We've had a great time at Works Museum today. Kids had so much fun. It is just a right place to begin the spring break. Thank you.Visited onWeekdayWait time1 hr+Reservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$11–15
Their remodel is very much focused on field trips/classrooms. That must be where a lot of their income comes from. So much space and exhibits are gone. The size of the museum is drastically decreased for general play. What is there is very engaging and many kids enjoyed it, however, it is not worth the price unless you are going on a field trip.
Drove an hour to the cities to bring our 3 year old here for his birthday. Turns out it's just one big room with toys and a bunch of screaming kids. What a waste of time and money for 2 adults and 1 kid. If you have Legos, conex, magna tiles, blocks or other toys just stay home and play with them or spend the $45 entry fee on new toys. There isn't much to be learned here, it's just a toy room, if you have the money to go here you likely have many of the same toys at home. What more can I say, the wife and I were both very disappointed, go the children's museum instead of you really want to go somewhere beneficial with your child.
This place is really cool and there is a ton of interactive fun science and engineering types of things to do. We did not attend any of the classes well we were there, but had a lot of fun. We spent about an hour and a half here and I don't know if we would have been able to spend more time there unless we went to a class or if you came with multiple children so they could run and play and build together. This place is not huge so don't expect a ton but there are a lot of individual stations you can visit and interact with. 4 stars Because it could use some more stuff to do and see
Because of the renovations that are happening in the building under half of the building is available to explore. But what was there was super fun and we were still able to find things to do for nearly two hours!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$11–15
We expected there to be more to do here, but we were still able to spend 3 hours here. The kids 6 and 9 spent the majority of their time building with large blocks and building race cars. We hoped to build robots or find coding activities. They had a good time, but we don't plant to come back.
Went here on a field trip with elementary aged kids. The kids had fun with the interactive exhibits. The instructors from the museum also did a nice job interacting and teaching the kids. The museum itself is relatively small and there's relatively few exhibits. Parking is plentiful and free.
So much fun for Tech Fest! Exhibitors were knowledgeable, volunteers and staff were super helpful...we love this place!Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
My 3 girls loved it. The displays that are setup are great for kids 10 and under. The station that are available are the right things to keeps kids busy for at least 3 hours. The building is small, but there is a lot of unused space and there could be more interactive displays. There seems to be an excessive amount of classroom space. It is really clean for the number of kids that pass through.
We recently hosted my son's birthday party here and it was a great experience. The kids had plenty to do and were exploring and learning the entire time. We had an activity for the kids where they made their own slime which was a huge hit. It was a casual, worry free environment where the kids could just have fun and learn at the same time.
