kidscommons Columbus’ Community Children's Museum

What a great little kid museum nestled in downtown Columbus. My kids had a blast in the upper levels playing in the giant house maze and the camping/outdoorsy area. There were many other activity assets with blocks, LEGO and other STEM related items. Highly recommend planning ahead. We made reservations so we were some of the first few families to enter via the timeslot. It was not very crowded for the first hour that eat. Staff were friendly and stayed out of your way to let the kids play unless there was an issue. Some of the play areas are definitely kids size only. I got a little claustrophobic in spots helping my littlest kiddo move around inside the house maze. As made famous on the Internet, you can "flush yourself" down a toilet slid and my older kiddo loved that. We went on a cold rainy day and it was a great way to spend the afternoon. Only recommendation might be to add more seating for parents and grandparents, especially in the camping area.

This is a great place to have a family outing. There are activities for toddlers and older kids. I purchased tickets online and the employee was able to locate my tickets in the computer under my last name. The two employees working provided great customer service. All displays, activities, and toys are very educational. It gives parents the opportunity to relax on the benches while watching their children play as well as play with the educational toys with their children. There are playground areas and tons of toys so it is guaranteed there is something for all kids to enjoy. My baby loved the play stove and refrigerator and the bubble room.

Great place for kids and adults. It has 3 floors with activities in every corner. Loved the explorahouse and the bubble area. Your kid would not be disappointed. They also had activities and experiments every hour too like a candy experiment and also a bunny, which was cool.

This place so so cool! Unfortunately I didn’t get many pictures because we were having so much fun!! There is so much to do here. There was no wait to get in, but there is 3 levels of activities to explore. The second and third level is where we chose to spend most of our time. The second level had the most stuff to do I felt like. There was a big tub where you could make bubbles with different things and they had a huge thing that you could make a bubble around yourself. They also had a place where you go inside and there is SO many hidden gems!!! You can play in a little make shift kitchen or go down a giant toilet, every entry way takes you into something different. There was a bookshelf you could go into if you open the secret door at the bottom of it. And you could go inside the wall and look through the eyes of a picture on the wall. There was a rock wall to climb a building, and they also had a super cute Bunny that we got to pet and learn about. The third level was like a camping set up with a hammock, and fireplace and tunnels and rope bridges. There is hidden possums and things around that you can look for and a fake vests and baskets with cooking supplies you can use to pretend. It is most definitely worth checking out if you have never been!! We had so much fun and spent most of our day here!!

We came here with two boys, ages 12 and 10. They breezed past the bulk of the exhibits, with the exception of the bubble room and the giant toilet slide. Big surprise, right? 😆 Honestly, I think they were a bit too old for the place. The place seems geared towards a younger audience... which is wonderful! It just was a bit "meh" for us personally. But, for two kids and two adults, it was only $37 for our three hour block. We weren't mad about it when we left after only an hour. And, the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. Thank you.
