10/10 experience for my toddlers! The play was amazing. We didn’t even make it out of the first play area (grocery store, ambulance, vet, newsroom). Truly amazing. My kiddos could have stayed and played for hours! And it’s so reasonably priced. We will definitely return!

Play Matters❤️! This is one of the best place I found to have some fun with my family. You just need to visit it; lots of games and stations to see.
Details about it;
🌇access to the museum is perfect and there are a couple of public parkings (free).
🎟️💸$12 each person and you can play and walk around all the games.
🍟🍕🌭you can find places to eat near it.
👮🏼‍♀️safe place for kids and family (of course better if monitor your kiddos)
🚽 family bathroom and clean!
🏬 shop/store inside if you want to buy something.
Two hours visiting should be enough 😉
You won’t regret visiting this fantastic place ever!!!

A fantastic kids’ museum with activities for children of all ages! There are plenty of hands-on exhibits that keep kids engaged and entertained for hours. The science section, in particular, is fascinating—educational and fun, even for the grown-ups!

However, it can get very busy during public holidays, so plan your visit accordingly to avoid crowds. Overall, it’s a great place for a family day out, and the kids love it. Highly recommend!

Visited during a weekday. There were many school groups but it wasn't over crowded. Our one and a half year old had an amazing time! We played until she was too tired and we had to go home. We stayed for almost 3 hours and hadn't done everything. Some areas were a little busy at times but we found a quieter area and then came back when there weren't as many bigger kids.

This was a very cool museum for kids. I loved that every room had a theme, and everything was hands on for the kids. The pirate ☠️ ship was the best part in my opinion. There was a wait because we were early for the field trip. I do recommend buyings tickets ahead of time. The gift shop had alot of cool neat things.
