Super friendly staff, great stuff to do for the kids. We went for their little Halloween party and thought they followed every safety precautions possible. Cant wait to go again!

This is a amazing placing for children under 10 years old. The museum is got so much hands on AND it is parent friendly. Very little bending over, lots of things that parent and child do together.The price is near perfect and the activities and numerous.Plan to spend a couple of hours for sure. Also dont miss out on a chance to be an engineer driving a train.

Great place for the kiddo to explore. I remember a big floor piano when I was a kid, but sadly it was not there. It looks like there was a new slide added and my son loved it.

A good-sized childrens museum for children ages 2-6. Older kids may not find as much to interact wit, but depends on the child. An easy and affordable way to spend 2ish hours in Carson City. Good variety of activities: large climbing and slide structure, play grocery store & restaurant, construction play area, large rideable toy airplane, large toy rocket, 3D and interactive puzzle toys, some pretend and dress up options, dentist and doctor office, locomotive simulation, and arts & crafts. Very clean, saw the staff spraying lysol and keeping things clean. Love this as a local option for my 2.5 yr old to play and learn!

I took the my daycare kids to see the museum I havent been for a long time and they loved it. However, I wish it was a little bit more interactive. You can keep the history part of the whole museum but add more in depth learning to it for all ages. Infants to teens will honestly want to know more and I feel like if there is more to do for the kids than more and more kids will want to come.We did have fun though! And the front desk ladies were super sweet!

I dont know what I was expecting when I brought my daughter, but this wasnt it (i think i was expecting organized museum flow - like one display/exhibit flowing smoothly into another). But this was - - - Kids running everywhere, rickety building (that has its own charm to be sure), a huge room with chaos and exhibits seemingly everywhere... But once i was committed (10$?? 15$?) - its actually pretty dang cool. Theres a little bit of something for everyone and its very much a place for kids to explore new things. Theres music stations, nutrition stations, Nevada history stations, plus a whole bunch of other things. I will definitely go back for a rainy day visit with my kid to explore more. It is also a venue option for kids birthday parties which I would also consider for the future.

It was a great and fun experience for kids. Both of them (4 and 8 years old) had a lot to do in the museum for hours. All the equipment is in a very good shape. They also have a good price about 10 dollars for a kid.

Love this place.I like that it’s very much targeted for kids a little bit younger (toddler and preschool) not to say older kids won’t have fun but as a mom of toddlers, we don’t find of indoor places for younger kiddos.Place is clean and well kept as well.

This is an ok place to bring your kids.if your bored and want to get out of the house...kinda boring for the price. Way over priced for what its is it cost 40$ to bring my kids to play with the same kind of toys the have at home.I could take my kids to McDonalds and play at home for cheaper and the same experience. It is focused around younger children.

This is the best place to take little kids in the whole valley, bar none! Tons of interactive play and a whole STEM/art center downstairs. The staff is friendly and encouraging to kids, and they listen to patrons on fun new configurations so that the place is always changing, even just little bits at a time.

We love this place! The kids all have a blast and the staff is so kind. Theres is a small snack selection and a picnic bench out front, making it really convenient. Definitely worth getting a pass. It pays for itself almost immediately.

Great place to take 1 or 8 of the kids. We take our 1-1/2 year old granddaughter often & its not only fun for her physically but terrific for social interaction. Activities for kids of all ages with science for older children. Highly recommend.

The Childrens Museum is a great place to bring children, ages 1 to 12 for creative play and interactive learning about Nevada history and wildlife. Other activities included a climbing and slide structure, an airplane-shaped teeter-totter, a child-sized play market and restaurant, doctors office, governors office, a jail, a gold-panning sluice, and many other interesting interactive displays.

My grandaughter absolutely loved it. She asked to go back. A great dsy to spend with kids. The staff was amazing.

Review №32

A great place for youngsters to run off energy and learn what they can about each room. The only thing negative I have to say is every toy and station needs to be cleaned weekly and sprayed with disinfectant daily. The last time I went with my 4 grandchildren we all got sick with nasty intestinal troubles. I ( grandma ) ended up in the ER extremely sick and so did youngest child. Hopefully children wont be able to fool their parents into thinking they are not sick when in fact they are so they dont go and spread their germs.Like I said this is a great place to get a fun learning experience.

My granddaughter and II went to the childrens museum expecting a museum. We were charged $10. $6 for me, $4 for my granddaughter. That was fine, until I actually got inside and realize that this isnt a museum. This is a playroom. Charging an adult $6 to watch the Children Play was is rather annoying. My granddaughter explored around for 20 minutes or so and then we played with some of the building block sets for another 20 minutes before she was ready to go. Its a nice enough place but not a museum.

Review №35

Unfortunately this place is a huge disappointment!It is a great idea... Abe Is a hollow reminder if perhaps was once an exciting place to.come play and learn.The place is very dirty. Toys are broken, many things dont work.I think this place just needs a big overhaul and could be restored to maybe what it once was.I wont be going back until the overhaul takes place...

Our little ones loved the Childrens Museum; so much so that we held our toddlers birthday party here. The party guests and parents all liked it also. There are lessons learned here for toddlers and older children alike. It makes learning fun for them!

It was kinda a let down. The kids had fun but everything is a mess and most of rooms are missing the props. Buttons that were supposed to make noise didnt.It was chaos. People just let their kids go nuts. My kid got bit by another kid.

YNice clean recreation for kids. You are required to pay 10 dollars a day to let your child play unsupervised?? One lady in front on phone most of time. Cute and good for Rainy days or super hot days(ac) I will take my granddaughter back to try story time on Tuesday morning.

Review №44

My son loves this place so much. I dont understand why parents get charged to enter its a bit odd sense we dont do anything but watch our children and keep them safe. Its an amazing place and a very great idea. Also with winter here this place gives the kids somewhere to burn off energy and keep warm. Just wish I didnt have to pay for myself, I can do my part anywhere for free, be a parent. Or maybe hire me to clean the place thats a good deal haha just saying.

Such a fun place to bring the kids! It is a giant play town on the first level, with everything from a doctors office to a grocery store, to a governors office. There are also construction toys, a rock wall, a playplace and slide. Downstairs is the STEM area with lots of challenging puzzles and hands on math and science. If we lived a little closer we would definitely get the year long family pass.

Our was a great place for my toddler to get his energy out and admission was cheap. I gave a 4 instead of 5 just because some of the toys were old, but it is a non-profit and toddlers dont care about the age of the toys. But my son thoroughly enjoyed himself.

This muesum is wonderful. The staff is nice and positive. Its quaint and you can sit down and watch your little ones play and see them from one side of the room to the other... The museum has stick rules about cleaning up after yourself...(which you should do anyway! Proper manners!) The price is amazing I got a 6 month membership for $40! My kids love this place!

Great place to bring children of all ages. My 1 year old enjoyed it and so did my 4 year old. There was much to learn in the STEM area. Dissecting a human torso, kinects, weights to learn balancing, a microscope, and fish in a bathtub!The staff here are all kind and want to help children develop and do their best.6 month membership is $40, 1 year is $70. Under 2 is free, kids are $4, and adults are $6. We purchased a membership and plan on going frequently. Its a warm play to play when its snowing.

Great place for kids of all ages! I take my 18 month old & my 7 yr old niece. They love it. Different rooms set up like different places (grocery store, school, doctors office, music room, etc) They have a huge climbing area with a slide, a rock climbing wall, tons of learning activities.

My daughter had her birthday here. The main floor of the childrens museum is one big play area. There is also a downstairs area with STEAM rooms and a birthday party room. With the party package, you can rent the room for two hours and the kids are paid for until the museum closes.Everyone had fun - the only thing my daughter didnt like ws that the birthday room didnt have a hook to hang a pinata.

My family have always enjoyed going here. There is lots of stuff for kids to do, however, not everything is in working order. As a parent I like it here because I can see where my kids are playing from a distance. Would recommend!

Review №76

This is the worst place I have ever been, I will never bring my kid here again. My daughter is almost all the way potty trained, and she had an accident. No big deal, it happens. We cleaned up the potty on the floor and my girlfriend took her in the bathroom to change her. As my girlfriend and daughter are walking into the bathroom the employee walks up and starts chastising my 4 year old. Telling her that she made a mess and now other people have to pick it up. My daughter is already upset that she had an accent and this old lady is standing there yelling at my daughter. Completely unacceptable! She was incredibly rude from the moment we walked in. As we were leaving, after my daughter was all changed, she gave us an incredibly rude look and started telling everyone in the lobby a girl peed herself and made a mess I had to go clean it! I will never come here again!

This museum is in an old church building. They have 1 large room with everything in it. Its a nice place to bring your 3 or 4 year old when you want to just sit and relax while they entertain themselves. Not worth the price, though.

Review №80

Definitely best for younger kids--its like a one-room playland, but a very good one for the right ages. My 7-year-old had a lot of fun when we visited with one of his playmates, but might not have enjoyed it solo. My 11-year-old was completely bored. Id say 7 is probably about the top end of the ideal age range.
