Such an incredible experience for young children. Our 3 and 4 year grandchildren said it was the best day ever!

Love this place!!! Already planning our next trip !!! The kids got to go crazy and had so much fun!!!

We didn’t tour the children’s museum. We went through the Moody mansion. Beautiful house. Lots of wonderful things to look at. It’s a self-guided tour which I really liked, you can spend as much time in any room that you like. This is my second trip to the mansion. It’s only $14 per person, so it’s really worth it.

I strongly recommend you taking your children to this museum. Your children will love it! I didnt hear not one parent complain. Most of the parents were just there relaxing. The kids are completely occupied. Every parents dream!

This is a great place to take the kids while youre in Galveston. Nice change of pace from sitting on the beach sweating.Its located on the lower floor of The Moody Mansion so parking is limited. Theres a ton of things for toddler and elementary age kids to do. My kids played for hours and didnt want to leave.They also have a room big enough for birthday parties and other events. The staff was very friendly.

Really neat place for children! Many things for them to do here! Fairly priced as well!

The staff was nice and the activities was unique. My kids loved the building station and brought home everything. They were so excited they made it. Each room is unique and appeals to different types of children. From the art room to the wood building workshop and science and car tracks in between. Recommend it to anyone.

My 8 year old had fun pretending & exploring & creating. Enough kids to play with, but not enough to clutter the stations. Parents get to be the patients, audience or customers while kids pretend to run a business or be a doctor or an actor, etc...

Awesome place for the kids. Great for birthday. A lot of imagination in it

Fun, made two year old niece happy, they also have a bearded dragon. His name is Spike.

This place was so much fun, both of my girls loved it! The staff were wonderful and it wasn’t crowded at all. Lots of hands on things for all ages. We will definitely be back.

Pretty small but was something to do for a couple hours with my 3 year old since the weather wasnt great. We will probably visit again next time were in Galveston. He was entertained.

Fun place for the kids to explore and learn! Our three kids (3,5 & 7) have a blast when we go to here for the free family night once a month. You cant beat free!!

Really really fun place to take the family. Im 22 and my wife is 24 and even we had fun. With the wide selection of workshops, to exceptionally friendly staff, its a great place to visit and let your kids run wild, from experience they will sleep VERY well. Wood work workshop where you and your children can build and keep toys with the parts that are there, a heartbeat sensor that bangs a drum to your heartbeat so you can actually hear it, so simple things like a tube with a fan below you can stick balloons in and they shoot up. Waffling on now, but seriously if your visiting the area like my family were, its worth the entry fee

We love the childrens museum. Covers a lot of ages

Great variety of stations for toddlers and big kids. We can spend 2-3 hours here everytime we visit. We love coming here because its a small space so we dont worry about losing our kids! Art room, wood work shop area for older kids, train station, drs office, pizza kitchen, fishing boat, lego wall and so much more. No food or snacks are allowed. Yearly membership is definately worth it if you have young kids.

WOW!!!! Moody Mansion is a must see! What an amazing family and history they have. Their endeavors and contributions to society reach way beyond the boarders of Galveston,Texas. I have lived here most of my life and had not been inside to take the tour. Amazing home! I would have loved to have met the Moody family. Although wealthy, they seemed like very well rounded, ethical people. Living in a time when your word was your bond. The Moodys set the standard high and kept their word.The Childrens Museum was incredible! I think a family could make memories of a wonderful day spent together at Moody Mansion and Childrens Museum!

Great for all ages! There are multiple play areas that range from infant and toddler friendly through pre teen. The entry fees are very reasonable, and memberships are a great deal. They frequently rotate crafts and activities, so it always feels new and exciting for the kids. Parking is limited, but during the week there is usually no issue.

My granddaughter had a blast playing here, learning hands on and making new friends. Has many areas of interest for kids of all ages. Parking lot has limited spaces.

Had a wonderful time with the kids. The staff was so helpful and inviting, plenty of activities to choose from. And the price was very reasonable. We will definitely be back.

My 2 yr old neice enjoyed her short time here but I think visitors should get a partial refund or not have to pay full price if you go in when theyre closing soon. The girl who convinced us to do the mansion tour failed to mention they closed the museum at like 6:00 on a Saturday. Maybe 5:00 I cant remember. It was ridiculous and she barely had time to play but she enjoyed it nevertheless. I think it would be a lot of fun to visit again and stay longer and see ALL of the activities and things for the kids to do.

Moody Mansion was a great historical place to visit. I like being able to see how people lived life. The artifacts they still have helps us to experience what it was like during that time period.

Our son age 3 had a great time with the activities, and my wife enjoyed taking photos because of the scenery inside and outside of the mansion.

Nothing worked here. I dont know how they are staying afloat. Everything was outdated. I drove from Houston thinking this would be great for me kids, but was highly dissatisfied. The yarn hats were a hit. This is the real you get what you pay for senerio.

Loved it so much! The kids did not want to leave. There is so much to do and its all hands on. They could have wandered around for days and been thoroughly entertained!

A very unique children museum, tinkering area where they explore and create, ingeniering, mechanical, imaginary, the set up in a basement of a mansion gives a vintage unique touch, full of lights, outdoor area to explore with water, and big building blocks. Toys and majority are wood giving a natural approach great for children, not overly busy with lights and noises which are a distracting factor in many museums. Art area with set up tables where they come and make their art, play with play dooh and visit the bearded dragon. Great museum!

Decent price. They have some cool things but Id say its more like a collection of some free-play areas rather than a museum.

Unfortunately its a very small area and can get very crowded. Also it doesnt exactly cater to safety for the younger ones. Lots of chocking hazards so be careful. But it was a good way to occupy the little ones time. You may be able to go on Groupon for half off tickets. Even full price however the tickets are inexpensive and worth checking out at least once. I am probably spoiled by some of the larger and significantly more spectacular childrens museums I have been too.

My 8 year old granddaughter had so much fun that she didnt want to leave.

Mediacore with maybe 45 minutes of activities. For $35, it’s a bit pricy for what you get. One floor and outdoor activities are inoperable.

Daughter loves it. Small and quaint but great on a rain day

Honestly , and I know its for Kids but this place could use a major upgrade. Ive been to the San Antonio kids museum and after that which was so good I tend to compare other kids museum to that one. sorry to say but if you are gonna charge people you can atleast have some good activities for kids or atleast let parents know the age range he that your museum accomodates. I think its mainly for toddlers.

This place looks like a old abandoned preschool. Half the rooms are dark and the only lighting is the natural sunlight slipping in through the windows. Has the same vibe as a Goodwill.

Fun place to bring your children a lot of fun activities. Love the veterinarian office section.️

Great fun, will be back.

My daughter loved this place, and we spent 3 hours there. Adults can do things also.

Kids loved it. Great place for imaginations to run free

Was a rainy day. Was filled with kids. Staff did a great job keeping up with all the kids there. Would recommend on not a rainy day. Lots for kids to do.

We visited the children’s museum today and my son had a BLAST! He absolutely loved it and so did I. I recommend this place for everyone with kids. The staff was AMAZING!

Overall this place was nice, but it was a lot smaller than I anticipated. The toddler area is only about 10 X 14. When we went hardly anyone else there, but if there had been more it would have felt very crowded. The exhibits were all really pretty cool, but better for ages 3+. Theres a fairly large outdoor area but not much in it - I feel like theyre really missing an opportunity there. It definitely had more of an intimate Montessori feel than the Houston Childrens Museum, which I like, but we probably wont be back until our daughter is a few years older.

My son had a great time there (Hes five years old). From building on the lego wall to painting to fishing, the smile never left his face. If we lived closer, I would buy a membership.

If you live in Galveston County, and have kids under the age of 8, you need to go here. They curators at this little gem have done a ton is such a small space! They have over 15 stations (more when it is nice weather outside) and they are constantly rotating many of them.This place is more of a creative play and exploration area versus museum, but it is amazing!Staff are friendly and helpful. It is always clean and straightened. Ive always felt comfortable letting my 4 year old wander around to her hearts content, without feeling the need to hover or what not.If you go, and pay for your entrance fee and love it (which you will) you can always go back to the desk and put your entrance fee from that day towards a yearly membership, which comes with some perks of its own. I would highly recommend doing this, as you will probably be back monthly, if not weekly!All in all, best membership we have at our house.

Wonderful place! Lots to do and a really cool building to boot!

So cute and has many of fun activities for all ages

My daughter has loved going there over the years and she goes to the camps. They have plenty of fun things to do

Fun place to take children! Tons of adventures to be had. Excellent staff!!! Bella and Ashland were awesome with the Birthday Party I attended. They were very patient and extremely helpful (with all ages ). They did a lot and helped the Family with setting up and take down of the party. I was very impressed with both of these young ladies. They showed maturity far beyond their years. Job well done!!

My son had so much fun here. It was big enough to entertain him but small enough that I did not feel overwhelmed.

We had such a great time here! I really enjoyed it, and so did my 5 year old! They have done a wonderful job here. Cant wait to come back.

My grandkids loved it.They all 5 found something to do .their ages 3 to 12

Such a great museum, not crowded, and so many fun activities to do. both of my kids, as well as my husband and myself, had an amazing time!

Went on a field trip here with 3-5 year old (20 of them) they had a blast! I had a ton of fun too! Its small with not many things but its amazing!

My daughter needs unique accommodation so Im always a little stressed when we go to Childrens Museums. The staff at GCM has been incredible! Before our first visit I called and spoke to a wonderfully kind girl who was at the door and ready to assist me. Even now, when we walk in they instantly help us prep the museum to make it safe for her. We love coming here!

Amazing childrens museum. Will definitely come back again. They encourage free play, imagination, STEM, creativity and a whole lot more!

We love going here. If you live on the island it is a great idea to just get the membership or even the passport membership because with that one you can invite four other people to come with you. If you plan to go more than 7 times in a year I highly recommend these options. This is a friendly, fun and fantastic place for young children. My daughter is four and loves making pretend food and serving it to me. There are plenty of places for children to go and little rooms to explore and each one has a spot for parents to sit down and relax. They keep it very clean and neat all the time and I never worry that my daughter will will get bored after a few visits because they are constantly changing up the smaller play stations.

This is a quaint little fun area for kids just below the Moody Mansion. It is suitable for very young kids. Overall, it was a nice place and the staff were very friendly. I was there for a birthday party that went very well.

My 5 year old loved the pizza station he wants to ho there every weekend!!!

Wow! We went this morning and my daughter had a blast. She is 2 and a half. They have lots of fun things and I was pleasantly surprised. I saw pictures online and had heard good things but kept imaging a tiny place. This place is not tiny!!! The price is great and parking is free. We will definitely be returning!

Excellent items to play with for young one. Staff very attentive and cordial

Excellent for 8 months to 6 years. We love it here!

Great place for family fun!

Good place for kids to come and play, especially in the summer when its 1000 degrees outside.

Didn’t get to go but hoping to next time we go on vacation. Looks really cool

It was okay not alot for kids I have been too better ones

The Moody Galveston Childrens museum is cute. It offers visitors an opportunity to interact with play areas based on places on Galveston Island. The staff was very knowledgeable about parts of the Moody Mansion and Galveston island. Its a great place for kids to learn and be interactive.

Neat place to take kids on an evening out

So much fun. Its a tad small but it is definitely worth it. The kiddos loved it. They didnt want to leave. The only negative was that it seemed like a daycare came and then over whelmed us. But it was great.

Great place for kids! They have lots to do and its located in the bottom floor pod the Moody Mansion in Galveston.

For a child under the age of 8 this place may be amazing! It is a place for them to play, color, dance, dress up and just have a great time. Now, for a parent, it is boring and not a place for adults, but it is a place made for children. I enjoyed watching my son have a great time. Yes they turned what some consider junk into toys (PVC pipe, plates, torn material for dress up), but the kids love it!

Fun play for babies, toddlers and young children. All the centers are either creative, dramatic play, building skills or science/engineering. The museum is large enough to hold interest for a couple of hours, without being an overwhelming experience.

Great place for the kids to have imaginary play and its FREE ON THE 1ST THURSDAY IF EACH MONTH...

Very neat place for toddlers. Could easily spend an hour with kids indoor. Its on the ground floor of Moody Mansion .

The Museum was small but charming and it had so much history in it. The down stairs play area my kids really enjoyed.

It was a bit disappointing. I expected an actual childrens museum and its really more of childrens activities. Not very large, its in the basement of the moody mansion. If your kids are under 8 and its a rainy day in Galveston this will kill a few hours. The staff really tries but I dont think they have a lot to work with. There was an exhibit where the kids could build things with wood, nails and other things. They can even take what they build home. It was a nice idea. We told the staff they were put of nails and we were told there were no more nails for the day? Really? $5 at home depot fixes that.

Fantastic little museum. Perfect for little ones. Our little lady is 19 months old. She had a blast.

Had a wonderful time here with my young family. The lab experiments were a hit.

Went here for the first time with my family and we all had lots of fun. Staff is super friendly. An educational and fun place to bring your children.

Best day ever for me and my 3 children with mom out of town! We werent sure if we would stay long but we stayed until they closed. My kids ages 10, 9 & 7 were entertained the entire time and want to come back. Well worth the $7 to get in (per person). Very well put together, clean and plenty to keep your kids busy for several hours.

This place is so adorable and engaging. Fun for any age.

Cute little place for kids and a good learning experience!

Must experience for children 8 and under or so. $7 for all too get in though. No discounts for anyone!

Its a great place for kids under 6, the toys are updated with consideration for their skills development. There are seats for adults to sit, I like it very much

This is a great place for kids to play and create. There are so many stations with activities for various ages. My 2-year-old loved it.

This place is simply incredible. Activities for kids of all ages and hours of playtime spent here!!

Very nice place with slot of stuff for kids to do! One of the best stations my kids enjoyed was the wooden work bench that they built their own toy cars on!

Lots of fun and great to see children using their imaginations with other kids.

Super fun for the kids. They loved it.

Wonderful place to engage kids in experimentation and hands on learning

This place is great, first time here and will definitely be back. Perfect place for your kids wildest imagination.

Love this little place, everything is carefully designed and my son loves every toy in it!

Kids of all ages will enjoy. Get place for photos! There is hands on activities in every room. So not as much a museum as a giant play place. Lego wall, duplos, water and sand tables outside, an art room with activities set up and a lizard friend, a play boat with fish and crabs, a play kitchen, restaurant, and diner. Rooms with hammers and nails and stuff to take apart. A box fan table to try your parachute, ballon, or scarves at. A huge area to try your hand at making a track for wooden balls, a kids stage with puppet theater. A clinic and so much more. Great for rainy days or the insane texas weather days!

My children (2&3) had a great time here. The whole space is very well thought out. There are several friendly staff members walking around that keep it clean and well organized. Thanks for such a great visit! We will be back :)

Every time we find new activities to do

Would be 5 star if parents werent charged to enter. Provides semi cheap entertainment for those cloudy cold days on spring break vacation.

My 2yr had fun.

Clean family environment... Great for little kids... Hand on

Wonderful staff and interesting exhibits

I bet Michael Jackson would love this place

Its small but will keep the kids intertained for hours.

Lots of fun packed in this museum; the imaginary at the cafe was splendid

Great place to bring the kids or grandchildren, lots of activities.
