  Perfect place for kids to hang out and explore things. Extra clothes needed, if you’re planning on letting your kid play with water.

  We visited this museum during our spring break trip to Charlotte (April 6–11). We mainly chose it for our younger kids, ages 4 and 9, though we also had ages 12 and 15 with us. Parking was easy — the garage was very close to the museum, which was convenient. Unfortunately, the check-in experience was not great. The staff member at the desk (a younger female) appeared disengaged, sitting back in her chair and playing with something in her hand when we approached. When we asked for tickets, she spoke very quietly with little eye contact, and we had to ask her to repeat herself several times. There was also no greeting or welcome. She quoted our party of nine at $172. We had already planned our itinerary and priced everything ahead of time, so the total seemed off. When we asked, she said door prices were higher. We stepped aside and purchased tickets online instead, which came to $144 — a noticeable difference. We’re used to visiting children’s museums like EdVenture that have multiple levels and attractions for a wide range of ages. This museum felt geared mostly toward ages 5 and under. It also seemed unorganized — typical pretend-play setups like a fire truck, restaurant, and grocery store, but items were scattered everywhere. There didn’t seem to be staff resetting areas for the next families, and we only saw one staff member on the floor. There was a second level, but it only had one attraction. Overall, it felt like a lot of money for a small space. Some areas also looked worn and in need of updates. On a positive note, the bathrooms were very clean, which stood out. The highlight for our 4-year-old was the water play area. We spent about 30 minutes total before leaving and ended up getting ice cream elsewhere to make up for the disappointment. Based on our experience, we wouldn’t recommend it.

  Very nice children's museum. Many activities and cool areas for your little ones to enjoy. I do recommend going when they first open it gets crazy busy in the afternoon. They offer $3 tickets if you have an ebt/snap benefits card. Tickets can be purchased beforehand but you'll still have to wait in line to receive your wristband. You can bring in snack foods but no other outside food. There is a small area for eating. They have stroller parking area. They also have a bin for recycled cardboard, paper, etc donations for the crafting area. Be prepared to stay for at 3 hours it gives the kiddos enough time to explore and play everything at least twice. Last thing they offer cool science shows and story time.
