Ummmm it's not worth the price... but I'f you do pay the appauling price and come on a day where there is a special event or more than 50% of the things are working you might have a decent time for an hour or so. Your children may just have more fun splashing around in the fountain at Paramus Park... more

Let me start off with the positive, my daughter enjoyed herself but I got a bit tired following her around with my bottle of Purel in hand. This is a place that has a good concept but a terrible execution and run down facility. It needs severe updating. Attendants should be at every station cleaning up and guiding the kids... more

It was disgusting place. The bathroom was appaluing. The exhibits looked like if you touched them you would most likely pick up a fungus of some sort. My child is three and was bored out of her mind because nothing worked and all the toys they had were broken. The admission for any child of 1 years old is the... more

For kids under 7 there are many hours of fun if your child likes to use their imagination.Pizza Parlor and grocery store areas were favorites. The girls loved with the pretend kitchen, bedroom and the doll babies. If your children must have automated, flashy computerized game time, they wont be impressed, but for imaginative kids, its heaven....lots for boys too. more

I was shocked to see this place got any positive reviews at all! It's pretty dirty and all the exhibits are old rundown and tired. I MIGHT MIGHT MIGHT be able to over look this if the admission wasn't so much, I really felt like I had been ripped off AND i got in with a BOGO coupon! It not... more

My daughter loves this place and is perfect for kids under 5, however......couple of things...this place is great when they are have special occasions such as Halloween or Princess themes and such, on these days with the price of admission you make a craft which is included (expect crowding) and get treats....the thing I dont like is the fact you... more

I went with my two nieces, 2 and 6 and they had a great time! They had something for both of them. The museum kept them entertained and the staff was helpful and engaging with the kids. I like that they had programs for the kids. We went to the fairy tale skit where the girls got to have a... more

My wife went shopping with friends while I took our kids (ages 4 and 6) here. Some of the exhibits were showing signs of age, but most were great and really entertaining-- the kids were thrilled. We spent 2 1/2 hours there, my daugher must have tried on a dozen different costumes (my son loved the firetruck). I actually played... more

We hadn't been to the museum for a couple of years and were pleasantly suprised by how fresh it looked and how much our kids enjoyed it. Jonah, our 4 year old loved this virtual reality soccer game , and a new neat driving game with a giant TV. Sarah, our 2 yr old loved this giant colored light box... more

We attended a 4 year olds' great birthday party here. Lots of fun for little ones-- they liked the fire engine, the dress up in the castle, and the little grocery store especially. Plan to spend at least two hours~ bring your camera! Their website is njcm.com. more
