a week agoLots to do! They did have construction on the 2nd floor but this place is massive and my kids loved it. We took a 7, 5 and 2 year old. They all had a blast! Lots of hands on activity’s, slides, and art activities. This was also educational for kids. We will be back soon!

5 months agoDeceptively large and full of dozens of interactive exhibits for kids to play with. The Magic House will easily keep a kid entertained for hours. Both indoor and some outdoor activities to choose from. We didn't even get to everything during our visit and will be back. Surprisingly, the cafe is very reasonably priced so you can also plan on eating/snacking here. Parking can be tough on a busy day.

2 months agoCoolest children’s museum ever! Our 18 month old was in heaven. We went right when the opened on a Sunday, it was utter chaos. Go on a weekday if you can! We still were able to get to everything, it just took some time with so many kids running everywhere. Plan to stay for a few hours, this place is MASSIVE. We are visiting from MI, I hope we get to come back one day!

2 months agoIt is a perfect place for go with your kids. Recommend to go early so you can actually see everything arrow we when arrow 2:30 and it closed at 5 so we couldn’t see the 3 floor. Just on the second floor is arrow 2 rooms (1- is about supper heroes a lot of manual activities 2- is a science part, bubbles part and a big city with super market , mechanic shop, maths, veterinary hospital and more) first floor is 4 rooms (1- exterior building, 2- reading rooms with 4 popular books and they respective rooms, 3- backstage room 4- theatre room) third floor was about Argentina 🇦🇷 really impressive

2 months agoThe Magic House is an absolute must with kids of all ages. They have an infant room for the littles, and big kids will enjoy the how and whys of the science/art behind the exhibits. I have been with my children as a family, I have been on several kindergarten field trips, and most recently attended a Cub Scout Camp in. There is definitely something for everyone. Expect to spend a good part of your day here if you want to experience everything. There are messy areas so probably don't wear your Sunday best. Pros: friendly staff, large walking areas, accessible walkways/doors/elevators, fun for all ages, sensory friendly Cons: although there is an outside area to eat, the eating commons are very small inside. I have always brought a lunch, left it in the car, and ate at the picnic area. There are also many places nearby.
