    Disappointed at the staff member who walked from her front desk to the back of the play area bench…read moreto ask a white lady i with her 5 month old son f everything was okay while a black woman with her 18 month old child were sharing a simple conversation of how nice to raise children. My family used to visit this museum and even attended summer camp but this was ridiculous. Why? to the museum, put up your signs if you do not want to serve all families, it is so much more easier for everyone. Please do not apologize or respond to this review you sent your message already.

    We had a blast here with my 5 year old and 2 year old! Initially, I thought it looked a little…read moresmall, but the space just kept going and winding around to other areas to explore. My older son loved the scarf tubes b/c you could change the direction by opening and closing valves. Both kids loved the little town. The building facades were super cute. Each building had a mailbox out front where you could post letters. The post office had bins to sort mail and bags to use to become a mail carrier. The grocery store was stocked amazingly well and kept pretty clean despite tiny hands going in there creating chaos. The outdoor space was vast and filled with things to entertain kids of all different ages. There were tricycles to ride around a track, diggers to sit on, playhouses to facilitate pretend play and musical instruments. There was also a large climbing area with slides and little hidey holes. The price was pretty good considering you get a lot of bang for your buck and you are not restricted with how long you can stay.

    This place has been on my radar for a while, and I'm genuinely kicking myself for not coming…read moresooner. We visited on a Friday afternoon during the school year and it was the perfect day for it, not crowded at all, staff was warm and attentive everywhere you turned, and there was just so much to explore across two floors. As a homeschool mom, I am always on the lookout for places where kids are learning without even realizing it and this delivered completely. My little ones were engaged the entire time, bouncing between exhibits and coming back to do things on repeat. The water table on the second floor was a huge hit (dam building = instant obsession), the crawl-through body exhibit had them giggling the whole way through, and the immersive hall with the giant projector and the orchestra activity where they put their faces into the performers? They talked about that the whole ride home. We timed our visit to catch the 3 o'clock otter feeding and training, definitely worth planning around. Maybe 30 people gathered and it was totally manageable and really sweet to watch. What surprised me most was how engaged I was as an adult. I was genuinely learning things alongside my kids, which is not always the case at these types of places. It felt appropriate and interesting for every age in our group. A few things to know before you go: follow the directions on their website for the specific parking garage , it's about a 5-minute walk and was only $5 for us. Strollers and wagons are totally doable with elevators throughout. They also have a café if you want to make a full day of it, and rotating special exhibits (always check the website ahead of time so you know what's on and whether it fits your crew). We stayed about two and a half hours and left happy. Already thinking about when we're coming back.

    Very overpriced. I feel bad for the large local families who can't get in at all or can't get in to…read morethe "special" exhibit. I have seen every special exhibit and let me tell ya - not worth any extra fee, especially what they charge. But with that said the Da Vinci center is only really worth it for the "special exhibit". It REALLY pays off to become a member even if you think you'll go once a season. Nothing so impressive. No real meaningful selling points. It's just okay. I liked it better when it was on CC. Go on Sundays. It's empty and street parking is free.

    We spontaneously decided to stop in on our way back to the DC area from a weekend in Philadelphia…read more Hours are 10am-5pm Wednesday-Sunday. Parking is free in the lot across the way. Admission is $15 and id say it was reasonable for the 4ish hours we spent. My kids loved the climbing/sliding cocoon that is at the front area upon arrival. The roadway with scooters was unique having never seen that at a children's museum before. The fitness exhibits with basketball and baseball were fun. Those tests at the beginning brought me back to the Presidential Fitness test era (IYKYK). The water play area probably was where we spent the most time, but that's always where we do at museums with a water play area. Another cool feature was the hollowed out redwood tree for climbing. The sections toward the back are designed for the youngest visitors but still have some fun stuff-like a mock farmers market and tire shop- for older kids. While there were no events on this day, it does look like they are listed as they come up on the website. Also, no food sold here (snacks are chips and candy) but there are two places across from the building to eat or you can BYO. While it is a smaller children's museum, it was still nicely done and we would definitely pop in again!

    Great museum and good interactive space for kids ages 3 and up, featuring a variety of activities…read moreincluding water play, a cafe for pretending to buy fruits and vegetables, and dress-up as pirates. Kids can enjoy a reading nook, a mechanic shop, basketball, and pitching speed tests. There's also a mini-golf area on the boardwalk behind the museum. However, the gift shop is small, and the free parking lot is a bit of a walk, especially on hot days.
