What a delightful little hands-on museum! There is a lot to do for young kids, including a separate area for crawlers, a big water table where kids can put in tiles to redirect the water, boats to play on, a little lighthouse with dress-up clothes and kitchen stuff, and a new magnetic wall where kids can make a "trail" with...

Good for a rainy day with kids or grandkids but you need to create the "fun" with what's available. We went this last summer and it was a bit "worn and tired" and we were disappointed that some activities weren't working. (Especially for the entry fee.) Maybe they are making upgrades.

We went Sept 1/ 2011. Thought it would be great for my 2 small girls. The woman took my money and we walked in and thought where is the rest of the place! Went around the corner 4 of the 6 displays were not working. My 3yr old said after 5 min lets go Daddy Dont waste your $$

My family and I were so excited to visit this children's museum since Traverse City is so beautiful. What a disappointment! Definitely not worth the money. None of the interactive stations worked and everything just looks run-down. They should not have been charging money if the stations were not working but thats not likely to happen.

Took my 4 children (ages 8, 5, 3, 1) to the museum on a hot day and loved the 2 1/2 hours we stayed and played! The water table was a huge hit, the openness of the place was great to keep an eye on them all, and I learned a few things myself! Some may say the price is... More

Our family went to the museum 2yr old and 5 yr old the price is expensive considering how much there is to do. Our boys had a great time, their favorite thing was the river scene on the floor they tried to catch the fish. The water table was fun and so was the house. Would be a great to... More

Our children are young (1 & 3) so they really aren't much into the "science" thing yet, but we thought this would be a good place to take them to play as it was too cold to hit any of the playscapes or the beach. We spent about 2 hours there, my husband thought it was a bit pricey ($6... More

There's lots of fun stuff to do for a smaller children's museum. We were pleasantly surprised that Traverse City even had a hands-on museum. The girls and I played at the water table for a long time. Our youngest loved playing dress-up in the lighthouse. Close to town and free parking made it easy to get there. Both girls want... More

A good attempt to have a scientific type of experience for the kids. the previous review of the WET water cycle is bunk. the kids dont get wet and the water cycle experience is inpenetrable to a child, it is not very well doen, being a big hampster tube with a slide and some thunder and rain type decorations. the...
