Bring money for Parking!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/11/06
My family visited the museum on 9/10/06. We had a wondeful time. It was the last day of the Temporary Exhibit on Japan, and we really wanted to see that. We weren't disappointed. There is plenty for kids of all ages to do...even a toddler playroom for the littlest members of the family! There are exhibit rooms for art, music, inventions, dinosaurs, and more!) The cafe there is very inexpensive, and the gift shop offers trinkets and toys in all price-ranges from .35 cents on up. Two small notes: Even if you pre-purchase your tickets, you will have to wait in line to get your wristbands at the front counter. It wasn't a big deal for us, but the family behind us, who had also pre-purchased tickets nearly had a meltdown at the thought of having to wait a few minutes in line. Also, parking is located across the street in a large parking lot, and you will have to pay for this. This is not mentioned anywhere in the Creative Discovery Museum website, and it caught many families off-guard. Many were caught without cash and had to put this charge on their charge card. It took us 4 hours to get through the museum, and we paid $7.00 in parking. Overall, a wonderful time, though! Great for families and very easy to get to!
