Our two-year-olds loved the ball pit (it is a bit dirty). There are big building blocks, a play couch, video games, large Lincoln Logs, and a large Tetris. 10/10 for the kids and the collection itself is so cool. A passion project of one man, the toy collection is extensive. The owner is very kind. I was having trouble with my Groupon and he honored it even though it was giving me trouble. We will be back for sure.

So many cool things to see! What a hidden gem for anyone looking for a blast from the past!read more

Very romantic, very beautiful and intimate. A 60 minute show that you can even join along and sing. Program selection was Jill Scott, Maxwell, Sza and more. We were on the last row but when I say.... It wasn't a bad seat in the house. The view and angles for everything. The museum is open to all whom purchased tickets before and after the concert. Drinks and refreshments are served as well. They advise you to wait for photographs and videos at the end. And if you are late by any chance... they do have you wait on the side to not interrupt the artist.

Not only were the rooms incredibly impressive and beautiful, the girls loved reading about The Moody Family and seeing all of the artifacts. They loved The Mardi Gras Ball Gown Display and The Dossier was so nice and knowledgeable, we loved hearing her stories and her facts about the house. After the tour my daughters had so many questions and they said they were so happy that the house was still there and that they allowed people to tour the home.

The whole program went from about 1 to 3:30 or 4. It started off with a tour through time explaining how folks lived life back in the day, and letting the kids experience old timey PE games and exercises. It ended with a real lesson in the Old School complete with old ink pens, inkwells, primer books, soap stone and slate boards. Highly recommend for the 6-12 year old crowd.

It is one of those places that can easily be a one and done. There is discounted weekday price starting at $19 for kids 3-12. Something tells me the $19 is if you buy it in advance. Meaning, not the day of. I paid $25 for the kids and $29 for myself online. The photo opps are what you make of it. Like for instance I've been to places where you press a button and the confetti drops down. For this, you have to actually throw the confetti up yourself. Good luck trying to figure this out with kids if you're looking for a good photo. They were also a bit underwhelmed with it. They loved the music room, the light bright room, and the balloon room. The goodies. It was cute. I'm trying bit to give the whole experience away if you are interested in going. It is best to pay for the ice cream online as it is a bit cheaper but not by much. Those cones were cute and delicious. I purchased the photo package. It really isn't necessary as you get to download the photos from a QR code you use when snapping the pics. There is a small parking lot near to it. If you wait for the group before you to leave then you can get a spot without an issue.

Pricing for the museum is $24. There are several garages in the area to park at and parking is charged a hourly rate. Unfortunately I was short on time but was able to visit the Frida collection, Aztec civilization, and Islamic Art collections. All of the art work was unique. The Frida collection was extremely popular and that's where most of the museums visitors spent their time. Overall I really enjoyed my experience here and wish I had more time to explore. They do have several dining options at the museum including a Michelin star French restaurant, Le Jardinier. The menu looks great and looks like they had a lunch 2 course option there for $45.
