We get a family membership every year in the wintertime, and have had 2 birthday parties at the Childrens Play Gallery. We are huge fans! The museum is constantly changing with new activities, the staff is super friendly, and their cleaning procedures are very thorough (which I appreciate as a germaphobe parent). We had an outstanding experience with both birthday parties we held here. They took care of all the decorating, cleanup, and facilitated activities and gift opening. Highly recommended.

This place is always well-kept, clean, never insanely busy, and they do a great job mixing new activities in with the classics.

I cant recommend this place enough! Our first time today and will definitely be back! Lots to do. Probably best for kids 8 and under. Very clean. You can bring in outside food. They have a designated area to eat. Our 6 year old daughter had a blast!

Very fun place for kids to visit and the prices are cheap and theres a nice variety of restaurants and shops nearby to grab a bite to eat or a nice cup of coffee. The staff are really great people too. If youre in the area, take your kids there to release some of their energy, especially for the younger, hyperactive kids.

This was a great play place for a cold winter day! As an adult I enjoyed myself. Its clean, no bad music etc.

This place is the perfect place for your little one (5 and under) to play the day away! It has so many different options for all types of kiddos--pirate ship playground, play kitchens, tree house, art area, builders corner... To name a few! No shortage of fun to be had here. The adults can relax on the comfy couches spread out throughout the facility. The owners added special touches such as a distance map to mark visitor locales and magazines for adults to read. Also, they let you leave and come back on the same day! We grabbed lunch next door and came back for more fun! Truly special addition to downtown Oconomowoc!

Wow, this place is awesome and perfect for winter; when you cant go outside much. They have something to do for babies that crawl/walk to kids. My crew was 6yr olds and they totally loved it. They had fun on the cool pirate ship that has a slide, the post office that has mail to distribute; along with a mail box and mail bag. They have an art center to create and paint. Also, a stage w/costumes and a construction/building area. One child of mine loved building her own Lego derby car and racing me down the track! Tons to do and bring your snacks to eat in the upper eating area.

My son loves this place! Its very clean and well organized. Staff are super friendly. Theres a place upstairs were you can eat a packed lunch. The exhibits rotate and change with the season. Connecting door to the coffee shop next door. Nice walking path and park in the back if you want to make a day of it. Would rate more stars if I could! We go almost weekly!

The kids love this place because it has different toys, a big ship to play inside & a slide. There is a lake in front of it which is nice to see. There is also a playground next to it.

This is an amazing place. Sunshine or rainy days. It’s so clean and they mix up the toys and activities to keep it fun. As grandparents, a membership is a must and makes a great gift! The staff is wonderful also and always make the children and us very welcome.

Fun place to take kids as it is the only indoor place to take kids in the area. For two kids under 5 it cost $21.50 which it more expensive than other places we have been.

Review №21

Really clean! The kids will think its the best place on earth. For adults with a lot of little kids hard to keep them together.

Review №22

I went here with children ages 1-7, and it had a great variety of play areas that engaged all of them. The arts center was really neat - the kids can paint at easels, create on their own, or follow directions for specific projects. There are areas for music, building, trains, theater, and so much more. There is a small area for eating on the second level with a vending machine. The bathroom was clean and had a small toilet that is easy for little ones to use. We could easily have spent all day here and not been bored!

By far my favorite indoor place to take my kids. Their exhibits/play spaces are educational, encourage creative play, and the entire gallery is clean and bright. They have rotating/seasonal exhibits so kids can play with something new each time they go.Their story time was stellar and included puppets and props to keep the younger ones interested.I wish there was one closer to Milwaukee!

We looove this place! There are so many options and places to play, and for a great price! Weve been to several places like this but nothing can top the giant pirate ship my son spent two hours playing in. I also loved: friendly staff, ability to bring my own food and drinks, and the overall cleanliness.

Awesome place to take the kids, there is SO much for them to do here. Great area upstairs to sit and eat your own lunch. Isnt cheap but the passes are worth it if youre planning to go often.

Review №43

Absolutely wonderful place for children of all ages. You get to access all day with your receipt. So if you need to stop home for a little nap for your kids, you can bring them back for more playing afterwards. Toys are surprisingly clean. High quality toys, very educational and creative play. It is like a smaller version of Betty Brinn museum, right here in Oconomowoc!

Review №47

I will be honest. At first I had sticker shock at $10 to get my 1 year son in I was skeptical at best. At first glance, it didnt look like much but as we got in and my son ventured into the different areas I was pleasantly surprised. There were only about 15 kids but I saw 3 workers at one point putting toys away and cleaning them. There were bins for toys that had gotten dirty and plenty of space for kids to run and play. The only thing that was strange to me as a mom were the outlets. Every where I turned there was an exposed outlet at perfect kid level with no protectors. None of the kids seemed to even notice as I think there was too much to do. My son had a blast and I would definitely go again. Even though he wore out after about 1.5 hours I do think we got our moneys worth.

Love some of the unique play options. Seems like a mini childrens museum. Right on the water with a coffee shop next door so those are pluses. Dont really cool art studio, theater stage with costumes, trucks/trains, giant pirate ship and more.Tip: park by the water as there is no entrance off the street.

Very impressed with the amount of activities available for children to interact with here. The staff was helpful when spills took place. When we visited there were children here from a few months old to late elementary school and there was plenty for everyone to do.

Review №56

Just to clarify; this is an indoor playground that you pay to have your kids play in. This is not a daycare to drop your kid off at, as you have to watch them yourself. That being said the staff makes an effort to keep the place taken care of and they activly remove toys that have been put in mouths to have them washed. There is a story area, pirate ship, tree house, vet area, construction area, grocery store, kitchen, stage, craft area and a few more areas that change fron time to time. A wonderful place to take little people in winter to burn off energy. Also connected to roots coffee bar so you can sneak off quick for a caffeine pick-me-up.

Great place for infants up to about age 11...perfect for 4-7 year olds. So much imaginative play opportunities. Safe and clean environment.Plan on being here at least a couple hours, way more if you have friends along for your child to have a playdate with. Food can be brought in and eaten up on the 2nd floor.
