Second Tuesday of every month is free admission. Its full of fun things to do. My kids had a blast- kind of reminded me of the Seattle science center. Lots of educational play, dentist office with a moving dentist chair, grocery store with food and register, deli with kitchen, counter, and tables to wait, chicken coop you can climb into including play chickens and eggs, a real truck with working lights, a real tug boat you can get into, a sand room, Thomas train area, huge foam blocks to build a fortress, wooden climbing play areas. An area with little four wheeled castor bikes for kids to ride. The list goes on! Several bathrooms, throughout the building. Its a good time! Clean, family friendly, impressed!!

Coming in from out of town and we needed something fun for kiddo to do while we wasted some time. Pretty decent amount of things to do but it got very crowded. In other playgrounds weve been to like this theres been a pretty decent delineation for specific age groups. Less so in this one though there may be some difference once it moves. I liked seeing the science of some of the activities but there were mostly things just posted on the wall which isnt much use to kids who cant read. Some activity suggestions or even image pictures of the principles might be a good start.

They recently moved and remodeled and it is amazing! Lots of light, new features and things for kids to do physically, artistically and psychologically. We recently went on a busy Saturday and even with so many people, the kids all had things to do without feeling crowded; the layout was spacious and had a good flow. Really impressed with the thought and time put in to this museum, the price is right too!

My toddler had a blast here! Its good for kids of all ages. There is so much to do and learn about! We adults also had a great time playing giant checkers and relaxing on the comfy couches while the kids burned energy!

Plenty of structures and activities for children. Easy access to all of the fun things to do and easy to keep children in line of sight. Art tables, dress up area, science, fishing and more!

This museum has lots of interactive things for kids. There is a doctor office dentist office which I thought was great so those wouldnt be scary. They had a boat and a big truck to explore. There were sensory rooms and kids put put in plays. It is also peanut free. So kids with allergies can safely go too.

As a visitation supervisor I have been here many times with different families and kids if different ages. There is a lot of variety and kids who are easily bored can return repeatedly and not be bored focusing on certain areas each time. Wonderful place!

There were many great activities for the children to play and learn about. We unfortunately arrived at the end of the day so we didnt have nearly enough time and would love to go back. There were a few things of concern that I noticed though. The one main concern that I had, I took a picture of and had intended to show a staff member but got caught up in rounding up my 2 children who had no intentions of leaving. As an electrician, it is by default curse that I look up and observe other electricians work. I saw a glaring wiring issue over head that concerned me. Now, first and foremost, I have no idea what its to, or if it is even live. But either way, to someone such as myself, it doesnt look good. In all fairness it isnt anywhere close to where anyone would normally be in any danger. But exposed conductors should always be bad practice to any quality electrician. There were other wiring issues I noticed and hope this place gets a better electrician.Overall my family had a fantastic time here. There were so many things to do, in so many random places I had an ADD episode just walking in. Unfortunately my OCD took over and I wasnt able to over look some of the glaring electrical concerns. Most everything I noticed was low voltage, so not a huge concern for most. But just unprofessional for a business. I just hold them to a higher standard because of safety for the children, considering its a place for them to run around and experiment. Otherwise, a great place for kids to learn and have fun doing it.

I dont have children but stopped there to talk to a friend. I was impressed with what they offer. Reasonably priced for A-days worth of play for the children. A small Disneyland for the kids. We had fun with the kids as well.

Great environment with many cool skill building activities with a gift shop and snacks all at a reasonable price. My son loves it here.

Review №15

Wow, how can you rate this place. A giant toy box for the kids. Oh and adults. This place is an excellent stop and place for kiddos to burn some energy if they have any left.

Review №16

Brought my 6 and 7 year old nephews here a couple days ago. Its small but fun! They had a nice art studio, reading area, and a room with building things such as legos, Lincoln logs, other types of toys. The 6 year old loved playing with the animal costumes. The 7 year old enjoyed the art studio and i enjoyed the building room! Fun for the whole family. We stayed for a couple hours

I came here with my daughters preschool, and we were here after hours. We had the place to ourselves, and it was just wonderful. They have SO MUCH to do here, much more than the Everett museum, but with the benefit of being very CLEAN and new-feeling. Their rates are also much better, so if youre halfway between, as I am, choose Burlington.The popular spots with my 2 year old were.... everything, pretty much. The turtles and fish in the aquariums were fascinating. The crane that went up and down was super cool. Shopping on main street was good. The racecars (scooters) were a hit (Ill admit I took one for a spin, too, heehee!). Painting was fun, and there was definitely some co-op pieces, with so many little ones running around.They had a lactation room, which I deeply appreciated, as I had my 9month old in tow, too. The bathroom was very clean, but I only noticed one... hopefully there were more, that I didnt notice! Lots of seating for adults all over, which is convenient. I was entranced by the sand table with had the projector set up to draw topography lines- I could have stayed there for hours. I also enjoyed the GIANT foam building blocks.I did miss a water world. I can speculate on several reasons why they cant have one, and it was unfortunate to miss out.... but there was so much more to do, it was barely missed!I highly recommend this museum to everyone with young kids- maybe up to 12 or 14 years old, even! Theres a lot of replay value here, and so much to do in every visit, youll never get to it all in one trip.

Really great museum! Thought it wouldn’t be super fun since it’s in the mall but it’s really awesome and actually quite big. Lots of fun activities for the kids including painting and my kids favorite the crane. There is always a huge room off to the side where they can fully run and build things too. Awesome museum and good prices!

Review №21

So big and so much fun! I will allow more time when we go back! There were a lot of varied activities and space to roam. The areas are nicely separated to keep track of young ones easily, but my little one wanted to stay there and I was grateful to have another adult to go with my older boy where I couldnt see. Once I did get my young one out of the toddler area, she really enjoyed the rest of the areas!

Review №22

My kids had a lot of fun. Their new space is well laid out and offers a variety of activities for kids of all ages to partake in. They even have a sensory room for kids to relax in, and another a space for them to grab a book and read (or be read to).

A fun interactive layout with plenty of activities for the kids. The hosts are friendly and respectful. The environment is kept tidy and clean. Ive been here with the family a couple times now and I plan to purchase a yearly membership even though we live in a different town quite a bit North. Its worth the drive. Best childrens museum Ive found North of Everett. For a smaller sized childrens museum Id rate it 10/10 and would certainly recommend it to anyone who lives in the area.

Best childrens indoor play area Ive been to. Lots of custom structures for the kids. The crane really works

Review №26

A place where parents go to let their children run wild while they sit on their cell phones. If you watch your child while they are there you will see older unattended children steal toys from them, try to hit them with toys, or push them out of line. Definitely a place we will only visit once.

Staff very helpful, even have diaper available for moms who occasionally forgot to bring extra diaper. Thats definitely a plus. A lot of fun for kids as a play place, adorable train running above your head; like real rock machine to move the blocks; you can be a bus driver, or dentist, I mean, like a real one! Kids would love that! I will definitely recommend this placc, so moms can relax their hands for a few hours. :)

Review №51

Still under renovation... I would have waited till they are fully open so my kids would have more activities to do. Currently its just a section of the museum and a few toys, not what I call enough space for my kids to roam around.There was playmats, foam castle building, custom play, painting center, reading book nook, a game board table and several other activities spread out. A small teether saw for smaller children, heat imprint station and puzzels to solve as well.My boys played for an hour or so and was bored. They wanted to be more things to do and they missed the older location in the mall. Im sure they will not ask me to bring them back

Review №54

My son loves this place but it needs a little maintenance. Last time we were there we noticed some broken exhibits. Also, there were some small parts laying around that wouldnt be good for a toddler to put in his mouth. I would also suggest lower rates for low-income customers (the Everett childrens museum gives discounts for food stamp recipients). Other than that, there is lots to do and my child is never bored when we visit here.
