awesome time
By veronica, 07/18/09
I have always wanted to take my neice and nephew to the childrens museum and with a little help from a great person Mary ellen, I finally got that chance, they had the best time ever and I am so greatful to Mary ellen. It's the best Hands on museum for children and lets face adults to. We will be back, im sure we missed something and they want to go back and do it all over again, this time we will get there early.

Sorry disagree
By Christina, 03/28/09
This place was a joke! Paid almost $30 for parking and tickets for two adults and and a 3 yr old! The place was crowded and half of the play pieces to the exhibits were missing, it just seems like a whole bunch of junk thrown in a place for kids to play with!!!!!!!!!

Very cool place to Learn and have fun
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/27/08
Even my15 yr old loved the moneyville exhibit. Money from different countries, the stock market, and lemonade stand. The rest of the museum was amazing. We spent 3 hours there but could have spent the day. I thought for $5 it would be $5 worth of fun. Was I wrong; it was worth $20 per kid!. The activities are packed and the kids never stop moving, having fun and learning. There eare MANY staff available for questions and help. I wish I lived in Houston. We'd be there all the time

Great Experience
By Jedi Journeyman, 07/05/08
Our first time there with the kids, even though there were alot of people, it didn't feel crowded. Everything in the museum can be touched, which is good if your a 3 yr old. Will go back again.

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/10/08
This place is Probabaly the best Place for kids ages 3-8 to learn and apreciate. Trust me on this. There food isn't the greatest... but don't think about not going, pack your own lunch. I hope i convinced you to go cause it is one of the greatest place for kids just an FYI

visited with my 14 month old son
By Leta, 10/18/07
Because my son is only 14 months old he was not able to appreciate the large majority of things the museum had to offer but the toddler play area was totally worth it! They have a huge area just for the little guys with all kinds of stimulating toys, and at only $5 to get in for me and my son being free it was perfect! Parking is $5 too though.
