Its located inside the mall, just so you dont get lost! My 5 and 1 1/2 yr old had a blast for hours. Lots of fun interactive play stations, things to climb and hide in and just use your imagination with! I was very happy with out visit, and if we are ever in NC again well be sure to visit again!

Kidzu is an awesome place for kids to run and play. There are tons of different types of things to do, including crafts, rockwalls, interactive projectors, reading/story time,a builders workshop, an indoor tree house, and much more. Additionally, there is a calendar of events that brings a wide variety of one-off activities in.Ive been many times, and Ive always had a good experience with the staff and the other kids/families there. My kids are currently 2 and 4, and they can spend 1-3 hours here no problem.This is a family favorite, and part of the rotation with Marbles and the Durham Museum of Life and Science.Also, it is inside of mall, which has easy options for food as a part of the trip.

Awesome Childrens Museum with very creative concepts. Great place for kids to explore & have fun. We are definitely going back the next time we visit that area. My daughter loved it!

A wonderful alternative to the large children’s museum. Both my 23 month old and 4.5 year old found fun things to do for a while. It’s not too crowded or large so you don’t need to worry about losing a kid!Perfect for the traveling family or a rainy day activity. $8.50 per person, $145 for an annual membership.

Been here many times with my now 9 and 6 year old kids. They always have fun. Arts and crafts. Small rock climbing wall, etc. Affordable. Safe.

Had a wonderful Saturday here with my three year old.

Love this place. They just added a hunt for a hidden golden snitch. Kept me busy for an hour, and the kids are still talking about it.

Cool place! Not quite what I expected compared to the raleigh museum but worth the visit. It is situated in a mall which seems off but my daughter enjoyed it after a nice short walk around the mall. Parents have to pay ... same price as kids. At the time of this writing it was 7.50 per... for 15 dollars my daughter and I had fun which is worth it. As a single child it was great to see her engage with other kids when playing at certain stations.

This is a poor mans version of the Raleigh Marble museum. So, if you have a choice, Marbles museum is simply your first choice.

My son loved it here! We will definitely be coming back.

My son is 2.5 years old and he loved it. He did nothing but run around and enjoy the activities. Staff were great, I will consider a membership.

It was ok & pretty clean; my child had a lot of fun, but I sure didnt. First of all, it cost $18.50 admission for us 2, & as another reviewer said, this is only 1/10th the size of Marbles kids museum, which charges about the same, and Kidzu doesnt even have snacks or drinks available for purchase. For that price, how about some free coffee or tea for the parents? They have an area where you can put your stuff and coats, but it wasnt monitored, so I wound up chasing around my child while holding jackets and a bag (note: dont shop at the mall before going here). My main concern is that once your child goes into the huge tree house structure, you cant even see where they are most of the time. Kidzu attached big pieces of cardboard, painted to look like clouds, all over the railings to further impede the ability to see kids inside. I couldnt relax on a bench at all; I had to keep moving around trying to find where my kid was. Unless your child is about 8 or older, I wouldnt be comfortable letting them roam around there. Also, they had some fun large wooden building pieces but not enough to build anything of significance. The arts and crafts area looked more geared toward older kids 7+. It got crowded Sat. mid day, and there appeared to be no staff on the floor or any security measures. I didnt have to sign a waiver, have a pic taken, give any info other than our names and email, nor show ID to get in or out. Whats to keep anyone from leaving with your child, esp. when you cannot see where they are all the time? Add to the cost the likely added expense of your child wanting ice cream from the stand right outside in the mall. So it was nice enough, but given the crazy high price of going there, and my security concerns, were not likely to return.

Frankly Id give 4.5 stars if I could. The place was tons of fun for my little one and it has a neat array of toddler and slightly older type activities (maybe to age 7-8?). The only reason I give 4 stars is its about the same price as Marbles Musuem but 1/10th the size though its less open area so they fit a decent amount of play room. Either way the kids will still love it.

Super fun. Local stuff. Small enough to watch two kids at once but big enough for lots of fun. Love the arts and crafts section!

Really small place for the price but its nice. Honestly I would rather go to Marbles. My 8 year old didnt see a lot of activities she enjoyed but my 5 year old had a ball. I would say this musuem is better for kids 6 and younger.

Decent place for kids to play. Polite and attentive staff. However, they also charge parents for a ticket as well; to play i.e. watch their own kids. That is just baffling.

My kids love going here and the staff is so nice and friendly. They are so nice at helping my kids with art projects.

Friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of activities for young imagination and bodies to keep busy and happy.

Great experience for kids but bummer that parents have to pay as well.

Great indoor space in a pinch for something to do. Staff has been great and even did a parents night out for our son here and he really enjoyed it. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars is that its relatively small.

Great place for the little ones. My 19 mon had a great time! Plenty for him and older kiddos.

A small place, but there are a number of different fun things for kids to do and play with.

Very trendy Nook of a play area in a Mall. Not very much to explore here at all. A complete rip-off if you have to pay for it. Thankfully you can get passes at your local library to go to a lot of these kinds of places for free so you can check them out before you spend the dollars on a return trip.

Exceptional staff and wonderful place for the kids to explore and have fun!

This is a cute/fun place for kids 10 and under I would say. Our 9 month old loved it. Small but well managed with space. The tree house was a favorite.

This place is great for kids. Mine love it. We have been members for years. Great for a rainy day. Wish they opened earlier on Sunday and stayed open later in general.

The kids loved this place! So much to see and explore. Even my high energy daughter kept busy for over an hour!

So many fun experiences for the kids! They have a sensory corner and a separate place to read. Amazing experience the kids were constantly engaged.

Hours of fun. Clean, creative, kids loved it.

Nice activity center, really imaginative design and a bit light on the educational side. But a great place for playing on a rainy day!

Fun for all kids ages. Art crafts. Place to eat packed lunch.

Fun place to play for ages 2 or 3+ with a lot of emphasis on imaginative play. Crafting and making in the Makery is great for older kids. This is also a great place to bring materials that are hard to recycle: such as styrofoam. Probably best to call before bringing goodies. They use golf tees to hammer into styrofoam which is great for hands-eye coordination. They currently have a topography sand table that is a blast to play with!!Im super excited about them hopefully moving to Southern Village and having more room and maybe an after school program!?!

My husband & I took our 3 year old son here and within about 30-60 minutes he was bored and wanted to leave. We also wanted to do the beads but we were informed that we needed to get a punch card in order to do it. The punch cards are $5 for 4 different punches. Each design you do costs one punch. After spending $8.50 for myself, husband & son I was VERY disappointed to find out that I needed to pay more in order to do this. They also have several different small chalk boards but there wasnt any chalk and the staff couldnt find more. Many of the parents sat down together and were talking instead of watching their children so needless to say a bunch of the kids were not respectful and downright rude at times. We will NOT be returning to this place!

Funny and at the same time educational place! Thanks Kidzu.

I was invited to Kudzu by my son - and his year-old daughter (my only grandchild - yay.) Arriving early I was able to walk all around the space - having a great time checking out the MANY options for young children of all ages - from little kids who are still learning to walk to youngsters at the top of the climbing wall. Two friendly, smiley reps at the counter issue your tickets (membership options are available) and answer any and all questions you might have. Safety has been an obvious concern in creating each of the experience stations - all seemed to in use as more kids arrived, and everyone (including the caregivers) was having a great time. Have a youngster? Try out Kudzu - IMHO, you will enjoy your time there.

Great place to take kids to avoid cabin fever and extreme weather. They have a nice outdoor garden/play area as well. The only downside is that it is too expensive. $7/ person over the age of 1.

Its ok. Very small. Good for elementary kids who like arts and crafts. Baby area is very small. Bathrooms were clean, nice employees. My 4 yr old enjoyed herself, so I was satisfied.

Awesome place to bring your child(ren)/grandchildren. They can play for hours and do science experiments.

Wonderful place to visit if you have kids.

Super cute little museum. Thought it was a little pricey for the size, if you take advantage of the activities they offer it offsets the price a bit. I would go back but not frequent often. I didnt however look into memberships that they offer which may be a better deal.

Well set up, lots of activities for different age groups and reasonable yearly Membership fees.

Nice environment, alot of things for the kids to do

Great place for a field trip. Has learning centers that are fun.

Its a lovely place but its little

This place was a lot of fun! My toddler went everywhere: costumes, tree house, rock wall, and the art area. I guess he didnt use the kitchen much but it looked well stocked with toy food. There is a closet for strollers, coats & bags. The only downside I saw was it is so open kids run from 1 activity to another carrying the toys, so there was kitchen stuff by the rock wall & cars area and costumes were everywhere so some kids didnt get to play in all of the areas due to missing toys. Now we did go near the end of the day, so we probably saw it at its messiest. Flip side since its so open its easy to track the kids without running all over

While the kids certainly do enjoy the place, it is really overpriced for what it is.It cost $27 to for my two kids and myself to get in after school (they close at 5) and about a 3rd of the space is dedicated to crafting.That would be a good thing except for some reason they don’t let you take the crafted items home. So after spending an hour creating a craft made from recycled goods for $27 dollars, we are told we can’t take them home. Why they want to collect kids crafts? Not sure, but it’s an odd trait of the place.TL:DR Your children will enjoy this overpriced craft factory.

Lots of fun for kids 8 and under. Appreciate that kids can be creative and messy away from home.

There are so many fun stations for the kids to play with, a rock-climbing wall, and easy access to bathrooms.

Small quarters and hard to find. Not bad for little children but a bit pricey for what they actually offer.

Great place for young kids of all ages to play and do craft activities.

4 and 6 year old granddaughters had lots of fun here... wonderful get away on a winter day.

Great staff, fun for kids especially with disabilities or special needs

This is a really great place to bring kids. There is many different things to do. Go to their website and groupon to see discounts before you go. Overall though my daughter has a lot of din here every time we go. And I also like that there is a lot of things I can do with her so Im not just standing around the whole time being bored.

My daughter comes here for the Parents Night Out and loves it, the facility and the people are great.

Good for the littles. A little pricy for the size, but its a nice, creative space.

No sign on the outside of building so hard to find but awesome when u get in.

This place is insane lol it’s a children’s paradise. So much stuff to do but sometimes a bit overcrowded.

Great staff, clean play area, hands-on activities for all ages.

Not a fan of any place that charges parents to watch their children. The entire place could fit into the entrance of the museum of life and science. I think will just stick to the MLS.

Great place for small kids to have fun.

Small-ish but I actually think thats a good thing when running after a toddler. :) Great place, nice staff, good location. IMO best to go right at 10a or after 230p when its not as crowded.

Love, love, love this place! Come here every time we visit family in Chapel Hill. My kids always ask to go to the place in the mall. Dont let their website put you off; the place is packed with cool, fun activities to do with your kids. Great for rainy days. Very helpful staff.

Kidzu is sadly old and tired. We hadnt taken our kids in about a year and were reminded why -- it is a small space and can become uncomfortably crowded and loud. The lighting needs a boost. The activity centers are just lacking. Its the same old stuff. The climbing wall takes up a lot of space but doesnt seem to be engineered well. Its not really usable. What happened to the puppets?Although our 2 children, ages 3 and 6, involved themselves in the space here and there, they were eager to leave. My 6-year-old daughter said, next time, shed rather take a walk or go bowling.Another parent commented, and I agree, there seemed to be a lot of staff wandering around not doing much. Two staff members spent about a half hour standing against a wall talking to each other.Maybe the overall issue here is poor management.

Small, poorly maintained and few STEM items to play with, which is the opposite of what is advertised.

My kids have a great time every time we come here

Hidden gem, the kids enjoyed everything about the museum.

My family and I fled Hurricane Irma to Chapel Hill from Fort Lauderdale. We were given Kidzu as a recommendation to keep the kids busy during this time. Kidzu offered free admissions unknowingly to is to Florida residents. This gesture goes a long way. I wish to thank the amazing Chapel Hill Team and the Kidzu Corp. Thank you!

Its a great way to keep the kids busy and their imaginations going!

Awesome place! Kids loved it.

Great for younger kids. Not best for 8 and up. Sad that they close the art center and only open during certain times during the day. Not going back.

We live in Carrboro and is a great place for my 2 y.o. to go and play/run off energy :) It may not be as big as Marbles in Raleigh but its still very stimulating. They have a part for young infants to play and a tree house for the bigger kids to climb and play pretend. They have an art making section, a place for building with blocks or big Lego blocks, a kitchen retend play and a rock wall. I have been to a birthday party there once and it was a quaint space for the party portion. Staff are kind and friendly with the kids-for the most part the kids are doing their own thing/playing with other kids.

Kidzu is great for young kids to play and express their creativity. They always have crafts going on in the makery. There is usually a music session at some point during the day. The staff is always friendly and they love children. We get a membership each year because it is great during bad weather. They also have books and quiets spaces, indoor treehouse, climbing wall, craft area, building blocks, and more. Lots of activities to keep your child entertained and expend some energy.

I get to unleash the Kraken which is my son, he loves it and I love it as well

A lot of stuff in a small space....no sign out front.

There was a lot of fun activities for young children

Brought my lil bro and he loved it- small but packed with stuff to do

The museum itself was great and there is so much activity for all ages! The disappointing fact for me and my family was that we had my daughters 3rd birthday party there just recently and we left extremely disappointed with the lack of organization and coordination by the birthday party coordinators as well as rude behavior. Even with 3 coordinators there, they still could not manage the event as they should have been trained to do in the first place. When we took our complaint to management, they in turn covered for their staffs impolite behavior and blamed us and our party guests/family - no apology at all for the way we were treated. We paid good $$ for this birthday party and were not satisfied at all with the customer service. We will not recommend this museum to anyone for their kids birthday party.

Great place for kids on yucky rainy days. Lots of activities and indoor play areas.

A lot of great kids activities for a wide range of ages for such a small space.

My 1 yr old had soo much fun its a small space but plenty of space for u to play hands on or give them space and sit and relax....i loved it!!!

You can only stay here for about an hour or two then it gets bored

Excellent place to take KIDDOS to play

Great place to take the kids on a rainy day. Room to run around and explore for kids of many ages, probably up to ten, maybe twelve. The small overall size contains a lot of different areas for free or more structured play.

Fabulous for under age 6.

They let kids play free for last 30 minutes they are open so you can get a taste of what they offer. If I lived in they area I would buy a membership for my children. Kids have a lot they can experiment with, play with, and build and learn with.

Excellent children location for arts!

This place is VERY clean and the workers are nice and really play with the kids but its very expensive for what you get. They charge for every kid and for adults so youre looking to spend some money when you go. we bought a membership and were disappointed that all of the music and story times are still an additional $5 a person every time we want to go.

Very good idea and good realization. Great place for kids with 2 years and up. I would recommend for all parents!

We travel full time and have been to a few DOZEN kids museums in the past year... and this one steals the show! Its not huge (medium-sized store in a mall) but its got everything you could want in one convenient place without the chaos of larger facilities. The Makery is my favorite, where there always seems to be some helpful folks helping us to make cool projects. My three year old loves the big, open play space with interesting exhibits and imaginative play props. We bought a summer membership since were only here for a few months, and I feel like Ive gotten my moneys worth in just a few visits-- and we still have weeks of time to go and play. I... ahem, I mean WE cant wait!

Smelled like seat, a bit disorganized but it was end of day.

The new location is great! So much more room to explore! I only wish theyd brought the toddler table with crayons for the littles to be able to do some coloring.

Keeping an eye on a child at Kidzu is an exercise in not blinking. #SendEyedrops

Great place for young children.

Have been here a couple of times with my boys, it is ok for a very small childrens museum. I was checking on pricing for a birthday party, their price is $325....yes really $325....you have to pick one of their themes. I actually had to call and speak with someone because I wanted to ask why it was so much for a childs party the person I spoke with could only say that that was their pricing. So apparently only certain people are allowed to have parties here. I will avoid this place now since I believe their pricing for bdays is discriminatory. There should be more options available. It should not cost a car payment (well you know I dont have a Mercedes or a land rover...lol)

Cute childrens museum affordable with lots to get into. Bought tickets via Groupon

Brought my granddaughter there and she loved it. Was alot nicer than i expected from the few pics from there website. Will definitely bring her back again

Nice folks, good place for kiddos!

Its so fun here, lots to do. We got the membership which is totally the way to go.

If you’re looking for an indoor place for kiddos to release energy, this is not it! Most activities here can be imagineered at home

This is a small place but definitely a great time for the little tykes!!
