SPARK, Children's Museum

We love SPARK! Our 21 month old runs into the place like she owns it. So many fun activities and lots of learning by exploring! The membership is great - we got the one where we can get discounts at other children’s museums for when we travel. We do wish there were more evening hours 🌈

Fun experience for kids 1.5+. If your kid can’t walk they probably won’t have much fun. It’s a bit expensive for a family of 4 it’s $48. Adults should be half the price or maybe 3 and under half price. To have kids and adults be the same price is a little aggressive. We spent about 2 hours it was fun I liked the food area and my kids liked the blower for scarves.

Pros: they have added a lot and there are a bunch of fun stuff to do with kids from ages 1 to 8 They have many sensory accommodations including a more quiet room to color As a breastfeeding mom their lactation room is absolutely amazing!!!!!!! I mean seriously they thought of everything. A rocking chair. A table. A place to put your pump and plug it in. A dimmer switch. Books there for older children to read if they're with you. It also serves as a cool down room. 10/10. There is something to do for all kids even babies my 7 month old loves the cushion area with a mirror I can sit in a safe area with him and watch him interact with shapes and everything. The mirror tunnel is amazing too. The golf balls are interesting and for older kids I think they can really help teach them about physics. The giant light bright is my son's favorite and a much needed amazing addition to the museum! Cons: they are only open till 5:00 p.m. even on weekends plus they have a lunch break from 12-1pm. It makes it nearly impossible for any working mom to make it there on a weekday. $9 a person is very steep especially when you're paying for parents, it really doesn't make any sense as I need to be there to watch my kid. A family of 5 needs to pay 45$ 😬. Unless I'm allowed to climb the helix I think it's silly for parents to pay to watch their child. Yes they have a membership but honestly they need more affordable options. Honestly it is amazing, but I wish Rochester had more affordable and open places to play this isn't the museums fault but I wish they could consider the fact they are really all we have for indoor play.

Very fun, especially for my 3 yo grandson! We were there for about 2 hours, left for lunch, and came back for another hour. He liked it a lot! Tip - on Tuesdays grandparents are free!!

My 2-year-old REALLY loved it here. Be warned: if you have a toddler, you're going to have a very hard time taking them out of this place, because they have so much fun. Lots of other kids there from 1 to around 6 or so, plenty of activities to do. A bit spendy - $9 per adult and $9 for each kid above like 1 year old - but the membership plan makes it WELL worth it if you plan on going often (your kids will love it) - memberships cost $100. This means for our family (mom, dad, toddler), we make the membership worth it after just 4 visits. With membership you basically get in for free. Itf you have a kid of suitable age it is DEFINITELY worth it. My son now loves to watch videos I took of him playing there, and after our visit there for a couple of hours, he fell asleep tonight like magic. Makes for a great day.
