2 year old and 4 year old loved it. Something for each age. The loved the big space playground. The employees do their best to keep a sanitary environment. Face mask mandatory. Hand sanitizer available. Name taken when you enter incase of a positive result. Two kids had a great time and got out a lot of energy! Sleeping now!

Perfect for younger kids. Play area upstairs is great! Would be less fun if crowded.

Always a wonderful experience. We love this museum! I never know which room will be the favorite each time because her interest changes.They also have changing exhibits that are so awesome , like caterpillar metamorphosis or small make and take projects. The pediatrician office room is a favorite for my girl. The greatest part is there are two different spaces for more rambunctious play and that is so useful with young children. It allows them to expend energy and allows more focus to occur in other spaces.I highly recommend this site!

We went in November and all my girls loved it! There’s something for everyone! And it was a great place to spend the morning! Our favorite was the space exhibit upstairs!

We really like this Childrens museum. It is never super crowded and it is reasonably priced. The new playground upstairs is really nice and kept my son occupied for a while.

Although we love coming here to explore and play , I would not recommend it to hold birthday parties. You only have one hour and a half for the whole party, that includes the kids playing, gathering everybody back in the room to eat , singing happy birthday and eat the cake and clean up afterwards. We felt very rushed given that we are dealing with little kids, they dont necessarily understand when you tell them to hurry up on down to the room to eat pizza and sing happy birthday etc. I believe they could offer at least 2 hours for the price you pay to book a party.

I have been here a couple times but some time has gone by since Ive been last and although theres plenty to do the place is really becoming run down. The toys are really beat up but the space area upstairs is great. I do think it should be more supervised by staff (although parents should handle their own kids)

I can’t say enough good things about this place. We’ve been going for the last 3 years. My 5 year old loves it. I wish there was something in NB like this.

Celebrated our gs 2nd Birthday here! They provided a lil party room and access to the entire museum. I must be honest, our lil Dinosaur loving pal only brought us to the Dino room but I was impressed with the # of rooms( trains, water) and plan on going back.

Absolutely aweful. Everything was broken or closed down. A lot of the toys were broken and dangerous. A school field trip was in place there and no children were supervised, kids were going down the slide that is clearly blocked off and closed. There was no soap in the bathrooms. I mean the list goes on. This place was an absolute disaster. Nothing and i mean nothing at all was clean. Sticky, germy, unsupervised mess.

When you got a rainy day not much to do the Childrens museam in Fall River has alot to do,with something different in every room.Good for the kids to play and learn at the same time

Review №19

I wouldnt really call this a museum. Its more of a playground with themed rooms. Adequate enough to waste some time in, but dont expect to leave with a wealth of knowledge or a memorable experience as you would in an actual museum.

This place is a really cool cheap thing to go and do with youre kids. We had a great time going between the different rooms and the kids love it because they get to touch everything lol. My favorite was the huge space room upstairs they have. All kinds of space to run around and a huge jungle gym to climb all over. Definitely give it a visit if youre in the area.

This is a fun place to bring your little ones. We enjoyed a few hours here and could probably have spent more time. There are so many rooms for the kids to explore that they didnt seem to get bored. It was very enjoyable and relaxing place to go.

Great museum on a rainy day. Enough variety to keep a 4&6 yr old engaged for 4 hours. We have visited multiple times.

Review №36

I was very disappointed! Water room barely had water in the toys, the play area on the 2nd floor had no Toddler areas. Ive avoided this museum for a long time, we should have went to Boston. On a positive note, the music room was great!

If you went here when they first opened and have not been back you are in for a surprise. They are even better now. The second floor really makes this place great with the life size operation game among other things. Ive been to 4 different childrens museums and this one was the best for being able to be hands off with my kids. I just wish there was an outdoor part.

Review №44

I dont know why my phone only has some of the photos on it but had my sons 4th bday 1/28/18 the staff were very accomadating friendly helpful, the party room was clean. For 15 kids and 90 minutes of party room was $150 but after the 90 mins you can remain at the Museum just not in party room. It was definitely well worth it and the kids had a blast between 8 different rooms and 2 levels of fun.

Review №47

Ideal for children between the ages 2 and 7. The reason I say that is because my 8 year old son does not seem to enjoy as much as his 4 year old brother. Lots of room to visit. Water table and music room are on the favorites. Staff is very friendly, and the price is reasonable.

Review №48

A favorite of the kids. Lots to do and explore. Music room is always the longest time spent in an area there.

Review №55

More like a collection of educational play rooms than a proper museum. It is much better for toddlers and smaller children than older kids as nothing is too descriptive, informative or in-depth. Good for the occasional afternoon of activity with lots of neat hands-on rooms and exhibits that illustrate basic physical and natural phenomena. Decent amount of parking and a beautiful view of the Braga bridge.

Review №56

Great new childrens museum. They are still pretty young and havent had nearly as much time to establish themselves as other places in the region, but definitely something that the city needed. I wish they had been there when I get up.

An adventure for the young mind and body

Review №58

They still have plenty of growing up to do, especially when compared with a bigger city childrens museum. At the same time, the building is fun to explore. The director has many years of early childhood education experience, and in a city like Fall River (with many underprivileged kids) the museum provides one of the few places for children to get away from the television and expand their creativity.

My kids love the music room. The have different instruments they can make noise with. You can pack a lunch or snack and utilize their lunch room. The staff is friendly and the upstairs medical displays are really cool.Willettes Optical Paradise Approved!

Review №69

We just drove over an hour to get here and stormed out. The place is a mess, completely unorganized. We were standing in the front lobby waiting for the rest of our party to arrive and the kids were all so excited looking at the items onthe tables in front of them. A little ways down therewere2 women sitting at adesk ahooting us dirty looks. A few moments later one of the women walked over to us and said We are ready to get paid word for word. I explained to her that we were waiting in the lobby for the rest of ourparty to arrive and she replied well we cant afford 4 people just walkingin for free i was shocked. The woman was so rude. We walked out, called up out friends and told them that the museum did not deserve out money, and are now driving around looking for something else to do with our party of 10.

We really enjoyed the variety here. Its in an old court house with many different rooms. Each room has a theme. For the most part, none of the rooms were very crowded, which was nice. You can always move to another room if it does get too crowded.
