we absolutely LOVED this museum! Plan on being there ALL DAY... and maybe go back the next day. It is thoughtfully layed out and interactive for a great range of kiddos. Our two age 3 and 8 had a BLAST-- so did my husband and I. Great value, educational and plain old FUN!

It's been reopened for about 5 years now. It gets better everytime I visit with my kids. It was great even when it was downtown off Arch St. Keep it going.
