Cute cute cute! And perfect play area/size/amount of people. My son is 2 1/2 and was in heaven. I’d say it’s geared towards 6 and under but the bigger kids could easily play with little bit one sand engage in using their imagination. Will definitely return!

Great for toddlers. So clean!

Cool place but its not a museum its a giant play ground with facts on the wall and toys that take thought for kids to play with.

So cute my kiddo had a blast altho the fun wears off after about 45 min

Perfect place for the smaller kids. Toddlers can run free and have a blast without getting run over by older kids.

Very nice people, very clean, lots to do for kids..

This place is so awesome I took my Little in 2017 and I cant wait to visit again soon

Amazing. My daughter loved it. She had fun.

The price is very reasonable, and if we lived here, we would get a membership. There are so many fun things to do here. We brought our 3 kids here and there were perfect things for each kid to do. This is a large area with good indoor and outdoor activities. This was our first time here, and we will be back.

Never too crowded and always a great time! Perfect for younger tots. Theres a central area for babies where you can sit and watch your older children run around.

Best Playspace for Young Kids (10 and younger).Yeah, this place is fantastic. Its completely designed for imaginative and interactive play as each space is filled with stuff to touch and toys to play with. They have a bank, campsite, NASA, grocery store, and house section for kids to play. Outside there is a water space and large playground with climbing space. I was especially grateful for their toddler section which is perfectly designed for under 3 to play without getting run over by bigger kids. I also think their art section is great but come ready for messy play there.

My kids love this childrens museum. It is small enough that they can manage the stations in their own and I dont have to sorry about getting separated from them. It uses imaginative play and keeps them occupied the entire day. My oldest girl (9) still really enjoys it too!

This place has some amazing facts...check it out

Alot of hands on activites for toddlers !

I took my sister when she was little and now that I have kids I have take them. It’s great they have lots of fun and they learn while playing. One thing I don’t like is that they have the entrance at the gift shop, so kinda difficult if your kids always want something from there. But other than that, it’s good for kids

We love this museum. My children range from ages 2-7 and they request to go here all the time. We got season passes and it’s so worth it.

This place is amazing! We attended here with a field trip. There are so many different areas for children to play and use their imagination. Our favorite spot was the space/NASA section

Im always baffled that Childrens Museums charge admission for adults, but this is unfortunately the norm. The museum is small, but perfect for a couple hours of entertainment for your toddler or preschooler. They have a space area, hospital/ambulance/nursery area, baby area, bank, grocery store, house, tree house, camper/campground, cave, train tables, and covered outdoor area with a large water table, playground, musical instruments, and large foam building blocks. My youngest kids like it, but I have to go while the older kids are in school, because they are bored easily. Its not really fun for anyone 9+.

We used to love the Childrens Museum. Weve had a membership for almost 3 years. But for the last year the sheer volume of field trips almost every morning is unbearable. Were not talking a few classes, its between 4-6 school buses worth of kids! Kids who are screaming and running through the place. Its EVERY TIME we go. We come in the mornings to avoid the big kids who are in school but apparently we cant at the Childrens Museum anymore. Weve been told to call ahead to see if there are field trips that day but I shouldnt have to. There should be designated field trip days so my small children can enjoy the place that I PAY to attend. We will not be renewing our membership. Very disappointing.

This place was so much fun. We had a great time. Tons of activities for all ages.

The museum is very clean and has lots of activities for the kids. Price is great and they have a cafeteria onsite with plenty of options on the menu at decent prices.

Kids loved it. Actually had to drag them out! Lol jk the kids didnt want to leave!

Great place to take children for a day of fun. There is so much for them to do. Fun and educational. Their all day dmission is affordable. And if for any reason you have to leave, you can come back same day with receipt of paid admission. There are so many different areas for the kids to enjoy. Too many to list. My kids never want to leave! Highly recommended!

It’s a nice place for children to grow up exploring! Great outlet for all the creative energy toddlers have! Paint room is set and ready to go. We could spend an entire day at the extensive train track exhibit. Outdoor climbing & building scapes are fun and challenging! Simple Lunch is served onsite with indoor and outdoor terrace seating. The water play exhibit is a refreshing oasis on hot days! Outdoor exhibits are fully shaded with bench seating for moms & dads to comfortable & closely observe child play.

Great place for kids between 3 to 7 and the best part the admission ticket is not expensive. My son (5years old) have a lot of fun today. I will come back.

Excellent for young kids! A great place for a play date or to just get out of the house on a rainy day. Check out their amazing deal on a membership! It’s awesome! Worth the drive from the Kyle/Buda area.

Only one entrance/exit makes it so much easier to keep track of my kids and let them play freely. Lots of play areas and the face painting is always a hit too. The water play is great in the Summer.

Very fun for young children! This is our second visit and not our last!!

So many things to do. Clean and tidy. Perfect size... Not to big (so its easy to keep track of kids) and not too small (so kids stay busy). My preschool age kids love it.

This place is amazing for young kids. We have had a membership at the Thinkery in Austin for two years but traffic and the sheer business of it stops us from going as often as we would like so we decided to try out McKenna Childrens museum to see if it would be worth the switch. We have a 1.5 & 3 year old and in my opinion this museum takes the Cake for that age range. It has a bigger area for toddlers under 3 than the Thinkery and everything here is definitely geared towards imaginative play which is perfect! For now until our kids are a bit older were making the switch to the McKenna Museum.My only con/warning would be their outdoor water area, the floor is way to slippery and they dont currently have enough slip safe mats out there. Hold your kids hands, even walking slowly my little one biffed it hard.

Omg! My daughters brain was so stimulated during this field trip! Even I had fun playing pretend with her! The space walk is the coolest room of them all (a little spooky for the kids since its pitch black)after the 1st walk thru I couldnt keep her out of there! I cant wait to go back with my other kids

Clean, fun and great for the kids to burn some energy!! They have some great stuff. Art room and space area was so fun for the kids

Staff and I from the RTC facility we work at took the kids here for an outing for the day for school and it was a wonderful place for our Autistic and behavioral children. They enjoyed it so much and I hope the Schedule them to go again one day!

This is a great place to take your kids if you are on vacation. There is only one entrance and exit so you can let them run around freely. There is a nice outside water area as well.

Great experience! My son and I stopped by here while visiting SA and we had such a great time. Lots of great activities for the kids and a great staff. Worth the visit!

Awesome place! We spent over 2 hours here and my one year old never got bored!

This childrens museum was a lot of fun for the kids under 10. Older ones were a little bored. We spent several hours playing. They let us bring in lunch and eat at tables in their hallway. It was a great way to spend the day!

Great place for young children. Loads of imagination play. I wish they would do more new exhibits more often. But other than that its a lot of fun and a great family friendly place.

The kids had a blast. They were happy. Everything and the price was very affordable. The employees are very polite and welcoming. It was an excellent experience.

I travel from San Antonio to bring my 2 year old here all the time! Its such a fun place where toddlers can run around. Weekends can get very busy and sadly they are closed on Sundays. My favorite time to go is around 3pm Mon-Fri. That gives my son 2 hours of uninterrupted play because it is usually very empty. His favorite part is definitely the grocery story. In there he can push around a basket thats perfectly his size. They also have a spaceship, bank, hospital and outside you can find water tables. Make sure to stop by the painting room! You can put an apron on your little one and let them get messy. Also, make sure you bring a change of clothes! If your child is anything like mine they will get soaked playing with the water tables.

Super fun for my 3 and 5 year olds

Not comparing this place to others but on its own, its clean, plenty to do, and the kids enjoyed themselves. Thats all that matters.

Great place for young kids to learn, explore and play!!

This is a wonderful place! We were given the tour of the area and not only is the kids museum and play area amazing... The venue is fantastic for hosting other events. Definitely looking forward to working with their team on future projects for the community!

The only thing keeping this from a 5 star review is the fact they they dont have wifi ️ But! We were there, 2 kids and I for 4 hours and loved it! The kids could have stayed even longer

Great place to bring the wife & kiddos on a rainy afternoon. Cheap, clean, imaginative fun!

My niece and nephew always have a great time here. There are a lot of different activities and places to use their imagination

My 4 year old loves this place and I love that it tires her out. I definitely recommend this place!!!

It was awesome. Kids loved it! The lady upfront was so sweet, theres even a nursing room which came in handy

An awesome doseum for kids of all ages especially on a rainy day

Very nice and spacious. My son was in view at all times. He had lots of fun.

My kiddos love coming here! There are plenty of areas to play in so it doesnt feel crowded and they never get bored. The outdoor water play is our favorite. Im taking off one star because adults must pay as well. If you have multiple kids, it would be great to have more than one adult but it comes at a price. However, staff is friendly and they do a great job of keeping things tidy.

The staff is amazing. Everythings clean. I have for three kids, ages 5, 2.5, and an infant, and we never want to leave. The new outside jungle gym is great because theres only one place they could possibly fall from and its not crazy high. Most of the outside area is shaded, too, which is fantastic in Texas. We could come 5 days a week and never be bored. Its well worth the money and the 40 minute drive.

The kids lasted a couple hours there before they were ready to move on. There isnt a massive amount to see and do there, but my kids interacted with most everything they had to offer and enjoyed themselves.

This was our first time here and it was great. Our 3year old son had a blast. So much to do and see. The entrance fee for 3 was $22.50 so not bad. We spent about two hours going throughout the place and our kid didnt know where to start...or end for that matter. Recommend this place for small kids and family. This is smaller in comparison to Doseum but just as fun.

Always so much fun to be had here. My son and I love the kitchen and camping areas, and the little grocery store is fun every time. Always clean, staff is friendly, and the new outdoor play area is great. Sometimes the water play feature works great, and sometimes it seems like there isnt enough water. Even then, everyone is having fun. Love the craft area as well. I take my little dude here everytime were in town. Bathroom could use a teeny bit of TLC more frequently throughout the day, but the facilities are in good working order, and mostly clean.

Great place to take kids. They love it. Lots of different things for kids to explore and play or learn from.

Great place to spend a couple of hours of fun with kids. Want to keep them entertained and exhaust a little bit those batteries, this is the right place for it.

Super cool place. We all had fun!

We love the wide variety of opportunities. The staff is extremely helpful. We look forward to our return.

For a good time and learning you need tp go to this place . They have just about anything a child or grown up for that matter may learn about ... banking, groceries, outer space, painting,crafts,and my favorite water area ... cost is just right, gift shop a little pricey but all in all very enjoyable.. im sure you will like it ......

Kept my kids entertained for hours. Especially the water tables outside.

Love this place. So does my grandchild. He loves this place. He loves museums. But he knows that at this museum he can let loose. Fun place for children.

This place was phenomenal! It had everything, even tho my 4 and 6 yr old only wanted to play with the water outside...they even accomodated my wife with a wheelchair and were so very excites to help us! Best staff ive ever come in contact with at a place for kids. Everything was clean and well maintained.

Very cute place for children to go. They hav alot of things for them to do and while they play they are learning

We are members. My kids love it here. They are always updating and making it better and novel for the kiddos. They frequently host special events of all kinds.My one complaint is the field trips from daycares or summer camps. The people watching the kids are generally very young /teenagers. They arent totally aware of the children at all times, and my kids have had a lot of problems with those group kiddos taking toys, pushing and shoving, and one instance a kid just dumped a bucket of water on my child and ran away laughing. I would request the museum be more stringent with their chaperone to child ratio and behavior expectations.

We brought our boys here on vacation, and the five year old STILL asks to go constantly despite it being hours away. There is so much for kids to do and explore. We spent hours following them around as they went from room to room exploring and touching everything. Their favorite was one of the first areas we visited: the air tube room. They had a blast putting yarn balls and scarves into the tubes and waiting to see where they would fly out. If we ever find ourselves on vacation in the area again, this will be on our itinerary. Probably more than once.

Great place. I dont think my daughter would have ever left. Tip. Take bathing suit or change of clothes for them. They get soaked in outdoor water area.

So great for littles of many ages and size! Id say optimal age would be 3-4 years old but my girlie of almost two absolutely loved it!

My kids absolutely loved this museum! The art room was my favorite but I think the outdoor water feature and jungle gym was their favorite. Compared to San Antonios Doseum, McKenna seems much better maintained and perhaps even better laid out. The whole thing is designed in a circle around a central baby area with benches for seating.I am knocking this down two stars due to the atmosphere and staff attitude. Even from our orientation I felt like we were intruders and slightly unwelcome. The kids were given a very long list of rules before being allowed to enter. They were not unreasonable rules, per se, but it was the attitude of the whole thing. Throughout the museum, McKenna had far fewer staff to help keep things running smoothly and tidy which I suppose is why they hammer the clean up after yourself rule so hard. Further, when I was in that art room I loved so much the staff member in there never spoke one word to me or my kids. Very awkward. Once again, I felt like we were intruding.

It was a lot of fun for the children. Definitely worth the membership price. Love that it has inside and outside play areas. Staff is so friendly. The only down side is a good amount of parents are not interacting with the children and are ignoring them so they are unsupervised some are sweet but some are really out of control.

What a fantastic place to take kids of all ages. Even has party rooms available. The best thing is there is lots for the kids to do that doesnt include arcade machines.

We had a great afternoon here. Our 5 year old loved all the make believe play. Its a childrens museum with lots of small versions of every day places where they can play. There is a bank, hospital, farm, etc. The outdoor area has a play scape and a large water table play area. The cost was reasonable for our family of 3,and we spent about 3.5 hours there.

Great price. Small crowds. Very interactive fun.

My little one absolutely loved it! Even at a year old, she loved going from room to room and playing pretend. And we absolutely adored watching her. Her favorite areas were the grocery shopping and the outdoor water area. Its great for younger kids because a lot of it is pretend or dress-up play; they dont have to think about or solve things like you do at other kids museums. We got so many cute pictures and cant wait to go back!

Took my 2 year old. Hours of fun. She had an absolute blast. Highly recommend and will be returning.

Great place for kids and tons to do. All sorts of areas for kids to pretend in different activities.

I enjoy taking my grandkids here. We enjoy crafting and arts together. The outdoor section is always fun and allows the kids to burn some energy.

Amazing, is all I have to say! My son loved it and so did I, he’s only 17 months so everything is perfect for his size!!! Not over packed, quiet and super clean! We will definitely be returning!

The best children’s place in San Antonio area. It has many activities for your children to enjoys indoor and outdoor. The favorite part indoor for my family which are robot, ball section, stem and air (tunnel) section. Outdoor are bubble and water section.

Great place. Interactive fun inside and outside for kids

This place is awesome, only issue was parents let there kids run wild and dont bother to correct them or watch them to busy on there phones.:(

My 2 yr old had a blast! They even had a mothers station where I could feed my newborn. Highly recommend.

Friendly staff, great place to bring the kids but it was too crowd.

Was nice. The little one liked it.

Great facilities and free parking. Excellent conferencing opportunity. Visited as a church venue and makes a really superb place for fellowship and worship.

Kids jad a great time. lots to do.

The themes are very well thought out and detailed. There are all sorts of activities for children to do, although the teaching aspect is fairly absent. Its more like a small amusement park for toddlers with facts geared more for adults.

Fun place for small children. Interactive grocery store with mini carts, foods and a deli a bank with money and a play area. They can paint like a artist and face paint. The space exhibit is a very good learning experience for the kids and the Dinosaur exhibit is great. The water table area was closed for remodeling but it looked like it would be alot of fun. A bit pricey at seven dollars a person but the kids had a great time.

My kids love this place. Staff is helpful and always picking up. My only complaint would be towards the parents that dont pick up after the kids.

Just right for Pre kinder and kindergarten classes... Would take my granddaughter back to this place

Kids loved it! Boys loved the water play outside and my daughter loved the dress up area and kitchen play. I wish they were around when I was a kid

Great place to spend a hot summer day. inside they have several different locations for the kids to play, the grocery store, doctors office and much more. Outside they have fun water activities and a little playground area.

Too good for toddler and babies and kids under 5 years of age. Staff real nice and helpful and clean place

Such a wonderful place to take the little ones... You dont have to worry about anything because its all kid friendly....

Absolutely wonderful place just big enough for the kids to run around and not to lose track of them while letting them play freely the indoors part is well air conditioned and the outdoor area is covered and full of neat things for you and the kids to do from the foam construction set to all the water devices theres water fountains to drink and well maintained restrooms.

Great place to bring the kids! The museum has several different sections the kids can play in to include a bank, grocery store, space ship and launch control, and even a prehistoric area with giant dinosaurs! They even had an outside area set up with a water tables and foam building blocks. We easy spent three hours there. This is a great family place to visit when in New Braunfels.

Our son had the time of his life playing here yesterday! I dont mind being charged admission as an adult which seems to be common complaint. Seems like the funds go to creating an awesome space for imaginative play♡ the staff were so friendly and welcoming and the space was warm and inviting. I loved that kids could roam free and toys were allowed to be moved from space to space. Free, creative, imaginative play is a beautiful thing. I wish we lived closer, we would be there all the time!

My kids loved it. They are ages 4, 7, and 10. I liked that there was a lot of open ended play options and they could use their imagination. The only negative I have is that the price is a little high.

My niece and nephews loved it here!
