Me and my friends went here years ago for a girl scout sleepover and me and my one friend slept in the weird cave/ pyramid thingy and it kept making noises and my friend was talking in her sleep we had so much fun would recommend shopping at that supermarket they have there wanna return with my friends to relive old memories now that were 13 and we did that like 6 years ago and we GOTTA do it again. love the pot pie yes yes. love the potato head yes yes

Great experience! Very easy to park and get into the museum, recommend using the Michigan Ave parking entrance. They offer enough activities to keep you there a whole day and you will still have to come back for the other half your kids didnt get to. We were extremely grateful for the complimentary pass for our special needs child, the facility is safe for kids of all age and capabilities. Highly recommend!

I came for a girl scouts field trip and look forward to coming again this place has the best chicken pot pie would definitely recommend. I love the Mr. Potato head exhibit so I look forward to seeing that again.

Before the COVID lockdown, this place was incredible! My kids have always loved coming here and Im usually surprised by how detailed and clean everything is. Definitely a fun place for my kids who are all under 8 years old.

Amazing! I have been to several childrens museums. This one might be one of my favorite because it seems more practical to teaching about real life living to children.This isnt the biggest childrens museum Ive been to however there are so many different activities to do that you can spend hours here.I have 4 kids from 2-10 and they all had a great time.The price for admission is the same for adults and kids but compared to other children museums is more than fair.Not a whole lot for the parents to do, but parents can teach their kids.There is a parking garage that is in walking distance and they will give you $3 off your parking.

This place is very good me and some friends went here for a sleep over and it was fun so many things to do we slept in the cave part with mr potato head i stayed up all night it was the best thing ever i recommend this place if u go! the cave wouldnt stop talking and i slept talked lol!

I think that the hands on experience with different occupations and ways of learning are super for children, ages 3 and older. My grandson is 1 1/2 and he was limited on what he could do independently. There was one small area of activities for younger children and he could partake in some of the older stations with assistance. His age-appropriate section was not much different than going to a childrens play center and park for the added expense. He liked more of the older children areas with help. I will wait and take him again when he is a little older.

Great place to take your kids. We always have a great time. I like how they rotate the exhibits so a visit there is always a new experience. Be sure to ask to about the parking garage discount.

Closed for covid. Understandable as its a very hands on experience for kids.

This place was only Okay in my opinion. Many of the hands-on toys/machines seemed old and didnt work as well as it was supposed to. I appreciate what this museum is all about, but everything needs an update and some remodeling done. We were here on a Thursday night and it got pretty crowded. It would be nice if there could be more management done about young children/toddlers running around on their own. Some kids are just trying to have fun while theres other kids running wild and destroying things without their parents around. Otherwise parking was easy. Front desk was friendly and welcoming.

Winter is upon us and here everyone can be active and dry. This was such a fun day. We took our neighbors granddaughter with the use of all pass from the New Berlin Public Library. But Betty Brinn also has a free night Thursday sponsored by Northwestern Mutual Life. There were so many activities to do this three-year-old never got bored and neither did the 80 year old. Its set up so conveniently for people who would use Walkers or wheelchairs or motor scooters. It also has a picnic area along with the ability to purchase Foods dinner healthy and prepared by Sendiks another contributor to the Brady Brim. They feature a full City with a bank a TV station post office real estate office construction of building a new house re-roofing and so many other valuable life skills and that was just the first area. The next area was all about communication and then the next year I hear youre after that its about science and the periodic table. The center is very clean well-maintained Im very helpful staff walking the floor from to assist you.

Definitely for kids younger than mine but a nice place to spend a little time. We still had fun. Smaller than I expected for Milwaukee.

Lots of great hands on play for young kids. The 4 year old loves it. Downsides: no food or beverage available, make sure to bring your own. Very few to no quiet areas for nursing moms and baby (at least during events).

So much fun! Great place to bring kids and let them play and explore. There is a separate, gates area just for toddlers. This is perfect if you have a runner. They change exhibits often so there is always something new. They arent as big as some other childrens museums but their price is very reasonable. I recommend a membership, its worth it. You do have to pay for parking so keep that in mind. My only complaint is that there isnt a cafe. Make sure to pack a lunch or snacks.

I have a season pass and I love it! I have three little kids and the season pass allows us to go for an hour or two at a time without feeling bad about spending $100 for an hours visit.

A great place for kids of any age! My three month old loved all the colors, lights, and ‘big kids’ running around while my two year old enjoyed every single station he could get his hands on. We arrived right after they opened on a Wednesday morning and found it easy to enjoy the museum, even with a local school’s field trip being there too. We really enjoyed the little toddler section. All in all, we spent about 4 hours and had only gone through around 60% of the whole museum. We will definitely be returning to Betty Brinn Children’s Museum the next time we visit Wisconsin.

Such a wonderful time! I took my niece (3) and my son (10) and they played for 2 hours without getting bored. There is so much for them to play with and explore! Admission is $9/ea, but I felt it was worth it.

We love childrens museums and I appreciate how this one had some different things we arent used to seeing. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Art area needs to be a bit more free spirited. Good mix for older and younger kids.

What a great place for inquisitive children of all ages. Gave our grandson a membership for his one year birthday and wondered if there would be things for his age group to enjoy. His first visit at 15 months was a huge success. He loved it and tons for him to do and things to interact with. Many more visits to come to enjoy. Highly recommend!

Best option for hosting a childrens event or party. Organized my nephews birthday party. The kids enjoyed the amphitheatre set up of the room and even though hosting the event for a certain time period, guests in the party have free access to the museum all day long. Interesting and educative options for the kids to learn and grasp new things. Highly recommended for all parents and also for organizing affordable events.

Amazing place! My son absolutely loved it, there is so much to do! Parents, be prepared to be as exhausted as your child(ren) lol. Like many other children my son did not want to leave. I particularly enjoyed the workforce area, and the small grocery store, it really gave my son a sense of independence. It was our first time, I found that the place was a bit hard to find, I used GPS, drove around to the back to find. Parking structure $8 with $2 discount once validated (non- member). Went on a Saturday, park on street if possible. We did not purchase products on inside. Good times.

We could have spent days here! So much fun! Seemed perfect for ages 3-8, but my one year old had a blast and saw many middle schoolers having fun too! I wonder though how often everything gets cleaned .

We went here for a class field trip. My daughter and her friends had a ton of fun!

Our girls just love this place! So many different things to keep them active and engaged.

It was fun for my kids. The vast majority of the activities there seem to be focused around the preschool/kindergarten school age kids, with some exhibits for older kids. The science area was pretty cool. Both of my kids really enjoyed the computer coding station. I would definitely recommend this place if your children are between 4-10. Anything older and the kids might get kind of bored.

Me and the kids always love this place. Its the perfect place for kids all ages. We made it just in time for the New Years Ball Drop at noon. I had to drag my two year old out screaming but its always worth the good time she has.

Not huge but definitely worth the trip! Just remember to eat before you come or pack a lunch! I reccomend for kids of all ages.

Loved this place. Very reasonably priced. My grandson had a great time.

Be prepared for a lot of school groups that visit. They come through in large batches and sort of take over different sections so we try to move around opposit of what they do. Absolutely love going there I would say the oldest age would be somewhere around six.

Our boys love it here. Can spend all day playing and running around. If you have young ones you gotta take em.

Great place for our kids! Noticed they put extra efforts to ensure sanitation! Thank you for the good time! :)

I have kids 8, 6, and 3 and all love this place. It can get a bit crazy depending on how many children are there but seems that there are enough activities for everyone so isnt typically a problem. There is always a room that changes, which can give it a fresh feel when you go back.

This place looks normal from the outside but it had a ton of really cool physics based games. The small City was also really neat as well. You could easily spend half a day here.

Constantly updating and bringing in new fun things for the kids. Highly recommend! Kids- 5,7

My kids love this museum. There is an entire section for kids 5 and younger. We were here for 3 hours and they still didnt want to leave!

Very clean facility, my 21 month old enjoyed himself. They do military discounts and I only paid 13$ for myself and son.

Great place for my little children. They love coming here..

Fun play museum for kids of all ages. I especially loved the under 4 area for my toddlers!

My kids love this place and as do I. There always changing and adding something new. My kids really like the crafts they get to make and take home. They really get excited about the fact “we get to make AND take it home.” Thank you guys for always making it a fun and memorable time for us.

We got a membership here because its the best value and we plan on coming back!

Great place to take kids to have fun. There a lot of hands on activities

Great garden area for the younget kids! Can get kinda crowded

Its a great place to visit at least once, but I think that some of the exhibits could benefit from an update. The day we were there the museum wasnt very busy but yet many items seemed out of place in the exhibit or missing from the area all together. My daughter was looking forward to going into the craft area, which did not open during our visit despite hours being posted on the door suggesting that it should be open.

Great place for young kids with plenty to keep them busy. Great location for exploring the downtown area - right along the avenue! From the interactive bug education outdoor patio area there is a beautiful view of the lake and Callatrava at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Its on the bus line, so you can save time and money finding parking.Interactive, educational and of course, FUN! Brought my nephew here and had a few hours of fun and learning for under $20. There was also a play area for very young/toddlers to play - we didnt check out that area since hes not in the age/size range.The current changing exhibit was all Mr. Potato Head. There was a station with every imaginable part, even star wars themed items, to create your own Mr. (or Miss) Potato Head. There was also a space station and archeological dig area in the Potato Head section.One area has a town that the kids can run! Complete with a post office, car repair shop, bank, and even a grocery store where kids can explore their passions as they learn. Everything is set up so kids can work together in whichever role they choose. They can be a bank teller, repair a car, deliver mail, grocery shop or take a relaxing ride on their Harley.You must have a child with you to visit. There is a number you can contact if there is any special arrangements that may need to be requested for an adult that is not with a child. I assume its for everyones safety.There are plenty of seats for adults with great views of all the action. I never once lost sight of my little ward but was still able to give him the space to explore.Highly recommended.

This place is Amazing! I took my 2 yr old granddaughter we were in town for a photo shoot for Khols and needed something to do with our gown time.Hours of endless learning fun!

We had an awesome time. Tina at the front desk was so cool and really helpful on info about the museum and surrounding city area. The museum is amazing and the kids had so much fun. Hands down the best childrens museum ever.

Reduced parking for members. $3The museum changes frequently in the main area to keep children interested and learning.The Milwaukee Bus, Sendicks Grocery Store, and Auto Body Shop are probably 3 of the biggest interests.While you are there you will see employees cleaning. I dont fear my children getting sick.

This place has a decent blend of staple, static exhibits: motorcycles, bus, grocery store, construction zone, tube and tunnel system, and a regularly rotating array of seasonal activities (the baseball exhibits were great over summer of 19). Depending on when you go, sometimes the seasonal setup is a little light, but kids love it, its usually clean and organized, and parking is cheap with museum admission (just remember to pay for parking when paying for admission).

Fun place for children and parents to learn and plan. Had a hard time leaving. Just wanted to stay longer.

I have been talking my children to the kids museum for the past 3 years and every time they cannot get enough. The activities are constantly updated and are so much fun. My daughter loved being a doctor this time around!

We had a blast! Its the perfect size to feel safe letting your little one run around, but not so small that everyone is fighting to share. Tons of activities, a special area for tots under 4, and a HUGE opportunity for a lot of learning!

What an awesome children’s museum. My son loves coming here, still at the age of 6. He loves the little town, especially the grocery store. And the factory area with the letters is so cool too. Great place to take little ones

Was a neat place to visit. Seemed designed with younger kids in mind. LOVED seeing all the staff members disinfecting surfaces all over throughout our entire visit! Not much to offer in the souvenir shop that had the name(1water bottle and tiny t-shirts)...mostly expensive toys you can buy anywhere.

Lots of fun stuff in the pretend areas. The “ball” areas were more frustrating than informative or fun.Free use of socks was great though.

Very educational and so much for kids to do.

My kids wanted to go one last time because they have actually outgrown this museum. There are a few really nice editions that are educational and encouraging kids to read. A place to bring toddlers on a cold winter day. We have great memories from when they were little which is awesome.

Great place for family. The staff is warm and friendly and there’s plenty of options for the kids to do many fun projects!

A lot of space and fun for active children and parents who need a break!

Love taking my 3 year old here. So much for him to do and everything he touched is educational in some way. Not to mention he can touch everything. No chasing after him yelling to put that down or dont touch that. I can let him just be his curious 3 year old self and really dive into the learning.

I can’t give this 1 star, because my kids had a blast, but we were seriously frustrated with the service and how run down the place was. First, we looked into whether or not our museum membership would transfer and this would be free. They are a program participant - so it should have been. They couldn’t figure it out, so we had to pay. It wasn’t a huge deal. They told us they’d email the tech people since “so many people have been complaining.” We were completely respectful - $20 isn’t a problem. When we showed them why we knew they were program participants the manager gave us a ton of attitude (she was already working the front desk). We had already paid without complaint, there was no need for attitude.The building itself was run down. Many of the exhibits were not working or partially not working. Many had missing pieces.While we certainly won’t be back the next time we’re down in the area, (Discovery World is MUCH bigger and much better run) my kids all enjoyed their time there and didn’t notice the same things we did.

If your kids need a break bring them here, this is best place.

What a great childrens museum! Lots of space - not too crowded. Was lucky enough to have the place almost to ourselves during a midweek visit. Lots of activities and subjects to entertain and teach children.

Great place to take kids for an on hands experience to learn about science in a fun way. Our Grandkids had a ball as we did watching them going from one area of the building to the next. Two hours went by very quickly. Recommend that a visit is well worth the time.

My 3 year old loved it! Lots to do and a great way to learn.

Awesome place. Highly recommend. Areas that are suitable for a wide range of kids. Also great that it doesnt break the bank! Also yay science!!

This is by far the best childrens museum Ive been to. There are so many activities using various methods of engaging the children. I really appreciate how they have all the labeling and questions in both English and Spanish. They are part of the ASTC passport program, which allowed for us to use our membership from our local childrens museum when visiting Milwaukee.

Always a great place for toddlers up to elementary aged kids. Had a 1yr, 7 yr, 9 yr and 11yr and they all had a blast.

Great place to take your kids to let them explore all kinds of amazing things. They even have a toddler section. My kids loved it. My only caveat is that you have to keep a close eye on your kids because there are winding hallways and lots of other kids. They can be out of your sight in seconds.

Betty Brinn is always a favorite adventure for my grade school grandkids. Theres more than enough to do before they run out of steam.

We brought our almost one year old and even though it is geared for a little bit older kids he loved the under 4 area. It was nice and clean and quiet. Definitely recommend.

It is a fun place for kids and my girls got their energy out, however I went with 4 stars as some exhibits seemed a bit low-effort. Also as a nit pick in case they read these, your periodic table has sodium listed incorrectly as lithium, just fyi.

Great for small children who still enjoy pretending. My 14 month old enjoyed all the activities. I’d guess that children over the age of 10 are going to lose interest in the place very quickly or find the toys inaccessible.

Weve been coming to the Betty Brinn Childrens Museum since my son was 2. Hes now 5 and still loves it. And the employees have never been nothing but kind!

The children love it! Its a Hands-On Museum with activities for children. Even if we stay 6 hours they arent ready to leave. Even my thirteen-year-old continues to ask when will we go back again.

Cute interactive museum. Its a shame the parents of older children there are barely supervised. It makes it harder on the toddlers to have fun.

I loved this museum and so did my kids. They had an awesome time exploring each of the areas (next time well go earlier so they have more time to play). I like the set up and how the kids can learn about different topics in a hands-on way.

Absolutely great place to bring the kids from Toddler ages to early Junior High.

Lovely place whether youre 5 or 55. Very innovative hands-on exhibits and activities for children. Would be a great field trip spot for school children!

A fun place to take your kids and entertain them for hours! I even had a blast as well! A nice get away from the daily grind of work and life. Definitely recommend you stop by and visit! It is located downtown so parking may be an issue, but there is a garage located there if you so choose.

Great place for educational play. They rotate the exhibits. So come back every month for something new.

Took my kids here over Christmas break. They absolutely loved it even though it was a bit crowded.

It was super cute and fun, just really busy, and not alot of coat space

The pricing is deceptive. Clearly states 1yr and under is free, my daughter is only 15 months old and they charged $9. What it should say is 12 months and under. Other than that it was a lot of fun for my daughter.

My baby loves this place.Wehad a wonderful time..

The children always have a great time...thank you to all the staff.

Thank you groupon for the deal. Wish there was more physical things to do but it was fun. My monkeys wanted to climb more

Another successful trip to Betty Brinn! My boys and I had a great time. The staff was friendly and the museum was in tip top shape.

Love it love it love it my kids almost never want to go home and I get in free had a

The museum is a delightful way to entertain a 2 yr grandchild. Just let her explore on her own timeline. Many exhibits are geared to her age level and development. She consumed her time in the childrens park. She was just delighted to play by herself, while we sat and watch her learn different ways to approach things. A great place to observe her learn how to discover herself. There are many other areas focused on different age levels, and it will be nice to watch her grow into theses areas of discovery.

Great place for kids to challenge themselves

Great place to take the kids! They always have a lot of fun! Its cheap and affordable for single parents or low-income parents! kids get in free and a lot of great restaurants nearby great view of the lake and the Art Museum and just a wonderful place for the kids to learn and use their imagination!!

Amazing place. I wish the pricing was a little different for the kids age.

Love I! Kids enjoys it, exhibits are perfect and appropriate for kids age.

Went for the first time on my eldest daughters​ field trip. I really enjoyed myself so much to the point I will be taking all four of my kids the very next day. My son will fall in love with the vehicles. His twin sister will fall in love with the pretend play food and stores. My eldest will fall in love with everything and so will my eight year old. I highly recommend this place!

Awesome place for kids to explore and learn new thing. BaM workshops are awesome also

I only gave them one star because zero wasnt an option. We got there when they opened on a Sunday, and within an hour there were so many kids my son couldnt do anything. There were big kids in the toddler room and unsupervised kids everywhere with parents on the phone. Kids were running and screaming. My son was hit in the face. Nobody was enforcing the rules because the kids working there were playing scrabble, dancing, and yelling to each other. One of them used inappropriate language while yelling to another one about what they got each other for Christmas. This place definitely needs to cap their admission or sell hourly tickets like trampoline parks do. It was not fun and not safe. We will never go back.

Spent the afternoon here and it was a fine experience for the kids. It is however very small (maybe a dozen areas?) and most importantly it wasn’t a museum because they dont teach anything there. It is an occupational playground with many missed lessons: a grocery store that doesnt teach about weights and measures, a tv studio and green screen that doesnt teach about signal transmissions or how anything works, an auto shop that doesnt teAch about engines.If they would insert even a tiny bit of education it could be considered a museum, but as said, its an occupational playground.

Fun & learning for the WHOLE family!

Awesome affordable educational experiences for kids large interactive areas great view of lakefront as well love BBCM
