The museum had been closed due to COVID 19 since mid March. My membership was due to expire April 30th. During the whole closure they reassured members that the membership will be extended. They reopened on September 5th and said they are extending 4 months if you purchased before July. First of all why would anyone purchase a membership to a closed museum? Second that means my membership expired August 31st. When I called to see if I can still get my last month they told me no. I was going to renew my membership for another year but if that’s how you treat your members I’ll just take my business to the Natural Science Center. Most of the past year visits included a lot of “under construction” exhibits anyway.

This museum is perfect for children ages 0 to at least 10. There are rooms of all kinds for children to use their imaginations. A hospital, theater, grocery store, grandmas house, pizza parlor, etc. There is also a section for very young children exclusively and a water fun section. There is a separate room of transportation vehicles and the outdoor garden area (with a mud pie kitchen!) is lovely. The outdoor playscape is massive and loads of fun. They do collect diapers for charity which is wonderful and there is a code posted on the door for free parking as you exit if you had to park in the garage. Well worth a visit!

The place itself it wonderful for children, it is clean and very child safe. However, they are either very understaffed or the staff just doesnt care. I tired calling three separate times on separate days, l left voicemails, and sent an email in an attempt to organize an event. No one ever responded. Im sure a private event of a minimum of 50 people would have brought a decent amount of money to the museum, however the complete absence of customer service prevented that from happening. It appears they need new management.

This place was amazingly fun for all three of the kiddos! Ages 10, 8 and 5! We cane here today for my 8 year olds birthday!! From inside to outside all the stuff was really fun, interactive and educational! And shout out to JOE who is an outstanding employee!!! After we were heading out from the Childrens Museum we learned we had a flat tire. (Yikes!) But Joe saved the day and changed our tire in literally 5 minutes while showing us how!!! Thanks JOE!!! Youre an amazing person!

The Greensboro Childrens Museum is an amazing place to take the young ones. I brought my one year old with her cousins who are between 1 and 5 years old and all of them stayed entertained for quite a while. We stumbled upon this place through Google and decided to make a trip out here. It was well worth it for our short trip up to North Carolina.

My husband and I went with our kids, and checked their hours of operations before we got there and we chose-Saturday;6-8 pm. We drove 45 minutes just to find out d**** place was closed, they need to update the hours.

The Greensboro Childrens Museum is a wonderful place for young children to learn through play. The museum is basically a big circle so its easy to navigate. While this place is geared toward young children, I must admit, I had tons of fun myself. Parking is free and stress free. In my opinion this place is well worth the cost of admission

Awesome place to take kids.My daughter loved the outside garden as well as the inside activities.There was a fire truck, race car, ambulance police car and a big rig.Kids love pretend play at the Kids hospital, pizza station and grocery store too.

An excellent place for kids to have fun! Prices could be little cheaper but still really nice place!

Such a lovely time for our little toddler and mommy and daddy too! I got discounted rates off Groupon and another discount at the museum for leaving are cellphones which is a really nice offer to parents I might add. The many things to do is joyous. Our son had a blast. We can’t wait to go back this spring to enjoy the outdoor attractions!

Sadly, they decline admission to members whose children cant wear a mask due to medical conditions.

Great place for my 3 kids! BUT! Someone needs to do something about all of the homeless people hanging out around the fencing. There was a guy literally asleep in the bushes while we were outside on that tall climbing thing.The city needs to get them some help and away from the parks and children......

Its ok my 2 year old and 3 year old enjoyed it. I think it going renovation in certain area which it needs. Its missing balls for the pipe wall there were only 4 balls and the kids fight over it. Outside garden needs help I know its autumn but still. It was ok for my little ones.

Very cool museum with indoor and outdoor activities. The gym outside is a little too advanced for small kids but super fun for older ones. Love the huge trucks and vehicles kids can explore. Great staff who are constantly fixing the place up when kids destroy it and helpful when finding certain exhibits.

This place is awesome. Lots of things for kids to do. The themed areas are neat. The staff is polite and always answers your questions. The outdoor garden is pretty cool. The outdoor area is amazing. Look forward to going back

This place was wonderful! It was the perfect place for a toddler and 4 adults to run around, get out energy and be entertained. The Water Works area lets them splash around and was easily my daughters favorite. They even have a large section for kids 2 & younger so theyre protected from the big kids. Such a great price for the amount of activities and free play that they offer.

Used to have a great time here when my kid was a toddler about five years ago, but he kind of grew out of it. Then they did a big makeover and added the climbing rope tower, and the big garden out back, and my now-ten year old son likes coming here with a friend. Great friendly and patient staff. I love it when they offer discounted admission for parents and caregivers who give up their cellphones while theyre there! Its a wonderful idea that Id love to see more places do.

Child-sized supermarket, physician’s office, construction zone, tv station, post office, camping area, train. Actual fire truck, ambulance, police car, jet cockpit, and postal jeep! Play in a pizza parlor and on the exceptional outdoor playground! Edible schoolyard. Classes. Colorful. Interactive. Hands-on. Our boys ages 6 & 12 love this place!

Wonderful place to spend a Saturday afternoon! I recommend for anyone with a tiny human.

A great place for the kids. They recently added an outdoor climbing area, make sure your kids have closed toe shoes so they can enjoy the new addition. Also, under attack by giant butterflies, no big deal.

My toddler LOVES the museum! He can play for hours and never get tired of it and its such a pleasure to see him so happy. Weve found its a great way to spend an afternoon when its blistering hot outside or pouring down rain, when being outdoors isnt ideal. Definitely worth the money!

Visiting from Maine and we have a reciprocal membership from our children’s museum in Maine. We came at 12:30 on a Monday and we’re watching other kids go in and they turned us away. They told us we could not enter because it was “member Monday”. My kids got to watch other kids go in and play and were told they couldn’t. They should have honored our reciprocal membership. It felt very wrong.They’re trying to give a perk to ADULT members at the expense of other CHILDREN, and it’s a children’s museum.

This is a wonderful place for children to explore many different hands on learning activities as it relates to them on an individual basis. I enjoy going with my daughter who is a college graduate just as much as taking my 8 year old granddaughter and my 13 year old nephew! We always have a wonderful day together at the museum!

My 2 year old loves this place!

Great place. Lots of activities for everyone to enjoy. Wonderful scenery for children. The layout is perfect for a kid to just be free to roam so, parents and guardians get ready to be in shape, this will be an adventure for you as well. Its broken down into themes. They have checker tables. Restrooms accessible and convenient. Art is displayed all over the walls and ceilings. Vending machines in the seating area. Outside seating area. You can sit in a Fire truck, police car, mail truck, and an airplane, plus...The airplane has a slide made into it. The outdoor climbing adventure is the bomb! Its a must-do attraction!- no weight limit, no age limit but if the child is small I recommend you assist the child because there is no SAFETY NET underneath. However, the adventure staff and volunteer are there to help and guide you through because it is maze-like and it takes concentration [Kids master it with ease, the adults need the guidance more...haha] This side note has to be acknowledged, Staff Caroline would not let us in through the lobby until we verified that we were there for a child; a parent had to come out with a wristband before we could enter. I loved her commitment because predictors are everywhere and this simple request is appropriate! FREE PARKING! Street parking is available.

We love to play at this museum. My children love the outdoor climbing structure the most.

Nice childrens museum right in downtown Greensboro. 4 stars because the parking situation can be frustrating. The fire truck, ambulance, race car, police car and big rig inside make up for it if you find a spot. Little kids love exploring the vehicles. They do private bday parties and have many other areas. Would definitely return.

The kids enjoyed it, but There are not too many vegetables or things for the kitchen or doctors office

I have 5 beautiful kids , 1 who is to little to play right now but the others ages range 2-10, there is something there for all of them boy and girl we been going for years they loved it ! I really like the water works new thing they got going on ! That was their favorite

The place is covered in dust. The trucks and cars are really dirty and covered with layers of dust. There are dust balls all over under the cars. Not a good environment for children to play. Also not advisable for small kids. There’s no areas where children can trip without hurting themselves- concrete floors with laminate just don’t cut it. Ownership shouldn’t be greedy if you take entrance fee plus donations.

This museum is so much fun for my daughter. They have recently added a new waterworks exhibit and a climbing exhibit outside. I love it here! (Let your kids taking the cooking classes offered - highly recommend!)

Nice children museum right in downtown Greensboro.. There are so many things to keep the kids engaged and learning. My kids especially like the outside climbing structure and play ground.

I bring my kids here once a month- we are lucky to have a museum like this so close to home.

My kids had a great time here!!

I became a dentist as a kid.

It was very fun taking our daughter here, but one of the girls working at the front desk is SO RUDE, she was the one with glasses. Didn’t see any name tags or anything. I couldn’t believe it. We told her that we were with a party that was standing right next to us & told her the name of the birthday girl & mom name & she said it was no help... mind you she seemed so frustrated... until her other co-worker with the sheet with the party we were with comes back & greeted us nicely & told us where to go. I hope she gets fire with her bad attitude, girl you work at a children museum, not the club. This isn’t the first time someone has comment about her attitude & behavior.

What great place!!!! The staff was so friendly and very clean considering the fact that so many children are running around. My family had the best time and we also showed up at a time when it was half price ( which we had no idea) but full price would have been well worth it. Wish they were in every state, we would go visit them all. Your family is missing out if you dont that the time out and go have FUN!!!!!

This place is AMAZING! I went there for my sisters field trip. Staff were amazing, the place has SOOO much to play with, I would most definitely recommend this place to bring kids! Obviously going to come back some time!

Great place to take Children and the staff are super friendly.

Be forewarned. It’s a museum for children. Not a museum displaying children. My daughter enjoyed her time here.

Awesome place to take the kids during a day out of school or on the weekends. There are so many things to keep the kids engaged and learning. My kids especially like the outside climbing structure and play ground.

We are Greensboro locals and have been to this museum many times with our daughter. We really love all of the different centers, the new water exhibit, and the outdoor climbing gym. However, I’ve noticed that many stations are getting bare. We went today and I was surprised to see the doctor/dentist station had barley anything in it, the post office had like 5 letter and 2 packages, and the pizza station had 1 pizza crust and 1 cup. With so many children playing in each area at a time, that’s a little ridiculous. I think the museum could definitely take some time to go through each area and restock. Put some diapers, doctors tools, and casts in the doctors office. Load up the restaurant with play food and cups. The market area needs an overhaul too as there are many empty shelves that have been perfectly labeled but with nothing on them. I know kids are hard on toys but the museum needs to take this into account and replenish the centers every now and then.

My 2 year old had a good time, wooden trains need more locomotives, outside jungle gym was closed for my visit

One of the best children’s museums we’ve been to. My kid had a really good time. We did too. So big and so much to do for outlet 3-5 year olds. Wish we lived closer so we could go more often.

Its very fun and I volunteer here and I might get a job here and you should come if you have kids

The climbing playground ALONE warrants 5 stars!!!!!!!!! We visited with our 6 year old and 14 month old. Our 6 year old was a little bored until we got to the Touch A truck showroom. That was awesome! Our 14 month old thought everything was amazing-lol. They both equally loved the garden and climbing playground area. Very innovative, one of a kind and an absolute blast!!!!! We went on Sunday and got $5 admission for each of us. GO!!!!!!!

First time being with my family....my 4 year old daughter & 11 year old son seem to like it they say. They had a blast! We will be back soon!

This place will amaze you the first time you visit with the breadth of activities and the oven the top size of things. And that means it doesnt bore your children no matter how many times you go. Summer camps and after school camps are great, too! Very clean and safe and friendly.

Absolutely amazing museum one of the best I have seen hands down . My son had so much fun he cried when leaving I highly recommend this place money’s worth .

This place was so fun they were so many fun things to do and there was.so many different careers like a pilot a chef and a cashier

Fun museum. Very entertaining

What a cool place! It makes me want to be a kid again just to be able to play in the doctors office and little theater. The real emergency vehicles were so interesting to climb in and explore. We loved the area for kids under two for our little one to play safely.

My kids love to visit! So many options to keep them engaged!

Our kids (4 and 8 yrs) loved it! Make sure you wear tennis shoes to play on outside playground (fun for adventure loving adults as well). Well organized town with many different places to stop. Neat place!

Fabulous childrens spot in downtown Greensboro, and it was an excellent rainy day activity for our family with young kids. Lots of play areas for them to explore and get hands-on, especially if they like role playing as adults in a safe pretend setting. Grocery store, post office, truck driver, doctor, you name it.

My kids (5 & 9) adore this place. There is a wide variety of play areas available as well as an outdoor garden area. They are also in the process of expanding. Its a great place to go when the weather is too hot, too cold, or rainy. The annual membership is a great value!

Fun place, good for kids! Could have more hand sanitizing stations around.

It was amazing all the places you can learn about

Definitely love this place. My granddaughter begs to go everyday.. LolOne thing Ill SUGGEST is to have the GIFT SHOP open until closing, cause like in our case, child doesnt wanna leave and by getting her something there makes her happy and ready to go home.Other than that... Its an A+±

Great place for young kids. Many interesting exhibits that is fun for all.

I would not recommend this place first it’s very dirty. All the toys and pieces are missing. The staff is rude. We came just to go out side on the play structure And we are from the other side of the country and can’t come back. Then we came back the next day just asking to go back outside on the cool play structure. The freaking said NO!!

This place was worth the drive. So much for the kids to do and experience. If you have kiddos and want them to get some energy out in the A/C this is your place. Dont bother looking at your cell phone... To many kids running around to not pay attention.

Amazing place to take the children.

Visited a few weeks ago and I love this place. Its a good way to beat the heat in the summer. Lots of things to do to satisfy a creative mind. Everything in there is interactive. There is an area to sit and eat so its convenient to bring a lunch and spend the day there. My child is 1 now and we have to pay $8 for her to enter. Im my option it should be free for 0 to 2 years. So it may be better to buy a yearly pass for $125 and go as much as you would like. The toys in the Tot area could be upgraded and needs to be cleaned more often.

I took my grandboys ages 3 and 2 they loved it. Stayed busy the whole time we were there. I couldnt ask for a better friendly good environment to take them. Everything under one roof. And keep s them entertain for hours.

Its nice, but after a while gets a little boring. Needs a starbucks.

Awesome place for little kids and big kids alike! The playground outside is great and the gardensare a great way to teach kids about healthy eating.Also an awesome place for a young childs birthday party!

Good place and kids love the visit and they really enjoyed. Even I enjoyed looking inside the Big Volvo truck... I think this is a must visit place if your in Greensboro and you have young kids. Staff was nice and place was clean.

Staff friendly and constantly cleaning up after the masses of kids. My children loved it. The new outside portion was a little challenging for my 4 y.o and 5 y.o (be sure you have shoes with ties or they can not climb!)

We made our first visit this month. We have 5 children ages 18 months, 4, 5, 9, and 10. All the children loved it. I was a little nervous going to a new place because my 9 year old is Autistic and doesnt do well in public. She had a great time and we had no problems. My 4 year old loved the grocery store, my 5 year old loved taking care of the babies in the doctor area, my Autistic daughter loved playing the piano and dressing up on stage, and my two sons were into a little bit of everything! We had a great experience. The staff was very nice and it will be a trip we will plan again. What a brilliant idea! Thanks from West Virginia. Only Con was limited parking.

Amazing location for all ages. A great place for kid birthday parties and quick activities. The outdoor garden / farm is really refreshing to see downtown and highly recommended!

Took my 7 and 4-yr old boy and girl. They had a blast role playing at the pizzeria, market, mail truck...and thats just inside! Depending on the weather, the outdoor equipment can to hours of fun too.

Incredibly fun with a gorgeous educational garden. Perfect for field trips and groups. Best when outdoor activity’s are available.

Terrific way to spend 3-4 hours with your young children (ages 2 -11 are the ages I would think would be most interested). The ACTUAL, LIFE-SIZED emergency vehicles, Police cruiser (w/working lights and siren), Ambulance, and Firetruck steal the show. Also has a NASCAR race car, USPS Mail truck, and the front end (Cockpit) of a Commercial Airliner, which themselves are incredibly cool. These things just mentioned, make up just a small portion of the entire museum. So if Vehicles dont interest you or your family, theres tons more to do, from arts/crafts, to hands-on engineering, to role playing in scale doctors office, construction site, restaurant, news studio (with working cameras), and and store. This place is not to be missed.

Kids seemed to like it well enough. 6yo and 3yo. Stayed entertained for 2hrs. Lots of areas to do hands on activities. Wide open play areas which make it easy to keep an eye on your kids.

Uh uh uh i am speechless this is the BEST

The staff is wonderful and will tell you right away that the museum is geared towards children ages 2 to 10. Luckily, our girls are at the perfect age for the exhibits and absolutely love coming! Theres so much freedom for them to safely explore that I dont have to stress about my rambunctious four-year-old getting into something that she shouldnt. The activities are varied enough that were able to come multiple times each week without either child (ages 4 & 8) ever claiming to be bored.

The childrens museum had a little something for everyone. My child was 20 months old at the time of his visit and we spent most of our time in the littles area, which is gated, with benches for parents to sit while their babies play with blocks, books, age appropriate figurines, and crawling tunnels. We also visited the other small play areas- grocery store, doctors office, theater, house construction site, post office, technology center, campsite, airport, train station and garage. My son loved playing in the 18-wheeler cab. The only areas we missed were Nanas house and the cafe to play.When you go, your wristband is good for the entire day so you can go out to eat or pack a lunch and eat in the small eating area there (they do offer vending machines for snacks and drinks), come back and spend the whole day at play with your kids. We expected to spend an hour to and hour and a half before my child got bored and we spent 3 hours here. Its a great place to bring your kids for a day to play.

Fantastic childrens museum. My opinion is a child over 9 or 10 might get bored easily. This museum is not very crowded and great for toddlers. Membership is the way to go if you live in the area.

Didnt appreciate the rude & disrespectful Staff When working an event especially when making comments about guests at peoples event while guests were directly in front of them hearing them this not what no one should pay for this wasnt Customer Service making anyone welcome to have an event here around negativity when youre suppose to be working not gossiping & not ruin peoples event theyre paying for especially what I seen from your staff unexceptable nor did I appreciate it !! Will be addressing this situation .....

On the surface, this is a fun filled place for kids to play and our son had a blast. We were the first ones in when the doors opened and appreciated the discount $5 Sunday entrance. They have a ton of interactive games for young children and the outdoor climbing course was amazing. However, as we played around, it became apparent that most of the exibits were in deperate need of attention. Everything was dirty. Dust bunnies in every corner, a nice film of filth on almost everything. My biggest area of concern was the downstairs construction area. It should have been a fun spot, but there were broken plastic toys, wood splinters, and dirt/dust just LAYERED on the steps as if it hadnt been touch in a month or more. We did enjoy the experience as a whole and the staff was great, but a place that caters to small kids shouldnt leave you feel like you just rolled around in a locker room.

We had a great time. They have a ton of space for the kids to run around. They did not have any canned exhibits, everything seemed novel. It was well-kept in general, appeared to be clean. They had the expansion area open even though it was not complete.Cons: Some of the buttons did not work in some things (media room) so basic maintenance would be better. Also, the music program they offered was weak. Just conducting? No banging or singing or similar?This is great now but could be a real gem once they finish the expanded area and the outdoor garden.UPDATE. We returned after six years with a nine year old and an eleven year old. Both are older than the target age but they still had fun. The garden was up and running with some nice features but a bit overgrown. They have a dig pit and mud pie area if your kids can get dirty. The rest of the museum is really just indoor play infrastructure. A pizza parlor, a train, cars and trucks, a low climb wall, giant blocks, a medical office, a post office, a stage, and others. Between this museum and the zoo we had a great time in Greensboro.

Its fun, more so for kids under 6. The garden area is fantastic, but I was sad to see it not being cared for too well. Things needed to be watered and the weeds and invasive vines were everywhere.

My kids love going here. So fun to go from area to area pretending and learning! They love the play restaurant and grocery store! Great fun for my 7 and 9 year old!

Fun for younger kids inside, but toys are a bit worn out and dirty. The lot is often full, but there is a public parking garage across the street. The new outdoor play area is GREAT,

They have renovated and have an awesome outdoor area for the kids to climb on. Its always a good time and the kids get to jump from room to room at their own leisure.

Just went in at the end of the day to gain information about my daughters birthday party- BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE that Ive experienced in a very long time (& in a timely manner) Thank you Mrs. Billings and staff I really appreciate all of your help!!

Great place to be a kid , indoor play with hands learning outdoor with climbing jumping and runing around as if its the best day ever, a must place to visit

I had my daughters 2nd birthday party. It was fantastic! I got the cherry room on a friday, brought pizza cakes and juice and let the kids run all over the museum. They had a blast it wasnt stressful at all. Everyone was friendly and helpful. My guests were all so happy they wamt to have their childrens parties there. Exceeded my expectations!

Awesome time !! So much to do, it is hard to know where to start. The staff were unbelievable friendly and helpful.

Excellent place for children, with a wonderful garden. Their goal is to educate and entertain, and kids have tons of fun while learning.

We already went 2 times since we arrived in Greensboro beginning of March. This is really great place for kids, my daughter aged of 3 had great fun and we spent nice afternoons while it was raining outside. Place to go with kids!

Very much like Marbles. Kid friendly.

I learned a lesson today that I should never pay for service before you meet the employees. I booked my daughters birthday party and paid my $50 deposit over the phone before viewing the facility because I was pressured by the coordinator. I arrived the next day to find the outside was in a mess (being renovated) and half the parking lot was gone! I went inside to be greeted by a Caucasian woman who called me a gal mind you Im a black woman. I then viewed a horribly outdated room with chipped paint and mediocre room dividers. I asked just to verify that the deposit was non-refundable after expressing I was unhappy and no longer wanted the party there. The employee said yes so..... I guess Im out of $50.

Awesome video

Mister Rogers.

Great for kids 10 and younger. Awesome new section with a big outdoor climbing structure!

Kids LOVE this place.Better than the Childrens museums in Los Angeles and in Orange County. Fabulous!

Its a great time for the kids - limited space on the most popular attractions, but its to be expected - a lot great photo opportunities and a very nice garden.

Pretty fun place. My kids (2 and 6) loved it.
