It's a good place for young kids, they will really enjoy it here for a couple of hours and also learn more about science, engineering, emergency services, nature and daily activities near us Like groceries, banking, postal service, farm, construction, vetenery, recycling, News reading and more .. however , I still see more room to improve activities. STEM and magnet areas were not functioning properly. Most of the things were broken, and they can add more activities in STEM. Also, the space center room can be more interesting and interactive for kids.
The museum is small, but has a lot for toddlers. We liked the firetruck, cop car, ambulance, helicopter, etc. The museum had an enclosure for toddlers to run and play around. There is ample parking space.
It was very enjoyable. Grandkids enjoyed it. IT COULD USE A LITTLE UPDATING TO MAKE IT A BIT MORE EXCITING IN CERTAIN AREAS. MAYBE HAVE STAFF MEMBERS JOIN IN IN areas, like have actual puppet plays at certain times, or storytelling in the big chair , and more activities for the kids to make special things with staff people participating. It really could be so much more. It's really a nice place for the kids to run around.
Gave 4 stars because my granddaughter enjoyed herself. That being said, there were a lot of things that weren't working. Interactive animal or vehicle sounds. I bet this place was amazing when it first opened. She loved the water table with the little boats and the vehicles the most. Hand sanitizer dispensers located throughout which was nice to see. Just looked like it needed a handyman to fix stuff. Definitely a lot cooler than the scorching temps outside
