Always have something new so every visit is different. They have an amazing miniature train set on second floor. The detail of the Gadsden and several electric trains running at same time, train set up never gets old

My kids have always loved this place! It was a great experience for them every time. Now my youngest with a school field trip and he had a blast

Great staff! There are some vivid issues, but its a use facility. The elevators worked for wheelchair folks, but the escalators were not running. Dont miss the gallery and the train.

Desoto Fiber Guild meets there every 3rd Sat. of month. . .I very seldom miss a meeting! The Center is rad!!!

Great place to take the kids on a rainy day.

Great meal ... Looks like a regular fish market upon entering ... However, the meal (Blackened Mahi) was excellent. Best meal I have had while visiting Gadsden.

Good food service can be a little slow, and sometimes the bartenders dont remember you when you sit at end of bar because they tend to stay at front

I attended a six year old birthday party. The kids had a wonderful time. We were also able to walk around the center. Meeting areas, play areas and learning areas were large, well equipped and inviting.

Awesome place. She had a blast! She didnt want to leave!

The African American history program I enjoyed the various art and music poetry show. 5 star program

The snow exhibit is always so much fun for the kids!

Brought our son here from Birmingham to get out from the city. He really had a good time playing at the center. Also, we were here during Smithsonian day which is free to visit for anyone. Otherwise, its $8 per person. Its not worth for that price because of the size and maintenance of the place but $3 would be reasonable.

Wonderful Imagination place for kids

Great place to visit

Very nice and clean !

Awesome place.

This place is so much fun for children. They can use their imagination in so many ways.

It good for your family and friends to get out and enjoy a nice clean fun place for your kids to have fun .

The kids absolutely loved it! Reasonably priced and plenty of activities to do.

Birthday party fun the day I went! Very much enjoyed it!!

My toddler loves the imagination place and the trains upstairs. Great value for members. Just wish they would start replacing the old toys with newer, cleaner toys.

Wonderful facility

Kids always have a great time, the staff is friendly and its always clean.

Very nice

We love this place! They have such great events! They bring in a great variety of exhibits! The kids love to play here! The staff are friendly and helpful! The snow exhibit in winter is always fun! We just visited Storyland. It was really fun for my toddler and my school aged boys!Sadly, I did notice many areas in need of repair.

Love this place.

Great place to bring your imagination driven kids. My four year old could spend hours playing in thier pretend town. Everything is child proof and child friendly.

Most of the things were pretty old. Not really enough room for the amount of kids that were there

Nice place to visit. They also have a great place for gathering.

Wonderful place to be involved with. My children have taken ballet and music lessons there. The only problem is the parking. The lot can get crowded and you may have a walk a ways. Not good when raining.

A great place to see cool art. They change it up so that things dont stay the same and get dull. They also have a great place for young kids to play, and learn called the imagination place.

Went for insurance meeting

Great place for children to explore!

Great place to take kids.

Fantastic museum for being a small town

Great way for the kids to learn diffrent jobs and things that they might want to do once they get older

Imagination Place was great. But the Let it Snow exhibit was a joke. It was a lot smaller and just nothing to it. Kids were bored with it in about 15 mins

My kids love it here. We have a membership

I really like the staff. They really, seriously need to fix the escalator. That aside. I am glad they are around. They host shows, plays, they have classes occasionally. My kids love the little town play place. As we home school this is a prime resource. However, if theres a birthday party being hosted steer clear. Mad chaos. The staff are actually used to this and are glad to have help cleaning after the flood of unruly children leave.More people need to support this place.

The shining light for Gadsden! A must see, theres something for everyone.

Amazing exhibit for kids. They have interactive book exhibit to help kids learn to read. My grandson loves it. I can read him stories while he runs around and plays with the different book exhibits they have. I enjoy taking my grandson to the different exhibits and also the imagination place there to wher he can burn some energy on cold and wet days.

My kids live the imagine place. I am so glad that they have started adding a little more items and are making sure you upkeep the area.

Loved the play Patsy Cline with Louise.

Nice people nice place

If I could give it a one star i would. Photos are very misleading. We did the whole place in 20 mins. We where all very disappointed.

The children loved it and so did we.

My kids range from 6 to 1 and they all enjoy the experience in different ways

Love that they show off students art work.

Loved it. If you have kids you should go

Great local spot!

My kids love this place. Great place to take when it is raining out.

Great place for events

Very historic and elegant. Little activity it seems on any given time, but for the most part the place overall has always been clean and very spacious. Compliments to the management of this institution.

Have seasonal displays. The rest hasnt changed since the place was opened. The escalator ride to the miniature trains is the standard thing to do. The childrens Imagination Place is tired & could use a good cleaning & refurbishment. The best thing is the restaurant attached to it but Im not reviewing here!

Very overpriced and we have more toys at home to play with.they even charge 8 dollars for adults to get in. Dont waste your money and plan you another trip. The kids was ready to go in 10 minutes.I put a one star cause I couldnt put a negative.

Wonderful

We visited Imagination Place. It is a fun-filled place for children and relaxing atmosphere for the adults.

Great for all ages! Many things for the family including a restaurant inside that is amazing!

Very nice childrens museum

It was a great exp an my 3 year old was amazed she loved it!!!

Absolutely love taking my kiddos here. The Imagination place, is a great place, to let my kids, play freely, while I sit and relax.

Large, quiet, and full of culture, three great things.

What a surprise. Interesting art work and historic model railroad.

It was a great experience I will be sure to keep up with future events.

My children love to visit and get excited about each new exhibit!

Great place to take the kids. Just go on a day they arent busy. Other wise it is complete madness.

Exceptional customer service, play area, conducive and educational activities. Very safe place for the family.

Love the grill chicken an all menus it same . .. I have never had a bad meal ... always good

My nephews birthday was held in the imagination place. It was really nice.

They had some great things for the kids. The snow room and arts and crafts were our highlights

The food was excellent, service sucked & was a lot pricey

They work hard to keep fresh exhibits for the kids and little ones will love the Imagination Place play area that is set up as a small town.

Let It Snow is a fun exhibit for little ones along with the Imagination Place.

What an asset for our city! Art, events, dance, imagination place, exhibits. We attended the most unique yoga class Ive ever.. Buthi Glow Yoga. Mixes Ashtanga, Vinyasa flow + tribal dance and some serious grooves while wearing glow paint under blacklights! You have to try this. SO fun..

I love to go look at the art exhibits that come from time to time and I like going to Cafe 5 for the ribeye steak

Nice place to get out of the rain. And use the restroom.

The Courtyard is a great place to eat. The food is a little pricey but really good.

Great museum and my wife and I got married there last year

Great museum

Great place for the kids. We love it

Good meeting place, great place for kids. Food in the restaurant is great and inexpensive
