Jim, the fabulous museum educator, is an absolute treasure! His wisdom and gentle sense of humor is worth ten times the cost of admission.

Not a lot of money to get in and kids have lots to do. Definitely worth the admission price. Our kids are 8 and 11 they had hours of fun. I see some say it is dated but kids will LOVE it. Interactive, and the little town area is adorable. A car garage, fire station, hair salon, cafe , ambulance, airport, hotel, phone booth, music studio, etc. kids have a lot to do. For 2 kids and 2 adults it was around $30. Worth it! read more

This was an excellent place to bring a 5 yr old today for a few hours. I think that he would have stayed all day if he could. Very interactive and much larger inside than I expected. I highly recommend making this a stop while in Marquette. read more

Cute place! We needed something to do and the museum came highly recommended. My daughter loved the hair salon play area and the kitchen and spent most of her time in there! We like fart jokes so we like one particular area. My only issue was the bigger kids were running around and there were many littles who could have gotten knocked down. That's not the museums fault, just the lack of parental supervision. Otherwise a great visit and would come back again. $18 for three people and an all day pass wasn't too expensive. read more

Upper Peninsula Children's Museum - Children's Museums Near Me - Marquette, Michigan

What a cute spot! Such a crazy creative children's museum with a mesmerizing train display, live reptiles for kids to marvel at and (supervised) touch, plus areas to explore and climb! Pricing was reasonable, $32 for a family of 4. There was plenty for my young toddlers to do and an hour and a half flew by. We could've been there for hours more, and with their in and out policy, we would have come back if other plans did not preclude us. The staff was helpful and friendly, and looking to chat with people about the different areas of the museum. Only downside? Some areas were maybe a bit stinky and could use some additional cleaning. Otherwise, a solid children's museum we will definitely return to! read more

5 year old daughter loved it. Make sure to buy your tickets online!!! I realized my mistake 10 min away and had to wait for the next 2 hour window. We stayed 1.5 hours. They require masks, and take temps at the door. The place is very dated but the kids LOVE IT! There were snakes, turtles, pigeons, a plane, shopping areas paino, play ground where you get flushed down a toilet, see inside a head, climb inside intestines.. model trains, play restaurant, shopping carts, craft area with tons of supplies including a hot glue gun, large legos, small cafe... would come again read more

Best kid museum ever and I've seen some good ones. Endless areas of real world discovery. Too many to list but the crawl through tunnel of the human digestive tract with its poop slide at the end was a HUGE hit. Even has a sound effect button at the end, you guessed it...farts. Second biggest hit was the Weather channel broadcast booth with green screen background and live tv monitors. Grocery store, mining pit, airplane with control tower...... Plan for a long outing. Shares a patio with Marquette Baking Co. so coffee and pastries right there read more

Great children's museum. Could spend hours here, did spend hours here. Grab a cup of coffee from the bakery next door and play all day. It was me and my 4yo son and admission was $12. The pass was good all day if we wanted to go back. We're not from here, just visiting. It was nice to find something to do with kids indoors on a drizzly day. read more

See all

This is by far the best children's museum we have ever been to. It's so whimsical and engaging. Perfect place for parents and kids to play together. We have made so many wonderful memories here. The staff are so kind and helpful. Every wall is covered in beautiful murals. The kids thought this was the best part of our trip by far. read more

Probably the coolest, most interactive Children's museum we've ever been to. The kids could spend an entire day here, and still miss things to do. Reptile "petting" zoo inisde, tons of interactive play areas, and just things to do. A review or pictures just don't do justice. If. You have children, and need something to keep them occupied, you really won't go wrong by bringing them here. We got thanked by our 11 year old son, which should tell any parent just how cool this place is! read more

Interactive displays and interesting play area. We took a 3 year old and a 9 year old and both stayed entertained the whole time. The turtles and reptiles were fun and staff was nice. Great activity for a rainy vacation day. read more

This museum was awesome! Tons of exhibits for the kids to play and learn in. The live turtles were great fun. They have the mouse of an airplane where kids can get in and pretend to be pilots. Digging exhibits with dozens of rock samples. There's a tree house, a massively large toilet that also possess as a slide. .. disturbing and fun. There is a stomach slide. .. seriously. Electric city to learn about electricity money and other urban environment elements. There are Lego tales, coloring, food and grocery exhibits. Loads of fun! read more

Went to this on our family vacation, taking a day out of our trip to go here. Was told it was the best one in the state, however after going to it and Sandcastle's in Ludington, I would not waste my time on this one again. There were some inappropriate displays in this museum for children grade-school and below (explaining the pregnancy stages in great detail). No staff moving about to monitor areas, stations were cluttered and dirty. read more

This place is a great find for kids (Big and Small) they have two stories of interacting, imagination prompting fun! This is a great place for a rainy day or when the kids are getting a bit restless.They also do Birthdays here! read more
