The children were allowed to play for about thirty minutes before the birthday party started! I think the adults we're hoping the kids would burn off some energy and become a little bit calm and docile! That's not going to happen! Children have boundless energy and even if they get tired; they recover quickly! I posted a list of the educational play areas offered here. We had a good sized private room for the festivities! After the party the kids ran from play center to play center for about another hour and a half! New Years hats, face mask, top hats and much more were provided for every child and adult in the building! I even grabbed a hat for myself! This is a fantastic place for kids to have their birthday parties and I highly recommend them!

My recent visit to the Spartanburg location was disappointing While I have always enjoyed my…read moremembership at the Greenville location, my experience at this site was unfortunately disappointing. The treatment I received at the front desk was quite upsetting The staff member was rude and made several snarky comments, including negative remarks about the Greenville museum. while the layout is great and I enjoyed the space, there were several issues with upkeep. Many of the exhibits--specifically the trains, the cars, and the turtle operating station--appear old and worn. Additionally, the story nook on the lower level was a mess upon our arrival, and there was a noticeable odor in the building. While I appreciated that the museum was not overcrowded, the lack of cleanliness and the poor staff attitude were significant drawbacks to our visit. Bring your own hand sanitizer as they have hand sanitizing stations they're not refilled or they were not filled when we were there, which is a sign of no upkeep

This is a much smaller location which I like especially nice you have nice kids. I had a coupon…read morefrom Park Hop that said I would get $2 off up to 4 admissions. I gave the girl at the front desk my coupon and she acted like she didn't know what it was. She went to the back to ask and they confirmed that it was indeed legit. I noticed my total was more than expected and I asked her if she took off the coupon. She said she did for one person. I told her it would be for up to 4 people. She told me no. I asked her to check the coupon again and she saw what it said and "huffed" and went back to ask again. I honestly thought it was pretty rude! They have two stories. It's not a ton to do but my kids were entertained. They were more entertained downstairs with the water table more than upstairs. The bathrooms were clean. There were a lot of spots to do pretend play as well. Parking is on the street if you can find one or in the free lot across the street.

Located in the Heritage Green museum area of Greenville, the Upcountry History Museum is the…read moreperfect small city museum. It has well laid out and informative permanent exhibits, giving you a great overview of the history of the region without it being information overload. They have a fairly large theater that plays a film if you're not too interested in walking around the exhibits. It's fairly compact in size, so you can visit both floors quickly if you are in a rush, or take an hour or two depending on your level of interest. They have several rotating special exhibits, which I feel is essential to keeping things fresh and encourages repeat visits. On my visit, I found both the special exhibits on the Avengers and Lady Bird Johnson to be of excellent quality. However, there was a dinosaur exhibit which I felt was of poor quality and not very informative, and it seemed to be more of an area for younger kids to play rather than have visitors learn. They are setting up to have a Looney Toons special exhibit some time in the next year. There is a small gift and cafeteria area with vending machines on premises. They participate in the Bank of America Museums on Us program, providing complimentary visits to cardholders the first full weekend of every month. Overall, I'd rate the Upcountry History Museum a 4.5 stars out of 5 for a small city museum, but happy to round up since I enjoyed my visit and found it vastly superior to the Greenville County Museum of Art a few minutes away.

Very underwhelming, for a city known for tourism this is probably the lamest science center I've…read morebeen to. It's like 3 rooms total, all of them in basically the same space, there's probably a whole like 4 or 5 things for the kids to do that they can probably do within 30 minutes. The admission price should be like $5 for what it's worth. The lady at the front told me there was a bunch of hands on activities for babies and I'd say there was like three. The first room was a tiny room with a virtual earth, that if you touch the screen it says it will move but it doesn't work, everything else in that room is just reading/writing (made for tweens and up) and not very fun or engaging. Then there's a room full of rocks behind glass displays, not very exciting or hands on for kids (even as an adult, I felt like it was boring). There's one little section in the room where the kids can brush sand off rocks, but it was nothing special. The room with the bikes is the coolest room, but it's very small and like I said there's barely anything to do. You can look at different bikes on display, they have like 2 or 3 interactive things you can do to learn about how bikes work which take a minute to do. The there's a tiny jungle gym kind of thing that's sub-par, a water play area that's also sub-par and a sand pit where you can look for fossils which I guess would have been fun if my child was a bit older, but for little ones like mine, there wasn't much. He had a very tiny section in the corner he could play with and then he got bored. I guess I'm a bit spoiled because we live in the Triad and we have 3 of the best children's museums. It's guess it's a good thing to do to kill time if you literally have nothing else to do with your kids in Asheville but if I knew what it would be like I probably wouldn't do it again.
