Cute museum tucked away in a quaint downtown location. We came here on a whim and of course had to drag the kids away when it was time to go. A wide variety of activities were available so the kids can play until its time for you to peel them away. Highly interactive and wonderfully themed exhibits made this a score for our family!!

Everyone enjoyed themselves, so cool, for all ages! Definitely coming back ;)

Wow this place had so many things to do. We got through everything in two hours with a quick play for each section but could have easily spent the whole day here. Such creative ideas for the kids to use their imagination, creativity and problem solving skills.

We loved everything about this museum! Such a perfect place for children of all ages. Our toddler had the best time exploring and playing with all the exhibits. The exhibits are fun for kids of many developmental levels as there are many ways to play. We hope to have time to visit again before our vacation ends. It’s also very affordable and offers lower prices for SNAP EBT families and you can come and go for an entire day.

Our grandkids ages 4 and 8 loved it! If you take the time to do the activities, you could spend hours here. However, the fee is minimal so if you only have an hour, youll get your moneys worth.As a teacher, I especially appreciated the hands on activities. For example, my 8 year old grandson and I built an electrical circuit and were able to see that it had to be closed to work the doorbell. The 4 year old loved feeling the fur of many animals as she looked at a picture of it. Both enjoyed the art and building blocks centers. There were sections to pretend like being a dentist with life size chair, a real ambulance with equipment, and a real airplane fuselage with pilot seat. A favorite of many kids I saw there was tubing with an air current that carried scarves in many directions. The path could be changed by participants.

So impressed with this childrens museum. I have been to quite a few from MA to Pgh and this is by far my favorite. We asked for a family membership for Christmas and my girls (1.5 and 6) love it! We were there for 2 hours and barely did half of it. I was also surprised for a holiday weekend that it wasnt crowded. Parking was close and easy to find. The exhibits were clean and literally had something for kids 8 months to 9 years old. We will be taking full advantage of our membership this year.

This place is spectacular my son had a blast. Even though where a lot of children it did not feel crowded because it was so large. we had free admission because it was from 4 to 7 PM the first Friday of the month we came to check it out. did not disappoint the exhibits were endless theaters make up an ambulance a dentist area where kids could brush teeth blocks airplanes hammocks all kinds of stuff. my only issue would be the parking it is a bit challenging you to find street parking because it is downtown. highly recommend and we will be going back

We loved our visit. Were visiting the area and drove about 35 minutes to visit the museum with our almost two year old. So worth it! The play areas are clean, fun, and thoughtfully put together. Great for the very young kids too- some things will be too old for them of course, but the toddler areas, art room, and most of the play areas are great for a wide age range. You should definitely go!

Went in August 2019 to get away from some less than ideal weather. So impressed. It manages to find the oh-so-hard-to-hit sweet spot that encompasses fun and learning. My 9 year old and 7 year old girls loved it.

I love this museum because it is local and the children stay really involved and interested in exploring different things. It is air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter. Even the adults can engage in the activities with the children.

Enjoyed taking our 3 year old grandson here for today. He had an amazing time playing with other children and showing me around the museum. A lot of interesting things to see and do. Will bring him back again.

If youve got young kids, this place is worth so much more than the modest entry fee. Two floors of fun and the kids can touch everything and no one will say no. We only gave ourselves 1.5 hours, but you should plan for much longer. Our 18 month grandson was in heaven!

Awesome adventure for younger children. Hands on learning and fun. Multi floored many different areas of educational entertainment. Inexpensive and discounts available. A hidden gem found while vacationing.

Kids had a blast. They have sanitizer stations, great for the environment. Fun!

100% awesome. Well worth the 7 dollar admission. Even better I got lucky to pass by on the free friday from 4pm to 7pm. There are 2 floors, smaller than other museums but from what Ive seen the quality of the activities available is much better than most museums Ive been to. Theres also a makerspace for kids 8+. Althought the majority of the place is aimed at younger kids, the makerspace alone is worth the trip for the older kids.

Amazing place to take kids for indoor fun! Lots of activities and reasonable prices.

Amazing place for kids to run around and play! From small infants to 13 year olds. They even will give you discounts if your a low income family. Saves a lot of money!

We LOVE this awesome little museum. Great price for at least 4-6 hours of non stop fun. Fun for all ages and requires them to use their imagination. There are restaurants nearby but I wish they had a dining facility inside. Otherwise this place is perfect in every way!!!

A lot of great areas for all ages. Our toddlers had a blast (ages 1 and 2) our 4 year old niece did as well. Very clean.

Great safe place to take kids all ages to play. There are lots of activities down stairs for younger kids and when you get up stairs they have rooms for older kids that have a lot of building and designing for them to do. You can also book parties and rent the whole place out.

This was by far the best childrens museum I have taken my daughter to. It was highly interactive and a areas like the ambulance and kitchen were so unique and well thought out. Perfect for a toddler or older child!

OK, Im biased. I served on their board a few years back. This place is one of the best resources in town. The first floor is setup for younger kids. A makerspace and programming for middle schoolers on the second floor. They just opened up a beautiful event space on the third floor. Everything is clean, neat, organized - a great place to visit if you have children.

Cute place for the kids to spend time indoors doing some pretend play. I would say its geared for kids 9 and under.

My son loves coming here. He always loves playing in the airplane. My daughter enjoyed playing in the baby areas too.

FANTASTIC place for a family! We own a timeshare in the Massanutten resorts. This is a fantastic get away from the resort activities on a not so awesome day! Definitely go. It is so fun for kids to explore and learn. It also is a great price for all day fun!

Small place.Great find for kids.You find things for all ages.Accommodating staff.Parking in street and free public garages.

It pretty good for it being a small children museum. It can keep your child busy for a little while

I cannot believe the price for this amazing kid friendly, hands on experience! There are great attractions for kids as young as walking. My 16 month old and my 5 year old played for 3 hours without any hesitation and we got in for $7 each! Wonderful!

Great place if you have little ones, or older little ones. Plenty to learn for them, and do. Youll be dragging them out kicking and screaming because they dont want to leave... true story.

My son loved this place. Had to chase him down. He wanted to see everything.

Spent 2.5 hours with grand kids 3 and 6, so much to do...stimulating, meaningful, thought provoking activities that were sooo fun. They didnt want to leave but you know how it gets when they are hungry and its close to nap time.

Great place to let your child just run free and play an explore. The price was reasonable and there was plenty of different exhibits for the kids to play with

Stopped here on our way back to DC from Massanutten resort and had a blast with the kids. Small place but SO much to do! Would definitely come back if were in the area.

A great place for kids to use their imagination while engaging in hands on learning experiences. I bring my younger cousins all the time and they love it!!!!! Highly recommend. Plus you cant beat the price of $7.50 per person for an all day admission!!!

Its a nice place for the kids, they have fun learning and interacting with the games offered by the museum

Such a great place for children to go and explore. They seem to constantly be adding and growing which makes it really nice for the kids. I definitely recommend going here if you never been here before

Friendly staff, great lighting that doesnt overwhelm kids with sensory issues and tons to explore! Definitely worth it!

I have been in the Explore More Discovery Museum with my two grandchildren. My grandchildren have memberships. They enter the museum as if it is theirs and my grandchildren are transformed. They seem interested in so many things and may God bless an organization that engages the minds and hearts of children so! Thank you!

Its a learning point for kids as well as others. Inspirational for grown ups And memorising the great people for their great achievements displayed in the Museum

Two of my daughters and 8 of my grandchildren and I, had a fabulous few hours, playing, exploring and learning! So many things to explore. Extremely kid friendly. Every need we had while there was well met. A very kid friendly, family friendly environment. All for a very reasonable price. Well ba going back, again and again.

Awesome place! Lots of fun activities for kids and educational as well. Well be back again for sure.

This place was awesome, my granddaughter had a great time, and so did the adults with her. Just enjoy her having fun made the day more fun, so glad there’s a place like this for the children to explore and have fun safely.!!!!!

I visited this place with my then 2 year old daughter and we had a blast! It was so cool, how they all these different sets from a mechanic shop, to a television broadcast, etc.

Good place to bring the kids and alot for adults to learn also.

Kids loved it. Lots to do and explore. $30 for my three children and myself.

Wonderful! My children loved it 20 years ago, my granddaughter loves it now. Brought back memories. Great learning experience while having fun doing so.

So much fun!! Awesome indoor playing plus its set up to help children to learn

They have the annual Christmad Galla at this place, and it without a doubt the event of the year for sure! Definitely make time in your year to go to it and give to this awesome place for kids!

Kids loved it there definitely will be going back.

Kids were running and screaming most of the time. Great museum but I felt like they could have told some of the kids just to calm down a bit. It felt a bit scary for my two year old because of that.

We love the Harrisonburg childrens museum! This morning my son and I had a daddy day and he loved every minute! Thank you for such a tremendously well run place!

This place was AWESOME endless discoveries for children every age

Good place to take kids to have fun and do interactive stuff with them. Only problem it gets really crowded.

Nice place for the kids to play and learn. There are all kinds of different stations for the kids to play at, from being a mechanic and working with tools to learning how to pack a healthy lunch in the kitchen. A barn slide, a cow to milk, a rain room, an airplane to pilot, the giant blocks to use your imagination with and create a playground. Such a cool place for kids to interact with each other and learn. Staff was very friendly and admission is decently priced with everything they have to offer.

We had such a great time here! There is so much to do!

The Gbabies love it

Incredible for kids of all ages! So much attention to detail and activities to keep them busy with benches & tables and chairs for parents to chill if desired. Makerspace is the best!!

Lots of fun for young kids to explore anything and everything!

This place is truly amazing. I remember when I went many years ago to a fundraiser event so they could add a new floor. Well that is in now and keeps growing and now they are looking at another floor. But they do not neglect the existing stuff either. They are constantly switching out or adding things to existing themes. Oh the themes. The large spectrum of educational things they have is impressive. Our daughter loved the dress up and theater stage this last time. She never was interested in playing dress up until we went this last time and now its all she wants to do. As someone who used to frequent the Richmond, Va Science musuem, believe when I say that this place on a per square footage comparison is far more impressive. They do more with less. Their yearly membership is worth it even if you go only a few times.

Wonderful place to play and learn. The 2nd floor is an excellent addition. My kids love this place!

We absolutely LOVE the childrens museum! Its so incredibly charming and fun! Our children, ages 4 to 10, can all find something to do!

Wonderful kids hands on museum, a must place to visit

This Museum is wonderful!There is a little something for every age, fun, hands on learning experiences, and ways for both grown ups and children to join each other in play. So many great ways to play and not even realize theyre also learning.

We expected more for $7 a person. Everything is really cramped and I feel like its geared more towards older kids than smaller, younger kids. We did have fun though.

My son had the best time here!

We love the Childrens museum!!! My mom buys the kids a family pass every year for Easter and we enjoy it all year long! There is so much to do here, they have all kinds of different stations including art, science, an ambulance, a kitchen, a slide, a huge theatre and more! I promise your kid wont be bored here! They do First Fridays every month where you get in FREE from 4-7p on the first Friday of every month if youre interested in seeing how you like it but dont have the money! They also have a whole new upstairs addition coming soon!

Great place to take kids. Upstairs offers sample room for them to run around and play while downstairs is packed with activities and a wide array of different themed zones.

Lots of different activities for children to enjoy while learning!

Love this place the possibilities are endless. Fun for all different ages.

It was free and it felt that way too. I wouldnt pay for this. Items scattered all over. It was like playing with the cheap toys in an oversized bedroom of a neighbors child. I know its just Harrisonburg but they have much competition out there. Check out Blippi on YouTube. He visits places like this that look so much better.

Excellent place to take kids. Would be an awesome place to take a field trip. You can spend hours and even most of your day there with lots of things to see and explore. The kids I took there didnt want to leave. We will surely be back again for a visit.

Great fun for kids with many areas of varying play and imagination. Some favorites were the full size ambulance, cockpit, foam blocks and light up wall.

Great place for kids. The 2nd floor addition is great with fun things for all. We have been members for years and will keep it up.

This is a wonderful place to be with kids, has a lot of different places with great brain stimulation for pretending and engaging work your little ones. It had a help desk and purple there is always helpful and friendly.

Ill be more detailed later, but this place is awesome

What a great place for kids to enjoy! They couldve stayed here all day. There are 2 floors full of exhibits that they can get their hands on, and for $7 a person, what a bargain!

Awesome spot. Especially great when wanting something to do with the kiddos on a rainy day

Great place for elementary school age children to visit on a sunny or rainy day for lots of fun

My kids love this place. Two floors of fun. Adults can watch or tune out with their phones.

Nice place

This is a great place to visit with your children and grandchildren. Probably most suitable to 5 to 10 year old children. Two floors of adventure and hands on activities.

Great place to take your kids and get them away from the screen. Various creative activities and programs

My children would live here if they could. We always renew the yearly membership because they NEVER get tired of going there as there is always something new to do. Storytime and crafts and painting always make each visit unique, and the continuous additions upstairs give them even more to do. They also love dressing up in all the costumes and going on stage to perform

Small but nice. Underground zoo, planetarium, camp ground. Right in a medium sized north east N.C. City. They have worked hard to prevent Windsor from becoming a rundown down small town. They reused what they have to revitalize there City.

Educational and fun for the whole family!! Will be going back soon!

2nd time here and alk the grandkids had fun.

Perfection for children under 12. Many hands on activities.

Great place for kids to play and explore.

AMAZING FUN FOR KIDS AND PARENTS!

Well worth the price! Our 13 month old had a blast and she isnt even walking yet!!

Grandbaby had a blast

This museum is perfect for my 3 yer old. Tons to do and lots of space to move around when it is busy! I highly recommend!

So much to do for the kids, hours worth of educational fun

This place is absolutely amazing. My son loved it! So many things to do. They even have areas for children under 3.

Took 3 kids here ages 2, 4, and 11. They had a blast and there were activities for all ages! The staff was so nice too! We came early and left for lunch then came back and stayed until closing. We will definitely be back!

Kids loved it, didnt even know it was there. There are a lot of stuff for the kids to do.

Really nice place to visit

Great 1st Friday Fun !!

So much to do!! Great all around.

A must for sure if you have little ones!
