Great for kids of all ages
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/06/09
I took my daughter (5 yrs old) and a few of her friends here for a play date... and they loved it! I agree with some of the past reviews. The employees are not the greatest, but the kids don't notice and have a great time! They could use a few more items in the "Doctors' Office" and the "Camping" area, but it was still a fun afternoon!!!
 
 
 
 
 
Great activity for young children
By Margerie, 11/06/08
My 2 and 3 year old loved the musuem. We stayed there for at least 3 hours and the entrance fee was reasonnable ($5.50 per person). There is a mini grocery store, mini bank with an ATM machine, a mini kitchen, some water games outside, etc. There is also a nice cafe with healthy food where you can eat inside or outside, We will go back for sure.

fun but activities often are late
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/01/08
The McKenna Children's Museum is nice for kids, is very modern with plenty of hands-on exhibits even though overall it is kind of small. The Museum offers some other activities but getting the workers to start on time is often like pulling teeth, they are often late or will just skip their scheduled activity altogether, which is surprisingly unprofessional considering how modern the museum seems. It is still fun for the younger kids even if the Art or Garden Times are missed.

We had fun...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/01/07
It's a great place but I have to say compared to other Children's museums it needs a little work...there are some great exhibits but not enough to play with...like the camping set up...there's a tent and canoe what about a fishing pole, some food to cook, camping gear? There are some really unusual exhibits like the screens where you stay and it looks like butterflies are landing on you, there's a place to put your picture in a newspaper article, a bank machine that toy money comes out of it! The water table outside is AWESOME and my son loved painting the car outside. I would recommend it...my son had a blast. I just felt it was lacking some effort.

Very Nice
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/24/07
It was very nice and clean there. The workers were nice and always had a smile. My child enjoyed it so much she didn't want to leave. Me and my husband even had fun playing there to. Fun for adults and kids.

Loved it!!!
By Wendy, 01/20/07
At first I didn't think my 11 month old son would have anything to do in there...but I was amazed at how creative they got with this one! His own section....we LOVED it...cant wait to go back!

We are becoming members!
By Stacey, 05/26/06
Loved everything! I have a 5 yr. old and a two yr. old. We were there for four hours and I still had to drag them out! What a great experience. Very hands on. Very kid friendly...I know sounds crazy it is a children's museum after all but I have been to some that weren't all that great. I am very excited to have this new addition to my local choices!
