Such a fun time playing at the mobile Flip Museum this past weekend at Frog Pond. My kids loved running their own food cart. After about 30 minutes of playing we finally were able to get them to leave. We found the Flip Mobile on our way out of the pumpkin patch. They loved switching jobs, all the food options, play money, mixing up the menu, and play area. read more

Tip- parking is available behind the building Ilt's a bit away from Portland but the space was great for my little one's 4th birthday party. Party rate was a flat rate for two hours and not a pay per child model like other places. I appreciate the blending of play with technology; dressing up and seeing onself in different backgrounds given the green stream and scanning dinosaur drawings into a landscape. I hope this museum continues to grow and have more for older kids to play, explore and learn. The bathroom situation- a single which requires a code, is a bit lacking. read more

We drove an hour to get here. I checked the website before going to make sure they would be open because we know a lot of play places are closed on the weekends for parties. They said open and nothing on their social media pages indicating anything different. Now we have to deal with a toddler who doesn't understand why we just drove all that way who was so excited just to turn back around. We also tried calling before we left for another verification, no answer and no hours left on the voicemail to indicate a closure. It's really not that difficult to keep your hours correct on your website. read more

The Flip Museum - Children's Museums Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

My grandson so enjoys his visits to the museum. Between the train track table and the enovative dress -up green screen stage, he is engaged and entertained for hours. I really appeciate how the space is divided into activity rooms - Arts and crafts, technology and building and open play - leaving room for the the kids to find their space and their adults to help when needed. The museum listens to feed back and makes changes to the setting and supports when needed. I note some negative reviews here and wonder what space they visited because this has not been my expereince. read more

We visited over spring break and had a good time! From what I understand, they currently are doing a "soft opening" so there are not quite as many exhibits as they hope to have when completed and they have discounted pricing to reflect that. We paid $13 for my todder and myself to play for 3hrs of play time, which I thought was both ample and fair. The main space has some really fun big play items like blocks/tiles large enough to build play houses with, a scarf launcher, a car racing ramp and then a stage with green screen so you can see yourself on TV. There were also loads of costume choices and we spent a great deal of time trying them all on. There is a second smaller room with a light table and some art stations. After you color your picture, you can scan it into a scene up on the white board and watch your creation move around. Very unique and fun, I don't think we've ever seen this before at an indoor playspace! There is no food or drink for purchase on site (that I saw) but they do have a table and some chairs set up in the hallway so you can bring a snack from home. There was a good amount of free parking behind the museum that can be hard to find the first time you visit but easy to exit and memorable enough to where it likely won't difficult to locate for repeat visits. Overall, this was a fun and unique space and I look forward to seeing the new exhibits they add in the future. read more

My son loved it here especially the segment where he "made videos" and got to put on a show :)

Flip Museum grosses me out. I thought a long time before writing this review as I dislike publishing negative reviews but for some reason my life has taken me to Flip a few times this year and each time I'm left asking myself how this place is in business. The first time I was there for a kids bday party which happens in the hallway??? Who wants a birthday party in the hallway of a building next to a bathroom? Flip was overpacked with people, kids, and strollers and I felt dangerous to be in the space. The next time I was there it was for just a play date meetup so it wasn't as busy (thank goodness!) but I noticed that lots of kids were playing with the same hats and clothes etc yet none were being cleaned. Maybe you're not afraid of lice and ringworm etc but as I've dealt with it before I live in constant fear. I asked the staff what the cleaning and sanitizing situation was and got a blank look. So that's a no on keeping items that kids use and touch clean...got it. Then there was this weekend and what finally has me writing this review. I walked in and the mob of unattended kids running around the hallway was unreal. It was like a tiny human rave! Maybe it was extra crazy because a child went missing and was found locked in the bathroom but with my previous experience it could just be the regular weekend crowd. Regardless I've told my friends I will not be going here again. read more

What an amazing experience for my daughter's 3rd birthday. The toddlers had a BLAST and the parents were able to enjoy themselves with all the amenities needed. They provided a table that I set in the hallway where I placed balloons and snacks. Again, what a treat! And the kids had a BLAST. The dress up, dancing and etc. Two pro tips: 1. There is parking lot in the back. The alleyway next to flip will take you to their parking. 2. Bring a speaker for some music, should you wish. Honestly, we would have only needed it in the beginning while the kids arrived. After that, the noise from the kids laughing and playing is music enough. Worth doing! Fabulous experience. read more

My nibblings absolutely love The Flip Museum! They always have a total blast and are so excited to go back! Love this place! read more

So many fun options for kids of all ages. Even the adults were having fun! The price was an awesome perk as well. I feel like now a days I'm paying $25+ per kid to do anything so it was a nice surprise to only pay only $8 per child. read more

Highly recommend for kids 1-10, something for all. Creative activities, building, and sensory room. Lots of open space and easy to monitor kids while also giving them space. read more

Brand new space in the area. Really great for the kids and will be even more awesome when they expand into the additional rooms in the building. The plans they have are really exciting. read more

The Flip Museum has been a life saver for our family this summer. We have taken our two young kids twice now and they literally ask every day when they can go back. It is an affordable and fun alternative to screens and empty entertainment. The spaces are clean and the activities are thoughtfully designed for kids of all ages. This place is such a wonderful addition to our neighborhood and has filled a huge void left by the closing of the Portland Children's Museum. We will definitely be back and can't wait to see them grow. Bravo, Flip! read more

Took my nephew there last week. We had a lot of fun. A much-needed children's museum in the Portland area!

FLIP is unsafe, understaffed, and in a terrible location. I gave it time hoping things would improve, but it's only gotten worse. Birthday parties happen in an open, unmonitored public hallway. Kids can easily slip away, especially with the media room off to the side. The doors to the street aren't watched. Parents had to take shifts making sure kids didn't wander outside or up the stairs. But we weren't allowed to block the doors because people from other businesses walk through the party to get by. This setup is completely inappropriate for a children's place. It needs to be in a standalone space with a secure entrance. We won't be back, someone's going to get seriously hurt. read more

So thankful FLIP museum is in Hillsboro, it's filling the void left by the Children's Museum! The space has a lot for kids to interactive with from your standard slide to a camera that projects their imaginary play to a 3D scanner in a quiet/low sensory area. We hosted a birthday party here and it was a blast! Everything start to finish was seamless! Communication from staff is top notch, the kindness of the team to both my guests and my vendors was very much appreciated. We will be back many times because who doesn't love a good community space that caters to children's imagination? Don't hesitate to visit and or book your birthday party here! read more

How fun! A welcome addition to the neighborhood and a clear labor of love. When it comes to things to do with kiddos, the more the merrier! I'm especially glad places like this exist after losing the children's museum! Big thanks to the owners read more

There's potential. My 6yo had a great time, but was extremely fixated on the scanning an animal drawing room. There's not a lot to do here yet (just two rooms of toys and activities) and it was a long drive from the SW PDX suburbs. If you have a kid that's bored easily, this probably won't hold their attention for more than an hour at best. The bathroom situation was also not great for families and there's no table to change infants/young toddlers. I'd like to see it in its final form. read more

My son just had the best time at Flip this AM. He was so zoned in on the green screen room! The person running Flip was super kind and helpful too. I'm impressed with Flip and I can't wait to see what they do with the other spaces they have!!! Very happy my family has a children's museum to go to again! read more

We are thrilled to have a children's museum in the neighborhood. It is one of my kiddo's favorite places. It is fun and playful while being packed with learning and experimentation. The first time we went, my 4 year old got to build a toothbrush robot and it blew her mind. The place is up and coming but you can tell a lot of thought has gone into it and the people running it are sincerely trying to build something amazing for kids. They are always adding new activities which keeps it fresh for the kids every time. It's also hands down my kid's favorite summer camp this year. She loves the variety of activities and the fact that it is not overly structured but has a good balance of structure and the freedom to explore. read more

We loved it! We had a great time, and my kids especially loved animating dinosaurs in the animation room and drawing with the black light (and they loved the snacks!)! Can't wait to come back! read more

I love this place for my grandkids! Creative, fun, and engaging play. Thank you Flip Museum

My daughter loved it! Cant wait to go back and do again with my son and daughter. Was able to go by max

My family loves Flip! We've gone to their mobile museums and loved those too! We stopped by their soft opening yesterday and I can already tell this organization takes children's learning and fun seriously! Their new exhibits just absolutely lit my daughter's brain on fire! She was ecstatic and all smiles the whole time! So happy we have a Children's Museum in our neighborhood now!!!!!!! read more
