    Cute little museum for kids! My daughter (15 months) really enjoyed interacting with the various…read moreexhibits. For $15 I think it is an affordable excursion, there are a few rooms to do crafts/color and four open exhibits to play and learn in. The staff was kind and the museum was relatively clean for what it's worth. The one thing that really rubbed me the wrong way was the "nursing room" aka the bathroom. There is a pink plastic dirty chair in the corner of the bathroom and they call that a "nursing room". For a place geared towards children this is disheartening to see. They should either have an actual room, separate from the bathroom, or no dedicated space at all.

    Cute children's museum with varying exhibits great for younger children. Great little stop to spend…read more2 hours indoors. Pros: - My daughter loved the Arts & Crafts, Pirate Ship Playground, Space Floor, Make-Your-Avatar and Horseshoe Crabstations. - Affordable at $14 per person. Cons: - No Wi-Fi, most of the space has little to no T-Mobile Data. My husband paid to work inside the Cafe but left because there was no WiFi. When I asked for a refund the receptionist gave me a hard time :( - Gift Shop and Cafe are basic/minimal and could be a LOT better - The Bias exhibit, which took up a lot of space, was boring and un-engaging - The fish tank was dirty and smelly, felt bad for the fish - Overall the decor and finishes feel outdated, could use a technology update!

    (Update) Recently, I visited the Morris museum to view the new Jo- El Lopez (Digital Divine)…read moreexhibit and the new immersive exhibit of "Perennial Land". Jo-El Lopez's art focuses on the layered commentary on family, spirituality, and community. The artist features the color purple in each of pictures. The Immersive exhibit is low keyed, compared to many other immersive exhibits in the NY area. Despite being low-keyed, it's highly impressive! The exhibit combines beautifully flowing landscapes and human's impact on nature. Run time is about approx.15 mins. This viewing room has several benches for excellent 360° viewing. The Digital Divine exhibit runs from 10/3/25 - 2/8/26 The Immersive exhibit runs from 11/7/25 - 4/5/26. The museum has a large parking area. Check out the Morris Museum soon. Think you'll enjoy it!

The parking lot isn't the biggest, but I do appreciate the on-site free parking. I check their calendar of events at least bi-monthly for upcoming exhibitions and/or music events, especially during summer. It's a quiet space and I enjoy roaming the exhibits at a leisurely stroll to really take it all in.

    Not an expert on these types of expos but had a great time.

Kiddo loved the "Scoop on poop" exhibit - small but educational and fun. 4 stars only because I think $20 entry per person (or $18 if you buy online) including for kids over 3, is a bit much considering you're going in order to buy things and spend money. Would still recommend but could be an expensive day for a large family. You should at least let kids go free up to 12 or something.

    Wow. What a unique, random gem and historic property. What is Fonthill and why is there a castle in…read moreDoylestown, Pennsylvania? Fonthill Castle was the home of archeologist and tile maker Henry Chapman Mercer. (Also in Doylestown are two more Mercer buildings you can tour - the Mercer Museum and the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works building, the business Mercer ran and where most of the tiles in the castle were produced.) Henry Mercer seems like he was an interesting guy, and you can see that in his home - 44 rooms, 18 fireplaces, 200 windows, who knows how many staircases...! And designed and decorated in a way I've never seen anywhere else. The castle is an early example of poured-in-place concrete building and is a mix of Medieval, Gothic, and Byzantine architectural styles. And there are, of course, Moravia tiles (and some historic and international tiles that he collected during his life) throughout the house - almost more than you could imagine. We visited last Saturday to experience their "Fonthill Castle Holiday Lights Meander Experience," which allows you to visit the castle through a self-guided experience (there were staff in various rooms who were happy to answer questions) and enjoy a series of Christmas trees on display throughout the home. I definitely enjoyed the experience but am definitely planning a return visit to see the castle in better light (not at night in the dark - which was perfect for the Christmas tree experience) - they offer 60-minute guided tours though the house for most of the year! The castle is pretty wild, and I look forward to visiting it again and experiencing it in a new way. If you are interested in architecture, art, crafts, the Arts and Crafts design movement, or just quirky, unusual places, definitely add Fonthill to your list and check it out!

    Amazing property, it is a hidden gem. Went with my family for the tour and everyone enjoyed it!read more

    Can you tell which are statues?…read more Years ago I went to Grounds For Sculpture, a 42 acre outdoor and indoor art exhibit with gorgeous gardens and every type of art you can learn and imagine. My boys were too young to appreciate it back then. This time we did it differently. Prior to going, we did a lesson on different types of art. We created slides to help teach us different types of art. I have included the slides so you can share these to your kids as an art lesson. While we were at the Grounds For Sculpture, I have to tell you... the way the Realism Art, Pop Art, and Abstract Impression Art Blended with its natural surroundings, my eyes began to play tricks on me! For a split second, regular people sitting on a bench looked like statues too! It's very well done! This place creates a dream like state. Go to the Meadow section first! It's a lot of walking so don't go on a hot day. #groundsforsculpture #nj #art

    This may sound overly exuberant, but I love this place!…read more Founded in 1992 by J. Seward Johnson (a Johnson & Johnson heir) his goal was to build a contemporary sculpture garden for the public to enjoy. The property was initially the site of the Jersey fairgrounds and later the Trenton Speedway. (It's so peaceful and lovely here, it's hard to imagine the raucous noise of racecars.) We signed up for a walking tour -- free with the price of admission -- which runs for about an hour. In addition, friendly docents walking around the grounds stopped to chat offering great information -- even some juicy gossip! Be sure to pull up the app on your phone which we found helpful. The garden is closed Tuesday. One of the sites said admission is timed, but mid-week we were able to simply show up. Note that veterans and seniors pay reduced admission. Parking is free and there's a restaurant/coffee shop in the welcome center that's an inviting place to refuel. The photos I snapped are the garden's realistic representations, but there's a whole host of contemporary sculpture, all very different with their own stories.
