Very cute! My little one had a blast playing dress up and pretend in the different sections they had, like the Vet station, Grocery store & Kitchen.*I also learned that they have art classes there too!Its a great little place, but could use a little funding to grow it a bit, as the rooms become a bit crammed when more than 1 child & parent enter. More funding could also help supply more interesting & newer attractions. Whats there has definitely seen its days and are just bigger play sets like what you may have at home, but more variety and the addition of other children.Over all, was a nice experience and is luckily very close to home.

Its cute and has a lot for the kids to do considering its small size. I can understand why some of the reviews say that a good cleaning is due. I didnt care for the third degree while using my reciprocal pass though. She looked at it and said they werent a part of it, then flipped it over and said oh it says we are. Then questioned how long I had it and realized only a couple of weeks. That still want good enough for her so she insisted that I wait until she called her manager who was at the hospital with her daughter having a baby to get approval. Nice. My current and valid card wasnt good enough proof. Thanks. Dont worry, I probably wont come back.

Really great place for kids. Was pleasantly surprised. Some stuff was in need of repair, but still worth the ticket price.

We had a wonderful time here for several hours. The museum is a house and a great size for children to easily feel relaxed, with many interesting play areas.

Cute cottage like structure with themed rooms.Ages 1-9 were entertained. Baby area was well equipped with foam climbing mats, and other hands on activities like a magnetic wall and soft musical toys.The outdoor featured a playground(bigger kids), a sand box, and water play area.

We took our granddaughter to this museum, and it was so much more than what we expected. There is so much to do for kids to play with, and it is very enjoyable for the adults to see their children learn. There are several rooms with all kinds of tactile items to interact with. I dont want to give away too much, because I want people to be as surprised as we were when we got there. The story time and art classes with Miss Sima are the true highlight of the museum though. She is an amazing and patient teacher. She taught the children how to make pinwheels, and all the children were completely focused on her instruction, which is not always an easy thing to do with 3+ year olds. Lastly, they have a new area with stand and play water models where the kids can play with boats and watch how our water systems work. We will definitely go again. This is a place your children will never get tired of. Enjoy.

It is a small place but definitely fun! They have different rooms with different themes. They have outdoor stuff, too. We just didnt go because it was too hot to play outside. Our 2yr old enjoyed playing and even my husband and I had a good time.

It was closed when we got there & has some weird hours so make sure to check before you go. We did see the outside & it was adorable. Edit: we finally went inside and it was amazing. They have little rooms for different types of creative play, an awesome play grocery store & a calming sensory room! I would love to have my sons birthday here.

I was very happy with this museum. I am not sure if it was because we arrived on the day of a wedding we attended, but the entry was free. The inside was filled with toys that my child was allowed to play with. Bring your children, it was a nice time.

This is a fun place but they dont allow strollers inside and they dont allow older children to play inside while you wait outside with a sleeping sibling (new rule). So for two kids it just doesnt work unless your baby is small enough for a sling.The slides outside are nice but too hot to slide down in the afternoon.

Love to take my children there. The staff is friendly. Great family activity. Also I learned that there a school in their meeting room during the day. It’s called Tapestry Academy.

Great place for childrens events and/or parties. They have a party room with a kitchenette, DJ Booth and small stage. Easily fit 50 people comfortably for a birthday party. Outdoor playground and indoor themed playrooms so kids can use their imagination and play. Friendly staff, on-site parking, not on a main road so its a peaceful location without a lot of traffic.

Review №15

Really cute atmosphere for younger children. Outside had fun toys and water tables. Inside were cute little rooms which had different play themes. All in all totally worth the five dollars. The only thing I will add is that they should limit the age of the older children. They tend to push over the small kids.

The kids love it. I know they work hard in organizing, keeping things clean and changing toys up. I only give them 4 stars because I think they shouldn’t charge the parents’ entrance when they need to go watch their kids. I found the membership is worth it if you go often. Also, staff could be a little nicer :)

I love coming here with my kids. Its a safe and air conditioned place to take both my girls under five. They play dress up, doctor and pretend to grocery shop. There is also a playground outside that looks like a pirate ship. One of the only fun indoor activities for kids left in East Boca.

So great for younger kids. Each room is a different theme. My 4 month old loved the light room and bubbles. My 22month old loved the whole house. She went from room to room. She even loved the water sensory display that was out side. I felt that the $8 for a simple art project was pricey. I also felt that having to pay full price for my infant was a little steep but my daughter loved it for the both of them.

Small place with many toys for children. I can say a good place to play and learn. Children love it. Outside area is not in a very good shape, can be better maintained... They have a parking place. The ticket is $5 per person (adult or child)

The toddler I took here had a blast! Little rooms and nooks chuck of very age appropriate stuff to touch, learn and play with. He moved around the areas and tried almost everything, including the play areas outside. A favorite was shopping and pushing the grocery cart in the Publix.

Wonderful place to take kids to on the weekend. They have great activities during the winter holidays. The schedule changes every season so I recommend checking before you plan a trip there. They have lots of parking during the peak season. A hassle-free recreation!

A wonderful place full of charm. The building is historic and has an old cozy warm feeling.Every room has a theme and is well equipped with toys.We came for an hour and ended up staying for 4 hours .Nancy, the new director is very welcoming and eager to involve parents in the development of the place.I highly recommend for kids 2-8 and for parents with an active imagination.

So many reviews and complaints on how small it is.Yes, its small..so what. My daughters had a blast. I dont think kids under age 5 really care about how small it is, they just want to play and use their imagination. Theres not concept of size for them. I guess its just a grown up thing to find something complain about it. I went for my girls to play and have fun not for myself.

A little crowded. Was more shocked about the caregivers allowing their children to absolutely destroy this place! Great age appropriate activities for 2 to about 5! Like the water tables the best. I would recommend for those parents brave enough to witness some little ones with absolutely no restraints.

Review №37

I was worried after reading some reviews that it would be dirty, but I did not find that to be true. My 4 year old and almost 2 year old were entertained and enjoyed all the play areas. The only bummer was that all of the outside areas were closed today. The pirate ship and the carriage were closed because of the hurricane, and the water tables said closed for maintenance but another patron said they have been closed since a month before the hurricane. It is definitely geared for younger kids, and the few kids over 5 seemed pretty bored. The staff was nice and we enjoyed our time there.

I bought the yearly membership pass but we probably wont use it much. The place is an absolute disaster and very dirty. They only have one young girl working the front desk, who is very sweet, but spends the entire time on the phone and forgets everything you ask her. Members still have to pay for ALL of their events, they just give you a couple dollars off. It has potential even though its tiny inside, but whoever runs it is simply not on top of it.

We love coming here! The imaginative role play is endless with the doctors office and grocery store. We love the indoor playground and story time too. The membership is worth it for rainy day play dates all year long.

Review №54

What a waste of time and money...very disappointing. the place is tiny, cluttered and toys are old.The train track was falling apart and missing pieces. It wasnt on a train table either, it was on the ground!Also, the only part of the museum that was fun was the grocery area. However, the grocery room was tiny and there was very little room for toddlers to push their carts around. It was seriously just absurd.I cannot believe people make money out of this place...you call this a museum??How about I open my home for people to come play with my childs old toys, call it a museum and charge for admission? Seems like a great idea!

The place has nice amenities then again its Boca Raton and the rich people here have a Bourgeois attitude and they are not afraid to display it so if youre from the wrong side of the tracks dont come here and theres a stupid fee I think its $5 a person $10 Im not sure and if they are having a catering event and youre not invited they will ask you to leave right on the spot do not delete my post again stop hiding the lies

Review №59

I saw that there was a museum where my daughter and I had lunch and I thought well we have time for a museum. I drove around and around and saw this little house but didnt think that it was it. I kept driving around. And when I finally realized this was the museum I was like yeah no. And we left and found something else to do. I think that it shouldnt be called a museum. Maybe a baby/children playhouse but not a museum especially after reading some of the other reviews. They are saying its not worth the trip or the money.

Always have a good experience. Staff is very pleasant. It is indeed small, as it is an old house converted into a childrens museum, it consists of 6 rooms, 9ne for story telling, one for a tiny little ones playground, another a grocery play, doctors office, baby paded room, and another with little trains, kitchen. My 4 year old loved coming and playing as well as my 8 month old.

Boca Raton childrens museum was one of the best museums i have ever been. it has all of the thing that almost wahtever childreen will like. you can find a lot of differents things to do and to make, be cause you can also make an do a lot of things. Also, one of the bad things is that hthe museum close very very early. Be cause of that you have to go early in the morning, so you can see and do al the things you have.please, visit it.
