My kiddo loves going to the summer camps here. They are affordable and I feel as if she is learned quality information at the same time.I almost gave them 4 stars after I volunteered to make them a dinosaur and they picked a pink Trex. But, I wont. ;)

Great for young kids under 7 or 8..not so much for our 10 year old

The museum itself is great, lots of different things for kids to do. But why would a CHILDREN’S museum be open during school hours only and closed on weekends?!

Kids loved it! So many different activities for kids to be creative and use their imagination! Super great and friendly staff! Everything is very clean! We will visit again next time we are in town!

Kiddos had a good time. Especially since they got the place to themselves. Well worth it

This place is wonderful- not just for kids but adults too. We took our son here for the first time and we interacted with the areas as well! We ended up getting the annual pass. More places should have things like this for kids. The staff was helpful and friendly also. There’s different areas for kids to learn and explore without knowing they’re doing it!

What a wonderful kid friendly, mom can relax & play place. Due to vivid, only one family in at a time for 2 hrs. We enjoyed ourselves as much as the little one. Thank you!

This place is great. Tons of stuff for kids to do from dress up to learning about dentistry to how am old telephone switchboard worked. Our daughter just had her birthday here and I was very happy with everything. If you have kids of any age, bring them down to have some fun and learn at the same time. They will never know its educational :D

Fun for little kids, my 10yo wasnt a huge fan. Lots of fun different areas to explore, and the price of admission very reasonable. Lost a star for the funky smell throughout.

Best place to take your kids! My 4 (ages 3 1/2 to 9) kids LOVED it and now ask we go every time we visit! Definitely gonna go back!

We stopped in with a family of 5, 4 of which were of paying age with only an hour to spend there. They graciously gave us a discount and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience there. Lots to keep kiddos busy, fun details. Our boys have asked to go back. Would definitely visit again when we are in the area

This museum is an amazing place for kids to explore and play. Google said admission was free and it is not.....but well worth the price.

This is hands down the best children’s museum I have found since I was a kid. It is completely okay based, where kids can create and use their imaginations. They have so much for all ages and it is geared for play! Both my kids, ages 2 and 8 had a blast. We were there for 2 hours and we could have stayed all day!

Dont really like this childrens museum, its too small and lack of toys. There can be more toys in the infant rooms. Good price but more variety of toys on each station.

Review №15

It is a decent place to have kids play in the down time, however the exhibits are dated and not well maintained. Its a clean facility but many items are broken and need replaced. New funding and community participation would help.

My 6 year old loved this museum. It wasnt busy the saturday that we went at 11:00, but there were enough children there for him to play with and have a good time. Theres an upstairs and a downstairs and a lot to explore.My opinion for adults. Theres limited seating. The whole place is built with wood, so its a pretty old building. There is a coffee bar, but the guy behind it was talking on his phone literally the whole time I was there and did not acknowledge me when I approached the counter. And then another person approached the counter while he was on the phone and he walked away... not even kidding or exaggerating.

This space has been well used and I love how it turned out! I really liked the Dr. Suess theme and decor. The plane is cool because its real. But, so is everything else. My boys really enjoyed the car jumps too. Super fun and cheap way to entertain the kids for awhile or let them run around for a little bit after being cooped up in the house or a couple hours driving around in the minivan.

Lots of opportunities for imaginative play. (Grocery store, dentist/ doctors, dress-up.) Area for 4 and under. This is a great indoor play area for the long winter months and a membership is worth the price. The artwork on the walls is amazing and so cheerful. Cafe with beverages for purchase available.Now I will say that if you are accustomed to childrens museums in larger cities this one might feel a bit lackluster. In the past months there have been a lot of improvements made I hope the staff continues to phase out the old broken toys and exhibits.

My 2 year old had a blast here. Staff was very friendly. Only downfall for me is basically my same complaint for all kids places... Toys were dirty. (germ fest) I did like that down stairs has hand sanitizers through out but I couldnt find them upstairs

A variety of activities for all interests! Geared towards kiddos from infancy to 12 years. Additional programs, activities, and camps available throughout the year along with exhibits in the actual museum

Such a fun place to go if you have kids. We spent between 2 and 3 hours there and our 4 year old had fun the entire time. Its so nice to be able to go somewhere where you dont have to constantly tell your child not to touch things. There are some really fun education displays too.

This place is fun for kids and parents to use your imagination and have a fun day. I wish they had a few more interactive things for older kids to play with although. Good prices which make it affordable for a family to go.

I havent been here in a long time as a patron, but I have been in a few times to volunteer for varying events that go on!The local is perfect, as its right across the street from a park! I remember going there then going right to the park afterwards on the weekends.The place has grown over the years, and all for the best! There is plenty for kids to do, and almost all of it has something to teach kids.

Such a wonderful place for kids. Especially for those with kids who have special needs like sensory issues.

Review №38

Good place to take the kids. I thought $5 dollars a person was a bit cheesy. Ex. 2 kids + 2 adults = $20... I mean just call it $10 a kid, its not like parents are playing with the exhibits. Aside from that its a good place to spend a rainy afternoon.

It was okay, nothing amazing. We took our 3 year old there and it kept him busy for 2 and a half hours we enjoyed some of it with him too. It was great for his age and he didn’t want to leave.

My kids loved this museum so much last time they asked to go back this year. I love what they added to it (the doctors and dentists offices were really cool).If you have kids and are in Great Falls, this is a must-see. :)

Great place for kids (and adults). Plenty to do. I dont know Its more of a play center, but my kid loves it. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because Ive had bad interactions with the staff. We walked there one day because Facebook said they were open. They werent open to the public, and the girl was rude about it.
