What an awesome place! Staff are super friendly and helpful and accommodating. Our son is 7 and Autistic and I do believe this will be one of his favorite places to go!

We are from Nebraska and we really enjoyed this childrens museum. Lots to do.

Excellent place for kids and parents to play together!! Safe, colorful, creative, great exposure to real life places. The Luckey Climber is a beautiful addition!!

Wonderful, fun filled experience! So much to do and learn about there! Clay room and other additional activities!

I take my niece and my kids everytime. Theres so many things to do, its one of their most favorite places to visit. From dress up to tree houses to how water in canals and rivers work along with pipe flow. From teaching to grocery shop and how produce gets to the grocery store, theres something for almost all ages, even my littlest got exhausted just watching

Staff was very friendly! They have tons of cute things inside and out. My girls love this museum!

I love this museum! I feel it is a really nice place for kids to just do stuff and hang out with their friends!

The membership is well worth the price. It always gets you into a lot of other museums across the country. I like to take my son here to burn off energy, build new creations and learn. Also awesome for days when we cant get outside.

This was an impressive set up. It was our first time here and our kids (6 1/2 and 19 months) really enjoyed it. Its set up as a village - shoe store, vet clinic, pizzeria, grocery store, etc. Quite lovely. Our toddler LOVES LOVES LOVES water, so my only problem with the place was that the water table area flowed into every other area and I couldnt keep him out. He was DRENCHED by the time we left. Im sure there are other parents who would also like to see that area be a little less accessible. Overall it was great and we will be back!

Employees cleaning/sanitizing everything was nice to see. Wish more parents were willing to pick up after their kids or it is just chaos/mess for the other visitors. Overall glad we visited today and we will be back soon

We love all of the exhibits and cant wait to come back!

Such an amazong place. A huge shout out to the girl who ran the think shop our past like 3 visits she is so great with the kids. She really makes it a good exsperiance. The way she engages with them about their projects is so special. I wish i new her name I only know it starts with a K.

LOVED it. Messy but it was BUSY my 2 kids, MY S/O AND I too had a BLAST cant wait to return!!

Nice place for kids of all ages. A must during Navy week for sure!

My daughter loves the Family Museum! Always fun and interactive exhibits.

Exhibits change for multiple fun trips. Everything is geared for family fun. Maker space area is a great way to introduce kids to tools. Great experience at a great price.

Always a pleasure to take my daughter there..

I didnt see my family on exhibit, having been adopted after spending 17 years in the system, I was hoping for the family experience through the museum format. The best part was that the bathrooms had doors, I havent been used to that and to me it was a revelation, I hope that I can see my family on exhibit some day. Thanks for the free toilet paper too! Nice touch! Very classy!

Nice place,they keep sanitizing the place.

Lots of activities for my 4 children, ranging from 6 and to 13. The Think Shop was my favorite, allowing myself and my 7 and 13 year old daughters to make wooden crafts with the availability of different types of materials and to use actual tools. The other two loved running around, making pizzas in Sals Pizza Shop, delivering mail to all the shops, picking fruit and veggies from the orchards and fields. So many activities, Id be long-winded if listed them all. Besides, that would spoil the excitement!

Always surprises me how children under 12 love this place. Always something to do. A clean safe place to take the children. If you havent been there and have a child Under 12 its a must-see

Grand daughter had a blast. Little exhibitsFrom farming to canning to bridges to veterinary to grocery stores. Butterfly housesSwings and slides. She ran from exhibit to exhibit for over 2 hrs playing and having a great time. Whats more shes excited aboutGoing back. Highly recommend.

One of the exhibits was closed. But still a decent amount of stuff for kids. Not to bad price for entrance...

If you have young kids, get the annual family membership, it pays for itself after just a few visits. We got our son a membership on his birthday and plan on doing it every year until he outgrows the museum. So nice when we just want to pop in for an hour or less, we dont feel like we wasted the admission fees.

I loved this place because my son loves it! It is a safe place for parents to,be able to play with their kids or just to stand back and watch them do their thing.

We hate leaving. Buckets of fun.

Great place for kids & families! We had a birthday party here & the staff seemed very accommodating.

A little pricey, especially for parents to just go in and chase their kids around. The outside play area is a little small but nice in the summer when the water tables are on. Wish the exhibits changed more often they seem to be the same everytime we go. Also so many items are really outdated, the toys and small house area could just use a little bit of a freshen up. But overall we enjoy our time there.

We have a family membership and our 2 year old loves going! We spend about 2 hours there each time

This is the best place to take a kid who needs to spend some energy! Think Shop, outdoor playground, giant kids town.

Great place for family outings and events

Amazing place for kids to spend Quality time learning and having fun at the same time.

I took my 2 year old son and he had a blast.

The family museum is a great place to go and hang out for an afternoon. The kids always love it

Grandkids 4 &1 had a blast. About 2 hours does the trick.

Its expensive to just go for a couple hours unless you have a yearly pass. The staff are friendly and the exhibits change a couple times a year to help my kids entertained.Its set up in a big circle so its a bit harder to keep track of multiple kids but the staff are great at finding kids if needed.

We all had a blast there. Such a fun place to just go and have a great time exploring things.

Very cute for littles to learn and run off energy at the same time. $9 per person, which I thought was kind of expensive for what variety they have. Cheaper prices in WI at childrens museums with alot more to offer. This place did have a really neat art workshop classroom where you pick a piece of scrap wood they have and lots and lots of bins with random doodads to choose from to create something neat. Lots of tools available to use, glue guns, etc. Really cute exhibit to encourage imagination and creativity. The whole museum is perfect for all ages though!!

Always such a great time with my boys. Weve been going for years. Its still even fun with my 10 year old in the creation station where you can make fun crafts. They provide you with the material and tools and you can create a lot of fun stuff. My 5 year old loves to pretend hes a fireman, pizza/ice cream maker, and make phone calls from station to station. Would highly recommend. They also have a very nice outside park as well with even fun water stuff.

We have visited the museum once so far and plan to return again in the near future. I would really love to give the museum 5 stars because, the activities for the children are awesome, and my 2 year old toddler loves to interact with the exhibits. However, there are big kids that run around constantly and are never told not to by the parents or staff. This is supposed to be a safe place for the littles and it causes accidental injuries that could be completely avoided if there was more of a presence from the adults monitoring the play area. There was more than one time that a child came out of the play area crying because they couldn’t find their parents. For more than 5 minutes a child cried looking for their parents scared while not one staff member reacted. I do realize that lots of kids cry and I will admit that I thought the child’s parents were the people standing right next to him staring right at him. The worst part was when we found out that he was lost his own parents didn’t even know he was!! Please for the love of God watch your children, there are horrible people in the world and it is your responsibility as a parent to protect them from danger. Also $9 for the parents seems a little much considering we aren’t the ones playing. Other than the what Ive mentioned above the museum is awesome and I recommend it as long as you can be present.

Great place for children. Lots of fun things to do with all ages children

This is our favorite place to run off some energy - all year round. Dance lessons here are exactly what my preschooler needs to practice working in a group. Both of my kids love the Think Shop where they can learn to use tools safely and make whatever they want with a variety of supplies. Were here often enough that the staff now know us by name. Bonus!! Whenever I do a deep cleaning of our art/craft supplies, this is now my go-to for a place that will take just about any materials that my kids have outgrown, or lost interest in. Best money spent was our annual family membership.

This was really geared toward 6yrs or younger. That said my slightly older kids did have fun too. I was impressed by some of the specific features to their exhibits.

Outstanding family museum!! Always very clean and all the exhibits work every time we go. We have a 1 and a half year old boy and a 4 year old girl and both could play for hours here. Its a great place to let young ones explore and learn while playing and burning some energy off. Their plus membership also offers great reciprocal benefits to other museums especially in the Chicago area. Very highly recommended!

Always a pleasure to visit. However, I dont feel parents should have to pay to watch their kids play. Or at least have a cheaper rate as there is nothing for them to do.

A great place for kids. They even have a place for crawlers!

Friendly and helpful staff. Clean, thoughtful, working toys / exhibits with a wide variety for all ages. Always a great experience.

Really good place for younger kids. My kids really like the Think Shop. They get to build their own creations with wood and other materials. The museum also has rotating exhibits.

Great place for children to use there imagination and have fun!

Great family entertainment and additional activities. Customer service is great too. Just all around fun and must visit for little ones.

Great for kids. My son had a blast and kept wanting to play. They have a craft area for kids to learn how to use tools and build whatever they can imagine!

Very nice and safe childrens environment. It would be nice to see parents teaching their children to put things back where they go as at visit nothing was where it should be, making it difficult for other children to play. They offer wonderful schooling and extra curricular courses at a hefty cost but it is a very nice open and engaging area.

Lots for little ones to do! We stayed for 2 hours and could have easily stayed longer if we werent in need of lunch. Clean and great staff! Just wish there was food available on site.

Good for 13 years olds and younger

My boys enjoy it. But I have some MAJOR complaints. Im a single mom and have a baby AND a toddler, so when my 8 year old wants to use the think shop, he cant because I would have to contain both of younger kids in there (yeah right) while watching him craft. Meanwhile, there are anywhere from 1-3 museum employees who are supervising in the think shop, except, apparently thats not their job. IM supposed to supervise all three of my children simultaneously or I get scolded by staff, which is next to impossible with three boys in three different age groups and with three different levels of physical ability. I am usually stuck with the crawler in the baby area and there are no options for me to take my oldest to do something more age-appropriate. Luckily, my middle still enjoys the toddler area right next to it, but hes about to age out of there (turns four this year). Then what? Then Ill have a walking baby, a preschooler, and a 9 year old. And I cant physically watch all of them play in the areas that are appropriate for them.Further, when my youngest was a newborn, I would take him to the back to the, which has comfortable couches and natural light and is quiet, just due to all the commotion of the play area. So my other children were in the play area and my mom was there with them. But again, I was scolded for leaving them unattended and told that it what wasnt against museum policy is if I nursed my baby in the closet-esque mothers room with a hard chair and no windows that was near the entrance of the museum, nearly as far away from the play area as the back area! Seriously? Some of the employees (not all because there are a few who are extremely pleasant and I look forward to seeing them) come off as very self-important and end making me feel so incapable and unable, as well as frustrated because... WHATS A MOM TO DO??Like I said, my boys enjoy playing, but the staff here can sometimes just ruin our day and with two (maybe three) boys with sensory processing issues, this creates so much chaos in our life.

Great place to take kids when the weather isnt cooperating. Fun, inexpensive day for parents to do a play date, with low stress and lots to do.

This has been renovated since I was a child. A wonderful interactive and learning experience for kiddos! A fantastic representation of how the economy works together and feeds different needs.

My kids love this place. Its got a bunch of play areas where kids can have fun. My daughter really loves the post office area and delivering the mail to the different places (grocery store, vet, farm, shoe store) inside the museum. My toddler loves the bridge and the little house. Its a fantastic place for kids to burn off some energy, use their imagination, play, and learn :-) it seems like its aimed towards younger children, so perhaps older kids (10 plus maybe??)might not be as into it.

Great place to hang out with my GRANDBABIES!

Great place to take children between ages 1 and 10. Tons of things for them to run their energy off on while learning. Also a good place for adults if you need a refresher on economics, agriculture or physics.

I absolutely love taking my kids here! The staff is amazing. One time in particular comes to mind when staff went above and beyond. My oldest was potty training and had wet his pants. I was prepared to leave because I forgot to pack a change of clothes. The girl at the front desk asked what size he wore and proceeded to bring us clean pants and underwear in my sons size! Nothing but good things to say about The Family Museum. Great atmosphere for kids of all cultures and ages to play together and have fun.

So well kept. Very clean. Very age appropriate. Little pricy. But I would go back with my grandchildren and great grandchildren. They were visiting from Texas and Little Rock. They loved it dnd so did I.

Great place for kids to have fun and learn! Been several times and they always love it. Events are great too. Last trip we saw Santa AND a LIVE REINDEER!!

My kids always ask to go here. We have a membership which pays for itself over the year. The exhibits are all age kid friendly and they have an area that has traveling exhibits that come regularly.

We love going to the family museum. My 5 year olds favorite part is the Think Shop, where she builds wildly creative things. My older children enjoy the outdoor activities. Theres always something new, keeping it fresh and giving the kids new activities so it doesnt get old

This Museum, which wed never heard of before Saturday, was much bigger and more expansive than youd think. There was a play house, pizza place, ice cream cart, vet, post office, farm, and more! Great way for our little one to explore and learn! Highly recommended!!!@

The kids LOVED this place! So much for the littles to do and see. Probably appropriate for kids ages 2-10.

Definitely for older kids. Probably 3+.

Terrific place for my granddaughter Birthday party...she, as well as the other children had fun

Always a fun trip for the kids. They can spend hours in the think shop! Great staff and the museum is always as clean as could be for a kids museum!

A great place to spend some time!

Awesome place for our 5 year old!

Great place for a family with younger kids

Was great fun to go with my 3 yr old granddaughter

Great place for kids. Especially learning and trying different things.. very interactive

First time buying the membership and its totally worth it. Love the activities for the children.

I only visited the Gift Shop, which is an awesome store, with a cool variety of items.

Kids love going here. So much to learn and interact with.

A little pricey, but the kids love it. They particularly enjoyed the outdoor water play area. They would have stayed the whole day. Recommend taking dry clothes for the little ones. They will be soaked.

Lots of Hands on for the little ones. My Grand daughter loved it.

This spot is great for all ages. Ive learned stuff right along side my children.

Lots to do for families! Highly recommend getting a membership to enjoy all that the museum has to offer. The Business and Community Relations Manager is smokin’ hot too!

I came to the family museum with one of the children I babysit! It was so much fun to get out of the house and do something educational and local. The waterplay stations were our favorite part. This is a must visit for families!

Great place for the kiddos! We have an annual membership. So many things for them to do and create its wonderful!

Me and my granddaughter had alot of fun pretending in there as they have several little make believe shops in there, you can make a pizza, go to the grocery store, or take your pretend animal to the vet, make phone calls to each other on real phones that are set up in many different shops, plus much much more.

Absolutely one of the funnest places we have gone to with the family. And its FREE, there is just so much you can do there. I got three kids of all ages and they all loved it. And hey Im 28 and I have fun there.

My daughters field trip and she really enjoyed herself with her best friends from school

Great activities, keeps the kiddos busy and happy for hours.

Both my kids love it here! (4, and 2) we need to go more often! Membership is a great deal!

This place is a gem for kids and adults. I had so much with my daughter creating art and exploring the little town!

My children love coming here! Its exciting to see the new exhibits and watch them learn new things.

Great place to let the kids play and learn at their own pace while interacting with other children. My boys love the pottery studio upstairs with Mr.Glen.

My kids love it, prices are affordable

My boys had great fun. It is small but definitely worth the $9 I paid for everyone with my b1g1 free coupon

Great place for the little ones to play and learn. Lots of activities.

My 13 month old loved it!!!!! I was impressed that it had alot of things for toddlers and a secluded area for their age group. Her favorite part was the outside water station. We stayed about almost three hours and she is worn out. Definitely coming back

Always a great place for the kids to learn and born off some energy.

Very nice place an if your on foodstamps the discount they give is a great idea. Lots of things for all ages over all the kids had a great time!!!!

Interactive play area for children and their parents. Clean, safe, colourful and fun!

Great place to spend time with famiy..parents put your phones away and play with your children..it was sad to see just how many parents paid more attention to their phones then their kids..
