Beautiful place! My kids loved it, and so did I. I even forgot the diapers in my car, but what a surprise: they had free wipes and diapers under the baby changing table. Everything was clean and everyone was kind. The snack area is big, and you can bring your own food too. We’re excited to come back soon!

Very reasonably priced, several exhibits/stations, friendly staff 🥰 The museum is t huge by any means, but it had enough exhibits/stations that my 6 year old and 4 year old boys were both entertained the whole time.

We were on a trip to Philadelphia, and it took about 45 min to get to New Hope with traffic and all. Not bad! The scenery was pretty, too, once you got off the interstate.

I’d recommend purchasing tickets in advance. We had tickets for the 10:00 hour, and when we arrived there was already a sign indicating the morning blocks were already booked! The timed slots made it nicer so that it wasn’t insanely crowded either.

Parking isn’t free, but you can park in the lot and pay to park. $3.45 for 90 minutes — not bad at all!

Overall, a great way to spend time with the kids on vacation, especially on a rainy day ☺️

The children museum was very fun for my children. They enjoyed the time they spent there. I would love to bring them back again very clean and well organized.

If you are in the area or not too far from it, don’t hesitate to take your children there I know they will love it!

This place was absolutely amazing!!! The adults and kids (4 year olds and 11 month old) had a great time!! We were discussing our favorite parts and the list just kept going on and on! It’s very clean and I love the signs around to help keep it that way! The kids were a little more happy here than the aquarium because it is so interactive! They limit guests, so the amount of kids for the space was very nice. We stayed for 2 hours and could have stayed longer with how much fun we were having. We ordered the tickets the night before, so there was not wait to get in. You can give gift certificates for the place as a great kid birthday present too.

Disappointed Experience – Needs Better Communication

I was really looking forward to our visit today, but unfortunately, our experience was pretty disappointing.

We drove nearly 1,5h to visit the museum with our kids, and the biggest issue we ran into was parking. We parked on a side of the street where there were no visible signs indicating it was paid parking. The only sign was buried deep inside overgrown bushes—completely obscured unless you’re looking straight at it, which we weren’t (therefore pics). We ended up with a parking ticket, which was frustrating.

When we entered, I let the front desk staff know it had been a while since our last visit and asked if there was anything we needed to know. While she pointed out a few things inside the museum, she didn’t mention anything about paid parking. I later saw there’s a small sign at the register about parking, but it’s easy to miss, especially when you’re checking in with 3 kids.

Adding to the confusion, Google says the museum closes at 3 PM, but the door sign says 4 PM. Then, at 3 PM, staff announced that the restrooms were closed (not even 10min warning). Closing the bathrooms an hour before the facility closes—especially at a children’s museum—is honestly baffling. For families with toddlers or kids in potty training, that’s a big inconvenience.

When I asked about the parking ticket at the front desk, I was told that it’s mentioned online when buying tickets—which I didn’t do, since I bought ours in person. Again, this points to a larger issue: lack of clear, consistent communication.

I understand that I could have been more observant, and I’m not blaming everything on the museum, but a little better signage and clearer staff communication would have gone a long way. It felt like the burden was entirely on us to figure everything out, even after specifically asking for guidance.

Really disappointed with the visit overall. I hope the museum takes this as constructive feedback and improves the experience for other families in the future.

Had my sons 5th birthday party at the museum this weekend, and I couldn't recommend it more! We had about 24 kids, and we had the entire place to ourselves. There was so much to do, and the kids loved having free rein of the place. The different rooms/stations kept the kids entertained (who ranged in age from 1 - 6). We had pizzas delivered, and the party hostess set everything up in the party room, making it easy on us. All of the parents had positive feedback and everyone had a great time! I was also extremely impressed with how clean it was! It was so nice to have a worry free party, where both parents and kids could enjoy! Thank you for making my son's birthday so special!
