Our guy is 20 months old and had the best time running around and discovering everything. He especially loved the little make-believe town and playing with all the different interactive elements but the water tables were the clear favorite! He could've stayed there forever. Such a fun, engaging experience for kids and parents alike. We can't wait to go back and explore even more next time! PS they supply aprons and water boots in the water table room! Super convenient. I suggest bringing a change of clothes or some PJS to change your little one into in case they get soaked!

My kids are 2 and 5 and they had a blast. My partner and I typically love kids museums, but we didn't enjoy this one. We went on a Monday around 3 and it was packed. As an educator I really appreciated how exhibits were super low floor and high ceiling so kids of a large age range could all enjoy, but as a mom of littles it was dangerous and overwhelming. There were so many kids sprinting around unsupervised which was a safety issue for my little ones. They got pushed around a lot, many kids were hoarding all the balls or pieces for certain exhibits. The amount of running was pretty dangerous especially for my almost 2 year old. I liked that they had indoor and outdoor exhibits. They had a car repair shop, water play, air driven scarf and ball mazes, fish feeding (for a cost), a play ground, a climbing gym, a ropes course, a cafe, a gift shop, mazes and brain games, and many other exhibits. They had a variety of locations to park strollers. There were steps and elevators. The bags they put the fish food in were way too flimsy. Both broke on my kids and we were scrambling trying to hold the food and pick it up off the ground. It was nice that they have free parking and don't make you exit through the gift shop.

However, other times our kids are pretty deflated because there are hardly any, and those that are there all look the same or are well out of reach. It's still fun to check out, but only if you have the pass to all the attractions. I wouldn't pay to just visit this one

I was given a tour by Paul who has an amazing amount of local knowledge stored in his memory, and he's happy to share it. The museum is located in a wheelchair-accessible house and every room covers a different aspect of life in days gone by. They also offer research options for those who might have ancestors from that area as I do. If you live in the Salt Lake area and haven't visited here, gather up your kids and stop by. (Psst, there's also a huge play structure at the City park within a stone's throw of the museum.) The wonderful people who staff the museum are ready and willing to show you whatever bits of history you're most interested in! And if you go, please give my regards to my 4x great grandmother, Phoebe Draper, whose picture hangs on the wall.
