I have taken my son dre many times since moving to erie. he loves this place and I love it for kids myself. it is the best feeling ever and very well put together. indoor and outdoor fun. thank you so much to the staff who do a good job
We had a lot of fun here. Nice array of activities for younger children. Well be back and id recommend for anyone.
Not open during the week. They didnt update their website or Google. Only open a few hours on the weekend. Specific times too. I know it yo be a good place though.
This place was absolutely awesome if you have a child under 5 it is a must stop if you are within an hour. Not only did it have all kinds of cool interactive things that he was allowed to not only touch but he could do whatever he wanted with them. Its 3 floors jampacked with fun for the kids, and a safe enviroment where you dont have to worry about what they touch because they are supposed to touch it. Ive got to say his favorite part was the second floor there they have a stage and a whole bunch little costumes to dress up in and kind of like a mini town with a Wegmans a bank a doctors office at a train station and he literally played for three hours with a bunch of other kids just pretending it was amazing 5 * experience a must go
My kids absolutely love this place! It is great for them to explore, create and use their imagination. Everything is hands on and really keeps kids entertained and engaged in playing.
Cute fun place for little kids. Not so great during the covid 19 pandemic though. Especially on a week day. My son is 7 and he is just a little past the time when this stuff is going to fun I woukdnt bring a kid older than 6 if I had a do over. It would be great for toddler/preschool age though. There are hardly any kids at all to play with though due to the pandemic. The staff here is super nice and helpful and theyre on the ball when it comes to keeping everything picked up and wiped down too.
Beautiful place to visit. Kids will love to play
From the moment we walked in, there was lots for the kids to do. There are hooks for coats and the staff is helpful in rearranging items after the kids are done playing. The displays are interactive and the kids learn without realizing that they are learning. I will certainly be revisiting with my 4 year old.
Nice place. Kids will love the play
We were there for a birthday party and the kids, ages 5,6&7 all had a wonderful time. The pizza was tasty and the kids enjoyed the gift bags that the museum provided. This was our first experience there and it was a positive one. We will definitely return here again.
Not the greatest children’s museum, but they’re trying! The gift shop is equipped with cheap toys. There are a lot of cool features such as the water play area, the little Wegman’s, and the cave, but the other parts aren’t well taken care of. The bottom floor where the arts and crafts are had no paint, dried up markers, etc. There was hardly anything to “create” with as nothing was restocked. There were some Legos and a giant connect four game. It’s hardly considered a museum, albeit the sparse informative placards sporadically placed throughout, but maybe a hands on activity center.
I love bringing my children here! Nice layout and lots to discover. The classes and activities are always fun!
This place was AWESOME, I had so much fun with my grandkids & daughter!! There are four levels & so much for the kids to do, I would definitely recommend this to people
This is a great little place to spend some time with the kids on a rainy day. My granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed herself. They have crafts, interactive science exhibits and an outdoor area. My granddaughter really enjoyed the mini grocery store complete with shopping carts and checkouts. The price was also very reasonable!
This place is really fantastic for kids! So many ways to learn, play, build, and explore! It’s clean and engaging - and the outdoor area is my favorite (especially on a lovely day!) The memberships are the best value. Great way to spend hours with kids (notably little kids.)
This Museum is great. We took our 2.5yr old daughter here and she loved it. There a lots of activities. You can easily spend 2-3 hrs here. We will definitely be back
A wonderful childrens museum that is 3 floors with everything from water play, trains, pretend play in a small town (including a Wegmans which is the best play grocery you could imagine), science experiment type stations and an area for arts and crafts. My have visits a lot of childrens museums and we were both very entertained and impressed! More than enough to keep our 3 year old fully engaged for a couple of hours.
Good moment shared with our son!
I’ve taken my son here twice and had a great time both visits. There are three floors with activities for varying ages. We went when my son was about 13 months and again when he was almost 20 months, and he was able to enjoy different activities each time.It’s also very reasonably priced.
Love this place! Fun, safe, and affordable. My daughter loves it here and gets educational recreation time as well as socialization which is imperative for an only child.
My 2.5 years old had a blast with all the different stations. The museum over all was clean. They also had a sensory processing disorder backpack with a weight blanket, timer, earmuffs and other helpful SPD toys. You have to leave your drivers license if you borrow the backpack. Another plus is that if youre Military you and your family enters free of charge. THAnk you!
This place is amazing. My kids had so much fun. Highly recommended it for toddlers
This place is AWESOME! my niece had so much fun and theres even a place for younger kids is to play
My grandson had fabulous day
Great place for young children and families. Wonderfully creative and easy learning for children really go hand and hand here. If you live in erie, really recommend a membership for families!
So much fun for little kiddos. I love the Wegmans part! Super cute!
We visited from out of town on a rainy day and had a wonderful time! Jam-packed with very thoughtful exhibits that really appealed to all in our family. The kid-sized Wegmans was a huge hit with adults & kids alike. The play food is hilariously over-the-top realistic. There was so much to do here, the space is utilized very well. Truly fun for all ages.
Our kids had such a fun time! Ages 9, 6, & 1... Even adults have fun or relax while the kids play.
Have been here many times, starting when my oldest was about 2. Last week with just my youngest son who is 9. He couldnt remember coming here so its been awhile, but he saw the Wegmans display, he remembered that! We stayed almost 2 hours, so there was plenty to keep him occupied. Id have to say that the water table on the main floor has always been our favorite exhibit. This was our first time seeing the new outdoor garden and that was really nice, too! Hope to visit again!
My daughter loves it there. Amazing place for kids. We get a membership every year.
Amazing place for kids. 3 levels of fun activities. They loved it!
Fun for kids and adults. Good way to teach your kids different things. Also good way to learn different things yourself.
Really excellent. Its a relatively smalluseum, but not crowded and very well setup. The professions display are the jewel, with the best play shopping experience Ive seen. They have musical instruments, outdoor painting, bricks, tunnels and sides. Our 3yr old loved it
Great family fun which should only get better after they expand. A great community asset.
My 1.5 Year Old Had a Great Time(mostly)She loved the entrance floor, the outside classroom area, but most of all the top floor. The basement was technically in her age range but she didnt much care for it. She came alive when we got into the top floor and she could watch the train, play in the grocery store, and shoot the colored balls up the tube exhibit.
We LOVE the Erie Childrens Museum. They have activities for a variety of ages. The basement floor is geared toward younger kids and tends to be a bit calmer. Its a great place to go and hang out with the kids on a wintery Erie day. We have a membership and use it a bunch. Also there are baby and toddler classes!
Nice little gem in Erie if you have little ones. Nice breakfast with santa event.
Visited Erie, PA with my 4 year old granddaughter in July, 2018. The Childrens Museum was wonderful. There were so many activities for her to do spread over 3 floors. It kept her busy for over 2 hours and she would have stayed longer if we had more time. This place is perfect for kids up to about 8 years old. Well be back in Erie in August and will definitely return.
A very nice play space at a reasonable price! We all agreed that we liked it as well or better than the one in Pittsburgh at a fraction of the price. Good work!
Our kids (4 years & 2 years) loved the childrens museum! The pretend grocery store and pizza shop were their favorite! There are three floors of play and lots to do!
Lots for the kids to explore and play with. Well worth the trip to Erie for us. The grocery shopping area is definitely favorite among a lot of kids, and gets crowded. Plenty of activities for everyone to explore and play. The outdoor area is super cute.
We love this place! 3 floors of fun and an outdoor play area. Love how they have changed things up from time to time
This is a perfect fit for children and adults alike. We love this place.
One of Eries lesser known treasures, this little museum has plenty of activities for the younger crowd. Three levels of fun plus an outdoor music and book garden will keep you and yours entertained for several hours. Youll enjoy all the learning and fun on offer and the cost wont turn you away at the door either.
The water table was particularly cool. I probably had more fun with it than the kids.
Visited with my 1 year old on a VERY busy day, looked like a field trip from a local school. Staff and facility were very nice. The museum has 3 levels of activities with activities for all age groups. Lowest level had activities for younger children including a padded area for them to play in.
This is a great educational place for small children! My grandchildren visit often. They were excited to show me all of the fun things. Even the not quite one year old had fun.
Staff is friendly and the whole place is a great place to have kids explore. They love it.
Lots of fun activity. Not too crowded. Kids had a blast!
Always a great time.i cant get my daughter to leave
Great place to take younger kids. Comparing it to Strong museum of play is the only reason rating is not higher.If I had been here 1st maybe it would rate higher.Lots of neat interaction for all ages.
Great way to spend the afternoon with your kids! Good for a wide range of ages as well.
I came to the museum for my granddaughters birthday party. Lots of fun for the kids, kept the parents occupied, too! We brought our own snack and cupcakes, had pizza delivered. Great place for a party. Lots of educational things for kids to do!
My son had a blast. Great and friendly staff. I just feel like their isnt as much to do. We were there during the week so it wasnt busy. But on some of the floors if you had more then ten kids their it would be a mad house.
Granddaughter was there for a birthday party me and grandson really enjoyed time while she was at the party Lots to do very Educational
Weve been here twice now, and had a great time both times! Much cheaper than the Pittsburgh Childrens Museum, but still full of fun things to do. You can easily spend a few hours here exploring and doing all the activities. We havent been there in good weather yet to check out the outside area, but were hoping to do that this year!
Ive loved this place since I was a kid and getting to take a kid there as an adult is still just as exciting! There are countless fun, interactive, and informational things for kids to do. Theres even an outdoor section with different flower beds, musical instruments like kettle drums and giant metal and wooden xylophones, building blocks and more!The price for admission is also not bad at all, $15 as an adult and you can stay as long as you want. Vending machines towards the main entrance and there are lavatories designed for children as well. (If youre an adult, I suggest not using them as theyre pretty low to the ground!)If youre looking for something to do on a rainy day or just in the area, its absolutely worth checking out!
Hours of fun and so much learning to be had. We had almost as much fun as the munchkin did. We received a membership as a birthday gift for our daughter and it was one of my favorite gifts we got.Edit..We have now been members for a few years and love it! The princes tea parties are great though a bit crazy. The certified outdoor classroom is really cool too. We love that they are always adding more.
Awesome place for kids. The bottle rocket experimeny is brilliant.
Many hands on activity centers entertaining for our 5 year old.
The kids loved it and I even enjoyed this place we will definitely be back and if you have a green access card its only charges you $2 a person to get in just a little secret I just learned
Military family admission is free during certain times of the year. Very clean. Sensory accomodating. Will return in the future and would recommend to others.
Very nice place for kids. Clean and bright with friendly staff. Also reasonably priced in comparison to some other childrens museums.
Very enjoyable, my son is just under 2 and loved it. Lots of fun activities that encourage imaginative play. Plenty of sights and interactive exhibits to keep kids of all ages occupied for hours and hours.
Great place for the kids, can spend hours there despite the medium size. We were there 3 hours and my daughter wanted to stay longer. We bought a membership and I expect that the visits will get shorter, but it is a great indoor alternative for some play time when the weather dictates your day.
Experience Childrens Museum in Erie is a great place to spend a few hours with your little one/s. They have multiple levels of activities which range from toddler to pre-teen. There are additional fun environmental facts to take in as well. If I lived there, I would definitely have a membership for our family.
My kids had the best time ever here

This is great place to go its great place to take your kids to play plenty of things for kids to do several different things to play with learning experience physics you name it the kids just love it prices are very decent. Lots of souvenirs you can get I would suggest as place for anybody that has kids.
Way to noisy upstairs. Staff told us to stop playing with the water experiment and it was sad.
Good price. Very clean and well organized
Its OK, very small all the toys and hands on items look like they need cleaned better.
Had a great time with the family
Terrific place for kids to explore!! Highly recommend!
A fun little childrens museum. There were lots of different stations for the kids to check out. My 1yr old niece and 3yr old nephew had a blast.
Mostly for young children my son was 8 didnt feel like there was much to do. Some things need updated and replaced/repaired
Very nice experience for our grandson. He enjoyed all the displays.
This place was super cute! I recommend it to anyone in the Erie area with young kids.
Took our kids and nephews here. It is three levels and an outdoor experience. The kids favorite was the upper level where they could play make believe in different real life stations like a doctors office, Wegmans, pizza shop and more.
So easy for 2 or 3 hours to go by in the blink of an eye! My son loves the trains the best :)
Such a good time. Kids loved the grocery store and pizza shop.
First visit to Childrens museum and we had a good time. Kids 1.5, 2, and 4 had lots of fun and plenty of activities to do.
Great for children. Plenty to keep all ages busy.
Great place to spend a rainy afternoon with the kids.
Amazing museum with lots of fun stuff for all ages! Will absolutely be back and would recommend!!
I enjoyed my visit and love how my child can have real world experiences at 5am. He loves the bank grocery store and pizza place.. We will be going monthly.
Old converted building. Nicely set up. Geared toward kids 7 and under Id say.
Nice place, well set up with a lot for kids to do. Worth the price
A really amazing attraction for younger children, museum offers many activities and experiences. Check out their summer programs.
My grandkids love going and the New Years balloon drop a must to experience!!
Great and fun place for little ones. Not very big so plan to spend about 2-3 hours.
Great place to take young children. 3 floors of fun including a birthday party area that can be reserved for kid parties.
Wonderful place for the kids to play and learn
Great price and a TON to do!
Pretty nice place. Stimulating activities for children.
Its amazing even 12 year olds have so much fun you will expect a 12 year old to be bored but no this is for all ages even those even seniors its amazing so playful and creative adventurous
What a great place for the kids! Erie is very lucky to have such a nice place!
Interactive and immersive experience for children!
