I take my children year everytime Im in Lakeland. They love it. Its an amazing place. It is very clean, the staff is always friendly and they always have new things for the kids to explore. 3 floors of fun!!! Anyone in Lakeland should get a pass or visit when in town! Plus, during the holidays, their front windows are decorated and its out of this world BEAUTIFUL!

Took our 4 year old there with his preschool class and they all loved it. There are 3 stories, although the third story is small and didnt have too much to offer, the kids could have easily spent hours longer playing. My son especially loves playing in the orange juice factory on the lower level. There is also a few activities for adults that kept us entertained.

My husband and I stopped by to inquire about a birthday party for my grandson 1st birthday. The staff was helpful and very knowledgeable. They invited us to explore and take a look at what the museum has to offer. They did not rush us or anything. We talked about the different activities as well as the tutoring programs they offer. We were very impressed so we booked it.

Amazing experience! They have so many activities for all ages and every person we interacted with was friendly. The ladies leading the crafts were so outstanding and attentive with every child. We will be back.

We live in the Tampa area and had no idea that downtown Lakeland was so nice. We stopped in a the Childrens Museum for 1 1/2 hours. My four children had a great time and didnt want to leave, but we were on our way to Orlando to meet someone. I liked all the wall art. My children liked the orange themed play area, the instruments and video games. This is a nice place for a few hours combined with a visit to one the restaurants and shops that are on the same street.

When I was a boy this building was the Kress store. I am so thankful that this piece of Lakeland’s history has been preserved in such a creative way. In recent years my nieces and nephews have enjoyed exploring the three levels of exhibits. It is located on beautiful Munn Park.

We had a birthday party here and they actually let you show up early or stay later than the designated party time. Which is super nice of them! We didnt feel rushed. It was affordable and all of the kids had a great time. They ranged in age from 3-12 and everyone left exhausted and wanting to come back! There are a lot of hands on activities and a little reading area if anyone needs a break. The best part is the orange tree playground thing on the bottom floor and a mini Publix!

Our kids had so much fun here, they didn’t want to leave even after 4 hours. We’re vacationing in the Orlando area, and looked for things they could enjoy. At their young ages this was a much better experience then any of the big parks. Highly recommend!!

Very clean, awesome programs for 1-6year Olds and just a great indoor play and learning environment!

My kids and I LOVE this place! They have such unique activities for children to explore! Its a great way to escape the Fl heat and have fun with the whole family! Awesome staff!

Kids really enjoyed it!

The kids had a blast

We have been coming here for years and my kids still love it every single day. My oldest still loves it after 3 years. Always something different going on that is educational and entertaining! if you need something for your kids to do, I would definitely recommend that you bring them here. #learn #rainyday #culture

Lots of hands on fun! My 8-year-old and 3-year-old didnt want to leave. They loved the orange factory playground downstairs!

I brought my kids here and they loved every exhibit on all floors. Staff is very enthusiastic and lively. Quite a good piece of Florida history that should be looked into if youre in the area.

I took my son here in Oct and he loved it. He is 2 years old and really enjoyed playing there. The place is a little run down though and needs some updating. The price is a little high for what you get. Ages 2 and up is $9 each. I can understand that for the kids but as a parent that didnt do anything but watch my kid I felt that was too much. Also you arent allowed any drinks, it has to stay at the front desk and absolutely no food is allowed. This wouldnt have been an issue for me had they mentioned that on the website but we brought lunch with us and had to sit outside on the sidewalk and eat it.There was a (sort of) breastfeeding area, which is a chair in the corner of the tot area with a curtain. Better than nothing I guess. The staff wasnt helpful at all, I had no idea where the activities were or showed where the elevator was.All in all it was a cute little place for my son to run around at for a few hours but it needs some cleaning up and needs to show on the website that food/drink isnt allowed .

What a great museum designed for kids. The employees are awesome and the exhibits are amazing, great for the little ones and for the parents.

Great place to take little ones and for a good price! Definitely recommend

Taken my 3 kids here alot but for the price itsnt worth i

Very outdated place. It hasnt changed much in 15 years. Too expensive for what you get. Not memorable. My elementary school kids were bored.

Definitely not worth the cost at full admission. Dirty and small play areas. Staff is also not friendly. I’d find something else to do with your time.

I was hesitant to go because my baby is only 8 months. However it was a great stop for us. The 2nd floor is where he had the most fun...the tot spot is being remodeled. I do agree that the whole place needs a good cleaning and remodel. For $4 it was not bad.

With lots of hands on material for my son to tinker with, he had a blast and learned quite a bit. Very clean exhibits.

My family stopped here for a 2 hour break from the car while driving to Disney world. This was a fun experience! Theres lots to do with my two kids, 1 and 3 y/o. I especially enjoyed playing with them at the large play grocery store. It wasnt crowded during the week when we went which was another big plus. Highly recommend, especially for the price.

Fun place to take the kids on a rainy day, or just needing to get out of the house

They have numerous interactive exhibits set up for the kids to play with. Some of them are: theater, doctors office, a newsroom, a grocery store, a school room and an orange juice factory. There is a cockpit of an airplane and a working fire engine. All very clever ideas.

Recently while visiting family in Lakeland we took 4 of our grandchildren to visit your museum. Their ages range from 1 1/2 years old to 11. All 4 of them had a blast!!!!! We spent 3 1/2 hours there and they didnt want to leave! They especially loved the orange grove. They shopped at the market and put on a play at the theatre. The two oldest loved the news room and studio. The 6 year old loved the space ship and fire truck. And the baby loved climbing up into the tree house and reading books with Grandma. I was impressed with how well the facility was kept up. I would love to see something like this in the town where we live. Maybe...

Kids loved it but...... needs some extreme updating and to be deep cleaned. It’s super dusty and musky inside each floor esp the top floor. Exhibits need updating and cleaning and to be replaired etc. idk to me it wasn’t worth the $20 to spend for my son and I to go play at for a few hours. Our allergies were killing us the entire time.But again, the kids really enjoys playing here. There is lots for them to do. Staff was super nice and helpful with all questions etc.

People beware when they say “Children under 2 free” they really mean children under 1 . For what they have left over now from the first time I went, they overcharge.

Terrific museum for small children. Lots of hands on exhibits that both adults and children can explore. They also have supervised arts and reading activities.

Best place to spend hot Florida days The $90 family membership..is the best money you could ever spend

Not a good experience at all. There were way too many children not being supervised with no shoes on and being reckless to the museum and other children. Unfortunately the only staff person insight was sitting at the front counter on their phone. Such a sad thing for a small business in Lakeland with so many generous people and organizations donating to them.

Great museum for younger kids. Always very clean. I had one of my daughters birthday parties here about 3 years ago and the kids loved it- it was a science theme.

Cool place to take the kids. It also offers summer camps and learning classes through out the year. Staff there is friendly and full of energy.

One of my favourite places to go. Very fun. Attentive staff.

Great place if you can get a discount. Kids can run a little wild and some stuff is in poor repair, but the kids had a blast.

Its great! Clean, exhibits all working, my kids can stay for hours playing and not get bored.

I like it its nice for my sister and cuz so yes come and join us and kid goals on September 20 at this place bye love the fans

My daughter loves all the different stuff to do. We love spending the day Exploring!

The kids think its pretty neat but there is only one floor that is truly worth the money

Kinda lame, but not expensive. Worth a visit

Really good for younger kids. My youngest is 8 1/2 and she was too big for some of the activities. The Publix area is ok. Some things in the news area dont work. No chalk in school area either time we went. The third floor didnt have much of interest. The orange floor was barely ok.

I love it..my children never want to leave. Staff is awseome.

Best place to take the little ones who want something different, not crowded and its always clean.

Great fun place for kids. We had a lot of fun.

My child goes their and has so much fun

Peaceful, friendly and exciting.

It is OK for younger kids. Pricey if you pay full price for a 1 time visit. I would not bring my kids again unless it was free.
