Loved it... They were very nice, up on the whole virus restrictions. My son loved it. Very hands on for kids and we were happy. Definitely will return again, and there is a kids park outside, too.

Really great childrens museum. Lots of space. Lots of interactive activities. Great for under 10. Best for under 6. They do have birthday party rental options too. Really nice well run place.

The Holyoke Childrens Museum is a staple within the city, and is simply a great, fun, and entertaining place to bring young children.The museum is located in the lower lever of the building, you an take the elevator or stairs down. The cost for children and adults is $8 each, $5 for seniors, and free to children 1 year or younger. If you live in the area the best value is a yearly pass.There are many different play areas which include a make believe restaurant, grocery store, dog grooming truck, large bubble making area, flowing water area with boats, two story climbing and crawling area, shadow room, hand puppet theater, pneumatic tube area, toddler play area, and many many more. Everything is geared towards childrens playing, learning, and role playing.There are two large birthday rooms with refrigerators, tables, and chairs. One is animal themed, and the other is barnyard themed.The Childrens Museum has a lot to offer young children, and no matter how many times I bring my own children they never get tired or bored of it.

Staff is very nice and keeps all area sanitized, social distance is a must but kids still have a lot of fun!

The best childrens museum anywhere around. A lot of stations for kids to play and some outdoor areas on way to old marry go round.

Their curvy climber is a must-see! That climber is fun for any age kid. We found the exhibits to be especially entertaining for our 2-year-old, especially the fire truck, ambulance and pizza kitchen areas. Very well-done!

I enjoy coming here with my toddler. It’s great in colder days but lots more to do in the summer. Lots of activities to do. I go on weekends so parking on the street at a meter is no issue. I do not recommend parking in the garage across from it as it is not clean and seems abandoned.

Large spacious childrens museum with lots for kids to do. My kids love the wavy climber and water table. Different rooms with lots to do!

Theres lots for kids to do. The facility is big, clean, and each station has an educational purpose. There are picnic tables upstairs for families who bring there own meals. I would definitely bring my 2 and 3 yr kids again.

A great place for fun! This is a small museum, but has loads of fun activities for children. Theres a water station, air maze for seeing how air moves, post office, ambulance, fire truck, police department. Holyoke being a mill town as part of its history they have a station for weaving, so they teach history and they have a real granite slab with dinosaur track fossils. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They help make the museum fun. My grandson is 3 and had a wonderful time.

We love going here little one always has a blast and theres tons to do she loves it!!

Great place. Fun for everyone. Safe age appropriate areas for all age groups.

They pack a lot of great activities into a really small space. Would definitely recommend it. My 1 and a half year old had a great time!

My son always has a great time here with friends. easy parking in garage across the st.Great place to kill an hour to hour and a half if time. I recommend coming right at opening to avoid the crowds

This place is a dream come true for 4-6 year olds. Most things are geared towards younger children and theres a wide variety of activities. Its a testament to the team that so many stations are sponsored by community businesses and organizations. My daughter and I visited from Wisconsin and we werent sure what to expect, but 4+ hours later, I had to drag her away; she loved it that much.

Very well taken care of and run. Staff were so friendly and it was so clean & well maintained. Definitely going back and probably becoming a member!

Best Childrens museum in the area. Best for ages 3-8. My children love it. U can pack a lunch and eat upstairs at picnic tables, otherwise not much around. Parking is a little tricky too, bring coins!

This is such a quaint, sweet museum that I enjoy going to with kids I work with. I have been going since I was small myself, theyve really made awesome improvements over the years while keeping some of the same fun activities!

Absolutely amazing!! I love this place!! I used to go when i was a child...n now Im very happy to be able to bring my son as well...n have him enjoy it as much, if not more, then i did!! Theres something here for children of all ages!

My kids loved visiting, and it brought back memories of visiting when I was a kid! There is plenty to keep kids busy here. Only complaint is that its very challenging to keep an eye on two kids at one time here.

We really enjoy the Holyoke Childrens Museum. We have been going here him for about seven years. We all got a membership each year. I have three kids and live in Holyoke. Sometimes I find it difficult to see all three of my daughter at once while I am there. I feel like theres an expectation that I need to be able to visualize all three of my children at the same time in order for us to be there which feels relatively undoable so from time to time I have taken breaks from going. I wish that you enter the museum I got him stamped and then there were bathrooms. I dont like that children leave the main entrance to use the bathroom. I dont want strangers going out there with children in the bathrooms. So of course I accompanied all three of my children to the bathroom on the right there. Which usually means all 4 of us In one stall. My kids really love the climbing thing in the water table. Can definitely stay there for entire day without getting bored.

Always a great time for kids and adults, too!

I have been going here since I was a kid so I’m always super excited to bring my little one. There are so many things to do to keep the little ones occupied and every activity is a learning experience which I love. New exhibits make their way in frequently so children don’t get bored of doing the same thing. Beware of times when they are hosting events or when kids are out of school, I would not recommend bringing toddlers around those times!

This place is sick. I fit all 195 lbs and 73 of myself in the tumbler. Whether its allowed or not idk. Theres plenty to do and you can easily plan for two hours of fun just roaming around. Unique museum that is more about having fun playing at an exhibit. I use the activities as talking points with my son. So wait what causes the handkerchief to move in the tube????

We loved this museum and wish it was closer to us. My daughter loved the water exhibit and playing with the magna tiles the most. It was fun and we will definitely be going again.

Fun place to go with the little ones. Gets crowded but tons of fun!

Love this place and have for years! Clean, educational, sensory experience for young children. Engaging and constantly upgrading or changing out area toys to keep it new and exciting while leaving the greatest areas untouched. The waterway is fabulous, the curvy climber can be used by many ages and the increase in STEM areas fabulous. Staff is even better

Took my 19 month old grandson. He had a wonderful time. Its a great museum for younger children. We will be back

Very welcoming and fun activities. Play dress up while pretending to drive the ambulance vehicle. Shadow room, african drums, piano, pretend to be a mail man, read, draw, create a fort. Pretend to shop for groceries, cook in pretend kitchen and make pretend pizza in pizza restaurant. Super cool. Science exploration. Water fun and web climbing.

My kids love coming here to play! Its also a great place to have kids birthday parties!

We are Free Fun Friday veterans. We have gone to A LOT of childrens museums. Weve been to so many the kids seemed to be getting bored with them and I was thinking about not going to them anymore. Im so glad we decided to do one more. This is by far the BEST IN THE STATE! It has the best attractions of every other childrens combined under one roof. And for good measure they added in even more. We were there for hours and I dont think we really got to see and experience everything. Afterwards the kids compared notes and each had favorites that their siblings didnt even see. It was such a good time that even my 11 year old who groaned and complained she was too old for baby stuff didnt want to leave. Everyone wants to go back!

My grandson haf a birthday there an there was so much for the little ones to do.an the staff was very friendly ..a. They had a birthday. room there .i hivbly recomend the museum .

So much for the kids to do. Even my 15 year old was having fun.

Our 4 year old loves it here. Loves the ambulance. Lots to see and touch. Lots of variety! Very cool place to visit.

Many different things for the kids to do. All ages welcomed and activities for all ages. Kids really love the curvy climber. Couldnt get them out.

My daughters n there friends love it i got the yearly thing and cheaper that way

Great place to take your children. Very nice staff

So much nostalgia! Also many updates, the place is awesome for the little ones

This place excellent!! We took my 1 year old nephew here and he had a blast!! There were so many different things to do. Price was very reasonable.

It was ok. Maybe coz it was a Saturday, but too many kids n not enuf space!

Greta place for the kids to spend an hr and many more depends on your day. The climb thing is kinda small but that never deterred a child from saying I wanna climb that. Water table is great. Dont expect to stay dry. Everything about the place is fun. Never turn down a day here

Many activities for children ages 1.5 to 10. Older children will enjoy the engineering section especially. Wide open spaces with separte areas according to age. Discounts and coupons can be used as well. We bought a 13 month family pass that was very affordable. Highly recommended.

This place is great! Brought my two year old nephew, we both had a blast...highly recommended for children of all ages...admission was 8 bucks for adults, but the kids are free, and they also have senior discounts for persons over 62 years of age...have fun!

Hands down to me an amazing place everything is hands-on the one place where we can relax and let the kids play safely and explore their surroundings. Staff is amazing friendly and very understanding Im here at least once a month with my little crew w1ven my teen enjoys it because she can actually play with her siblings on their level with no judgement at all

Tons of rooms and activities for 2-6 year Olds in a casual atmosphere.

Great place to bring the kids for something to do. They also have a merry go round here. Call or go to the website for hours of operation.

Loved this place! Very safe & fun for children to run around & go from activity to activity smoothly and easily! Cant beat the price!

Our whole family had an awesome time! Kids are 2, 4, 8 and 13 years old. Even the parents had a good time! Something for everyone. We could spend a whole day here! Well worth a visit!

Weve now taken our 2-year-old here to play 4 times and just love it. She constantly asks to go back. We bought a 13 month family pass which was very reasonable! There Is so much here to stimulate her very curious mind and keep her active and running and playing for hours. I especially love the giant hanging carpeted Jungle Gym! She could literally play on that all day long and just exhaust yourself! Thank you! We will be going again tomorrow and I suspect we will get quite a bit of use out of this pass. I couldnt give it a higher recommendation. The staff are very very friendly and theyre all smiling and some even join in playing with the kids; its obvious they enjoy working with them.

Fun place. I brought my 4yr old and almost 2 yr old. They had a Blast for about 2 hours, they probably could have stayed longer. Huge jungle gym, water table with toys and lots of areas to play dress up and make believe. We had a ton of fun.

Really nice but they could have more bathroom

Perfect place for the kids to have fun and explore without the worry of dangerous activities!

Brought the family to the museum, and had a great time. There are so many things for the kids to do and play with. I really liked how they made important science lessons enjoyable to kids and encouraged them to solve complicated problems in a fun ways.

The kiddos love it here! Huge water table and magnet board. Also, mini supermarket, lego and train table. Fire truck and police station. Dress up play. So much to do.

My 10 month old loved it here

I suggest checking out your local library for passes, many have 1/2 off admissions. Also, there are places outside to eat a lunch, you just cant bring food into the museum. I highly suggest that idea! The snacks and water prices are insane! Kids have a variety of activities to do for all ages, the Merry Go Round and a play area is right outside the museum too. Its 2.00 a ride so we only did 2 rides for the kids. The Birthday parties can be a little annoying coming in and going out because of all the chaos and other little kids upset there is a party there and they are not going. Lol. Use a LOT of hand sanitizer around cold and flu season!

Very interactive. Very kid safe.

My daughter and I used to go here almost every day they were open. Its a wonderful place, especially for toddlers and elementary school aged children. Lots of climbing, building and interactive exhibits. The staff are some kind, wonderful people you will meet and are great with the kids.

We had the best time! So much to do! We plan to buy a membership!

My family had a blast my daughter loved it!!!

To be honest I usually hate places with so many kids but this is great! My four kids all loved it and my youngest, Kamden didn’t get into any fights like he usually does with other kids. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly

Nice staff! Fun museum.

Is a very great place to take your children

We took our 18 month old granddaughter here for the first time today. She had such a blast that we bought the yearly pass. So many fun things for her to explore. Well be back many many times

A family membership pays for itself! The new exhibit is super fun for parents and children alike.

Great place for kids, stuff to climb on and play with, $8, has some educational value.

I have been here twice with my 2 yr old. Both times he had lots of fun. I bought the family membership for $100. Will be going there hopefully once a week or twice.

Fantastic place to take the little ones. I have been 4 times. Once for a birthday party and 3 times for a field trip with my kindergarten classes. They really enjoy it. Tons of things for them to explore.

Always a fun time. Clean place, friendly staff

Great place for young kids! And even children a little bit older, a very interactive place with lots for the kids to do! Dont worry parents; youll have a blast too! My 2 year old had soooooo much fun she begs me all the time to go back! :)

Love this place, so amazing! Definitely worth a visit if you have young children

A Good Place for childrens and for parents too

A very fun place to go

Had a great time with my daughter here theirs soo much kids and do

Weve been to dozens of childrens museums across the east coast, and this is one of the best weve been to. Its not a huge space, but it definitely enough to spend several hours in. We have a 4 year old and a 1 year old, and they both had a blast! Their large climbing structure is great, too, because they allow adults to climb, too!

Great offerings for both older and younger children. Some snacks and drinks offered there. Periodic events in the front room. Lots of fun. Not a huge place so it can get crowded on days when there isnt any school.

Its a fun, entertaining and educational. Just bring your own snacks.

Took my class here and we had an Amazing time.

Lots of room great for a rainy day like today. Airy open playspace with of role play activities.

$2 with EBT card for up to 4 people. Great place for local children.

Great for children of all ages, plenty of fun obstacles and experiences to keep everyone entertained

Brought my 4yr old son here. 3 hours flew by. My son had a blast and there was so many things to do and play with. I was just as engaged as my son was which was nice because a lot of the time im bored when i take him somewhere. Also the discount on ebt holders was much appreciated. I am a single parent working an insignificant job so its nice to get a break on cost once in a while. Highly recommend we played from the moment we got there till the place closed and even then my son didnt want to leave.

Great place for kids, fun and safe

So much fun for little kids!

Family friendly Museum where children have lots of fun.

Great place for kids, love to have my daughter birthday there

Fun area for kids. lots of activities and not too pricey

This is a fun place for children. The water area, the wavy climber, and the tunnel were hits with the 6 year olds.

It was not bad but needs a little updating.

It was a beautiful experience!

Absolutely loved this place. My 19 month old had a blast!

Lots of fun! Dont forget the carousel just a walk away from here.

My nephew loved it. Theres something for all ages. The perfect place for creative and curious young minds...for those busy bodies too.

This is a great place for young kids, especially elementary age and younger. They add new things on a regular basis and have a great staff. I try to support as much as I can.

Awesome!! Fun and educational. My two boys had a blast.

Love it my kids feel so free i enjoy being a kid with them every time

Looks like Im going to come back here year after year for birthday celebrations. This place is great. It is mostly run by volunteers, but so far that caused no issues neither for myself the party host, nor for my childs B-day guests. IMHO needs some more slides.

My son loves the museum. It is a perfect activity for him for a few hours. Awesome place for kids.

The building doesnt have a parking for visitors but theres plenty on the streets around. I will call it a park more than a museum because most exhibits are interactive. Its more toddler and little children oriented but bigger kids can have lots of fun too if they keep it open minded. Mi one-year-old was having a blast and my 10-year-old had plenty of entertainment too. Its a place I will visit regularly mainly because provides a safe, estimulating environment for my toddler and also a time-away-from-screens for my pre-teen son.

There is SO much for the kids to do and explore, visit after visit, they always have a great time.
