Down to the restroom with the tiny tiny toilets for the littles! Lol! Love the fact there's kid friendly washing stations through the museum making it easy for the kids. The indoor treehouse has cameras on the outside so parents can keep an eye on the littles while they are in the treehouse which is awesome! The entire time we were there I saw workers tidy up and sanitize and clean the whole time so that is reassuring! Like the indoor didn't impress me enough.. when we went outside.. I was mind blown at how much is outside and how even cuter it is! They had balance bikes with helmet and a track for kiddos, fishing, building, learning to milk a cow, dinosaurs, farmers market, and so much more! Also, kid friend height table and benches perfect for snacking and breaks. Is to note there isn't any food or drinks available for purchase at the museum but we were able to bring our snacks. Price point was so affordable especially for the experience and what they offer for the kids. We will definitely recommend this place and would highly likely return!

This museum is amazing. Tucked away in the historic China Alley, it is a solid presentation of…read morewhat life was like for the Chinese immigrants who lived in that time. Starting out on the farms and railroads to running local herb shops, groceries, and laundromats - not to mention the gambling halls - the Chinese fully took advantage of the limited employment opportunities available to them, a characteristic of the segregated and exclusionary practices minorities faced at those times. The Chinese were pivotal in the success of the Central Valley towns during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Debbie and Larry, the docents, have a wealth of information to share and I couldn't have asked for a better tour! The museum, the temple upstairs, and the China Alley itself. On top of that, because I wasn't able to make it to the museum during normal opening hours (one saturday each month), they accommodated me with a private tour - all I had to do was call in advance! As far as I'm aware, the tours are free, but a donation is highly suggested. This is crucial history and every effort to preserve it needs to be made.

We spent about 3 or so hours playing & exploring. It's really meant for younger ages,probably up until about 10-11. My son is going to be 11 next week & loved it because he loves dinosaurs, digging & science. Not sure i would go out of my way to go back, only because we don't live locally but if we lived in fresno I would consider getting a membership. They have a lot of great programs throughout the week which would be great for school field trips or homeschooling co-ops.

Came here once for my nephews birthday and haven't been back since, so it's been a while and I kind of forgot this place exists. You can get your tickets online, I happen to check at the right time because their prices and affordable on every first Saturdays of the month! The lady working was super friendly and helpful, she even told me they do music classes and that the kids are more than welcome to join. Around 11am they have a person doing a science presentation but unfortunately she was running late on her project and I overheard her being kind of rude and not in a good mood so we decided to move on to the next room. They were also selling boba and eggrolls outside, sorry I forget the name of the seller that had their booth there. The kids enjoyed the front area where they can dress up, draw and play with toys. There was also someone selling their 3D printed animals, which the kids loved so I caved and bought them all one plus help support small businesses. Overall it was a nice experience for the kids to enjoy.
