages here and theyve all loved different areas. Theres dramatic play, art, and building areas- all to boost creativity.

Fun place to experience with the family, or friends, but the staff is not very friendly, not very respectful, and just doesnt seem to be enthused with being there.

Great place to take younger children for a few hours! Our 5 year old granddaughter had so much fun playing & pretending. Lots of things to do & see. There are many art supplies in one of the rooms that allow young people to create something to take with them when they leave. There is an area for 3 years and under that is fun for the tiny tots too! We will be going often as the northwest has plenty of days where we need something to do indoors.

Great, hands-on fun for kids of ALL ages! An especially good place for activities on rainy or colder PNW days.

Really fun interactive kid exhibits. Lots of different exhibits. The back room has an art area. Kids spent 1.5 hours, and only experienced about half of it.

Amazing for kids. Amazing for adults. Go.

Kid loves it ... funniest place ever

Wonderful place for young kids. All sorts of things for them to play with. Best $10 Ive spent in a long time.

My 10 month old had a great time in the under-3 area. It looked like there were lots of fun activities for older kids too.

Worth all my money. Highly recommend this place for families. Although, I really wish they were open Mondays and Tuesdays :(

SUCH a fun place for kids of all ages! Mine are 4 years old and 9 months old, and they both have a blast exploring all the exhibits here. The art room is great for your budding artist with lots of different projects and mediums, and the other STEM focused areas are engaging and educational. This is one of our favorite places for a rainy day in Bham!

My almost 2 year old loved it here! I loved that all the activities were imagination based so there are endless ways to play for all ages. The facility was easy to find and very clean. My only complaint is that adults are charged the $10 entrance fee even if they are only going to the family/childrens portion. I dont live close by so it felt like a lot of money just for my child to play for a few hours.

A super fun, imaginative place for fun! My only gripe is that I wish it werent so expensive! The staff is wonderful!

So excited to go back asap! We got the fam membership for the year. And it was definitely an affordable price for what they have available

This is a fun place to take young kids.. didnt check out the rest of the museum...thought it was kind of crazy to charge the parents to take your kids in..

Lots of fun for my 5 yo grandson, and educational too. Take a kid and go!

Great place for the kiddos to play indoors and there are so many options for them, all of my children like going ages 2-10. Enjoy the wine bar (for snacks, drinks, and cookies afterwards) within the museum also but I havent actually viewed the museum itself because I always have the little ones!

Great experience for Grandchildren#

Totally worth it for me. You can play tons of vintage video games and various other amusing games and feel like a kid again. Parking is a bit of a challenge and and they should stay open latter on the weekends but other than that its perfect. Family friendly. I took my camera around and got some amazing pictures the wife playing games. The staff was polite and even asked me if I was enjoying myself. Cant wait to go back next year. Dont miss this one if interested in vintage game machines of all types.

A lot of moms on Facebook complain that this place “isn’t as nice as the old kids museum” but my son has lots of fun here. I like that he’s able to run around and explore without me feeling like he will get lost. I also appreciate that if you pay for the day you also get the other parts of the museum. The only thing I dislike is there is an older lady who sometimes works in the children’s museum section and she’s ruder than hell. Pursed lips, no smile, immediately stated when I walked in my first time that they “limit cell phone use” and to not be on my phone, as if I had it out and wasn’t paying attention to my son (I assume it’s because I look like a younger mother, but it was a pretty accusatory tone that she used when staring this). Overall, this place is worth the slight irritation she causes a few times a week.

Very helpful. Knowledgeable staff. Great with children. Hands on education. (Went for school field trip)

We spent almost 5 hours here at the different interactive stations. The staff were great and the kids had a blast. I encourage parents to look over the many games and bin options that you can ask the front desk for. There is so much to offer from the FIG, take advantage of it all!

My 19 month old loves it here and I imagine she will love it for years to come. Its clean, fun and encourages imagination and exploration.

Fantastic place to take young children, especially when the weather is less than optimal. There are usually lots of kids and parents enjoying the space yet I have never felt like it was overcrowded. I love that they allow covered drinks and usually stop somewhere to grab a coffee before heading here.

The staff was very patient and kind. My 10 year old enjoyed the childrens area. To be honest, so did I.

I love taking the kids here. Perfect for ages 6 and under.

Love this museum! Big enough that my kids always love to go and small enough that I can see them the whole time.

Went with my daughter on a field trip and learned so much. It was a ton of fun!

Always a new science and art project in the art room. Special toddler space! Its constantly growing and being added to for new, fun, interactive structures and areas

Family pass is a must for those with kids. Great way to spend a rainy day with the kids.The new additions to the FIG are great and the staff are very helpful

I really dislike that adults are charged admission into the fig. It makes it way too expensive to visit this place regularly.

My young family members had a good time.

Its a fun place for kids up to around 5-6 years old.

Fun place for kids and kids at heart. Well worth admission, keeps you (and others) entertained for hours.

I always visit with my daughter when Im in town. The take home e activities are a great new addition.

Incredible place, not to be missed.

Great for toddlers and younger kids.

Try to go when its not busy and you get to interact with some other parents. We spent an hour in there and wish wed stayed longer.

Beautiful!

Great for learning the early history of Bellingham

Fun and open atmosphere.

Only for small kids

Disappointed at being told this was a whole family experience ...... should be advertised as a 5 and under activity

Great place for the kids

Interactive is a childs dream!

Great creative indoor fun
