Fun with a purpose. The checking was very easy and the staff is very gracious, kind, and efficient. I did learn that I needed to bring my water bottles from home instead of paying $3.50 for a drink from the event's snack zone. Parking is free, great and there is a lot of it available. Everyone is friendly. I will play with the children next time we come. It looks like fun to me.

This was one of the most uncomfortable and unprofessional experiences I've ever had at a family…read morevenue. The facility was filthy and clearly neglected: * No soap in the dispensers * Toilet paper scattered all over the bathroom floors * A completely broken changing table that made it impossible to safely change a baby For a place marketed toward families and children, this is unacceptable. What made the situation far worse was the behavior of the Operations Director, Logan Lortz. When I brought up concerns about the condition of the bathroom, he openly told me he "didn't care." During our entire visit, he instead followed me and my children around the facility for well over an hour, obsessively watching and policing every little thing my kids did to the point that it became deeply uncomfortable and concerning. Instead of addressing legitimate sanitation and safety concerns, management chose intimidation and harassment. We ended up leaving early and canceling our membership because the environment felt hostile, unprofessional, and completely not family-friendly. Parents should seriously reconsider before bringing their children here.

Wow, what an incredible playland for my toddler! There's so much to keep the kids entertained…read moremultiple bouncy houses with slides, a wide variety of arcade games, and a massive main play area filled with obstacle courses, slides, and not one but two ball pits. It's perfect for kids of all ages, and I really appreciate that adults can join their little ones in the jungle style play structure. My only issue is the snack bar pricing. A regular bag of chips and a soda cost around $3, and a single pizza runs $25. Honestly, they'd be better off grabbing a few Costco pizzas and selling them at a more reasonable price it would make a lot more sense for families on a budget.

The whole museum is interactive. There is a grocery store with fake food and checkouts. A train area with a tunnel and toys . There were science exhibits. There is a really cool race track in the circus area. My niece loved the dry erase marker art area and the blocks . We spent a good 2.5 hours! So much to see and do. We ended the day at the play area that had a cute bubble area next to it. Place was clean. I appreciated the hand sanitizer stations. Overall we had a wonderful experience at the Children's Museum in Portsmouth!

Although the owner was closing up after a birthday party, he still took the time to show me around and talk to me about his establishment. He takes so much pride in this place, as it is kept up beautifully. I finally got around to bringing my kids here to play, and they had so much fun. They switch the layout around often so the kids can find new ways to play and have fun. There is an area for parents to sit down while you let your kids get their energies out. They also close late in the summer, which is fantastic.

You get full view of the pool to the left of the entrance and then the welcome/reception desk and even a peek at the indoor court. The membership signup was a breeze, the staff was helpful. Flyers of class schedule, pool and gym schedule and other locations are all available by the bulletin stand where you take schedule printouts. I cannot wait to start my early morning classes!

I ended up parking near the basketball courts. There were many people at the park but there was still lots of available parking around. I saw people playing basketball, soccer, kites, football, etc. I was surprised they had a horse shoe court that looked like they could have a tournament as there were so many lanes. I walked through the park at first, walked to the dog park, then the pond, then circled back to the forest playground, which was huge! If my kids were little they would have loved this place! They had a stage that could have a small outdoor concert. After checking out the kids' playground, I went for a full walk around the park and realized there were 9-11 memorials, military gold star family memorials, and other patriotic displays along with huge flag in the middle of the park. There were areas to have picnics, exercise areas, and lots of open space for pets and kids and any outdoor activities. There were two bathroom areas at opposite sides of the park. One near the kids playground and the other near the skate park. I did about 1.5 loops around the park before leaving. I didn't like that there were people smoking weed in their cars and the smell was pretty strong. But overall the park is nice and perfect for family outings and a day out in the sunshine.
