When I saw this place together with my two kids, I was encouraged to let them play alone for I knew that the place was safe. I was enjoyed watching them for they were wearing gear as a scientist and they were able to use the toy apparatus for the experimentation. I could conclude that my kids are really good. I was so appreciative! You make this game great learning yet enjoyable!

Fun place to visit with the little guy. Usually not very crowded on weekdays and a good place to make new friends. We started coming here when he was 13 months. Staff are always friendly. Taking a star off because many of the exhibits seem pretty dated and need of an update. At the same time that’s kind of what gives the museum some of its charm (you feel like you are going back in time). They seem to take care of what they have as most everything is in good working order.

I feel why I missed to visit this place earlier..may be because of my little one.This place is just next to the Space Needle downtown Seattle, and have very different experience of commute using monorail if you decide to take transit..I loved the way the things are organized and the things they included in museum is mix of all flavours which kids from any family might like it doing at home daily..say it playarea with slides and puzzles..a fan of cooking.. fan of shopping ...a stage performer .. have interest in trying hands on with been doctor..fire fighter..postman.. transit driver..I am sure you kid must be doing one of this if they are between 1-10 yrs which is the restrictions of this museum on kids age allowed here..Being a parent I think we also get a chance to explore things and places like this.I would definitely recommend you or your friends to visit this place and have kids have blast of the world live in there mind..Again thanks for those who built in such effective way.Price?? Not much compared to the fun your kid will have over there..

Closed during Covid though there was no mention on the website, allowed us to purchase tickets for $36 and no way of contacting the company for a refund. Incredibly rude and inconvenient when trying to plan a family fun trip. Seriously why would it not mention this on the website or even when you call?? Would not recommend.

Fun filled activities for kids of all ages. My nephew had super fun here. They have kid version of opticians, super market, cages where kids can dress up like doctor, fireman, construction worker. They have many activities planned for kids as well like story telling, basket weaving, bracelet making etc.

My son had a wonderful time visiting the childrens museum. It was easy to fine. We paid 20 dollars for parking because I didnt know about the 1 dollar parking at a garage near by. Luckily, we have a membership thanks to a friend but I feel that it is way overpriced, especially considering that the parents are just going for their kids.This center is fun and educational and offers children a variety of ways to grow and learn about the world in a fun way. I love that they provide activities throughout the day like storytime and yoga as well.The museum we clean and well laid out and the staff were all very cordial.

We took our almost two year old here and he enjoyed it. There was a variety of rooms and activities. A few of the rooms looked like a tornado had come through, but the staff seemed to be on top of the cleaning up. The mountain area was really interesting. Pricing seemed reasonable.

Love the Seqttle Childrens Museum. Great for kids 6 and under so many activities to keep your child busy and happy. Play the 1st ANNUAL Community Zone Treasure Hunt.

We saw this museum on Blippys youtube channel and thought it would be amazing to visit! So we drove up from central oregon just to see it. 1. Personally not worth the drive. 2. A lot of the make believe areas lacked play items ( we were sure to ask if it was stocked before we bought the tickets and was told it was fully stocked! ). 3. Too expensive for the lack of play items, the playground outside was way more entertaining and it was FREE. The museum is cute for super little kids. My daughter just turned 4 and got board pretty quick. My son is 8, and thought it was okay. It took us about an hour to do everything in the museum. It cost over $80 for 2 adults and 2 kids. Wish we put it towards another museum in the area.... best of luck if you try it out.

There are so many fun places for my son to explore here. He loves going here.

This place is a lot of fun! I did not plan my visit well, so we did not get to see everything that they offer. But if I lived in Seattle locally, I would find it a great place to spend the weekend with the kids.

We are members here. We love visiting this place and interacting in the museum. I would recommend for kids under 6yo. There are great daily activities for the kids to be hands on. I wish they would update and refresh some of the exhibits.

We spent a solid few hours playing around in the Seattle Childrens Museum. My kids are both 3, and loved all the different spaces they could interact in and play. Theyre favorite spaces were the different countries and cultures area, especially Japan with the train car, the traditional house set up, and cool vending machine, as well as the forest area. Well definitely come back and play again another day.

Fun family safe environment! Great staff lots of things to do for children and parents together. Myself and family recommends childrens museum and the cost of from $2 - $12 per person.

Absolutely adored this place! Fun learning experience with hands on activities

Maybe its because I havent been to other childrens museums, but my 18-months old toddler and I really enjoyed our two hours there. The exhibits/toys are old and need a makeover no doubt, but its not that bad.

Staff are very nice, children have many professional play choice, it’s also suitable for infant.

Its fine, but a little tired and run down. The multicultural section could use some more manipulative as well. Its a shame they dont share reciprocity with other museums. Parking in the area is also very expensive.

Awesome place for kids, 15 month old love running around and playing with toys, although I believe she will get more out of it when shes a bit older. Tons of rooms and culture! Overall a great experience for all!

Love this place! My grand kids always have a great time! The open ended scenes creates plenty of room for creativity. Start with the creative art station so your artwork can dry while you play. A great place to play for 2-3 hours.

Clean, friendly, what a great facility. Giving children an opportunity to see how their heros operate on a daily basis. Should be more places like this all over the world. Thank you

I think the place was OK. My 2.5 yrs old had much fun. Its a one time visit worth place. I am guessing children above 5 yr wont enjoy it so much. around half the toys and equipment were old and worn

Lots of fun for the little ones! They wanted to stay and play past three hours despite being completely worn out. Very nice and friendly staff. Food court upstairs with seasonal displays and entertainment.

Great set up, but not enough stuff for the kids to handle. Lots of broken, lost, or heavily used pieces that havent been replaced. The birthday party hosts did a great job of assisting with our party and we got our room early so set up was easy.

My family had a great time exploring all of the great themes. My child love the theater the best. There he was able to use his imagination and dress up.

So much fun for the WHOLE family!!

What a great place to spend a few hours with your little one. There is a breastfeeding room, plenty of space and things to play with, kids have a blast. Went there today to blow a few hours before nap time and my 16 month old had a great time running around and playing with other kids. There are clearly areas for bigger kids and some areas that are specifically set aside for the little ones so that they dont get run over.Totally love it. A total gem in the heart of the city.

Great place to take your kids, especially on a rainy afternoon. Because we are EBT recipients we were able to get in for a very low cost. If we had to pay the full price, however, I could see being frustrated with the cost. You have to pay for kids once they are over 12 months, but under are free.

My child had a blast! This is a great place to take your kids about 10 and under.

Fun place for kids to explore and discover. truly hands on. Lots of opportunities for kids to make new friends

On an outing to Space Needle, my 3 and 4 year old granddaughters caught sight of the Children’s Museum from the Armory food court. They HAD to go. They explored every nook and corner and thoroughly enjoyed. What impressed Nana the most was the staff. They treated the girls as special guests, with true enthusiasm and delight in sharing their experience. Thank you !

Great place for little ones. Weather they are interested in the great outdoors, learning about cogs and machines, seeing homes from other cultures, or just the giant Brio train room, they will have a blast here.

From the armory, you can view the glamorous outdoorsy section of the museum. Its centrally located, with a bunch of smaller themes sections around it. The majority of the other sections felt... dingy and old. But the kiddo loved it all!There was a sign posted explaining the different monthly themes, but there was absolutely zero themed displays or decorations. Probably something they once started and just havent kept up with - which matches the condition of most of the displays and objects.I was impressed with the town which was a bunch of small themed stores (post office, fire station, grocery store, burger cafe, eye glass store, and theatre) each of which had a mailbox for someone fully committed to the post office experience. Some of the stores had outfits to wear as well. Lots of interactive play and objects that can be played with.The worst were the homes from around the world. The first one felt like a third-world home cop-out because of how used and shoddy everything was. In fact, the best one was because a display was obviously busted and the kids could get access to the food bits to play with (the rest is behind plastic, preventing actual play). The few items kids could play with were severely limited in quantity and in really poor condition.Honestly, I dont think its worth a membership. This is once-a-quarter trip worthy, and Groupon has amazing deals on single visits.

My 12 month old son LOVES this place. First time we went, he was so happy and excited. The

The word museum does not reflect this place at all. But thats ok.Was pleasantly surprised to find the biggest area Ive ever seen for kids to play house/dress-up. Our kids had a blast!

Lots of hands on learning and interesting things to see and do! They even have a place to park strollers. Being that it is located in the the Armory, there is plenty of choices for meals. The only drawback is that its a long walk from parking.

I feel the museum is much suitable for the kid under 5yrs old. Its called a childrens museum but they charged both to adults and kids. Dont make sense to me. It will be better if they have instructors at each section to guide, instruct the children and maintain the orders but they did not.

Lots of areas for kids to explore, but many areas were lacking toys to interact with (train table had maybe 5 train cars total). We were here for a birthday and had a great time, I just expected it to be better stocked.

My child loved it here she has so many different ares made just for her

Fun place to bring the kiddos. My wife and I came out to Seattle by our self’s and wanted to see inside here. It was Saturday and they usually don’t do an your on the weekend because the staffing is lower. The lady still decided to take a couple of minutes and show us anyway. Great customer service and well be back with our 4 kiddos!

Great!!..And the robotics the Seattle Rot Battles

Thought there would be more to do considering how big the place is but the kids seemed to have fun.

For the price this was not worth it. Its too expensive for how much we paid. It was $31 WITH a coupon. It was cute with the exhibits, but half the things were broken. They only have one floor. All you do I role play in a grocery store, some woods, and like a village with different cultures. It was fun, but skip it and go to the pop museum instead.

Love this place!!! So much for little ones to do! The hours just fly by! I dont think we have ever done Everything in one day... theyve got different little craft rooms and always have different little activities to do. My son and I made a little clay sculpture, theyve got every type of arts and crafts a kiddo could ask for! Theyve got numerous exhibits, and I think its monthly, that theres a specialized exhibit that changes.

Great place to take kids for some indoor fun. If the weather is nice the roof top playground is fun for older kids. Wish there was a smaller section that would be good for toddlers though.

This place small. And kids under 4 might have fun but not so entertaining for older kids. And it’s in need of a major remodeling.

Low maintenance. Old facilities. My bigger kids, 5 and 7, were pretty bored there. Small size museum for the money they ask. No convenient parking next to the museum and the public one is really expansive.

Wonderful childrens museum! Came with my kids 6 months to 5 years old and there was something for everyone. Lots of play and pretend areas for dress up and exploring. A whole market to shop in, optometrist office and stage! Even an international area with homes from different cultures. Fun toys you dont have around youre own house including some for building. We played all day and would come again tomorrow, definitely recommend with little kids. Also a lovely nursing room and thoughtful bathrooms aimed at families and little kids.

Great place to take the kids as the name would suggest. Kids had fun and so did the parents. Not a all day place but a good way to pass a couple of hours and entertain the kids.

Small on the first look this museum could take the whole day to explore.It has few theme sections each of which is interesting and has loots to do.

My 3 year old nephew is obsessed with this place. Anytime he comes to visit we go here. He has sensory issues but because there is so much you can do here any kid can find something he/she can find to enjoy. Definitely worth a visit if you have a kid in your life.

Could use more activities. Had to pay full price for my child (1.5) who spent a lot of time watching other kids play. Only 2 trains on the train set. Only one car. Only one control station in the theater. Visit the world in make believe houses - nothing to do but look & imagine. The mini grocery with plastic fruit was nice & hands on, but as one of the few hands-on exhibits it was crowded. The 0-3 play area is largely decorative with only a couple things to play on- so if theres more than two tots there its occupied.

While it has been a vwry long time, I will always remember this place, full of fun, educational, and exciting experiences!

Lots of fun for the kids. Enough to keep a family of 4 occupied for a couple hours.

It may be a large space, but felt smaller than other kids museums weve been to because a lot of the rooms were kind of empty. The cultural exhibits could really benefit from more toys for the kids to engage with, rather than just reading and visual displays. Ultimately it only took us about 1.5 hours to go through everything.

Coolest place to hangout with your kids

Overrated. Not a museum.Its just an imaginary play place in the neighborhood for small kids to play pretend with pretend buildings and structures in a small pretend town. Its nice and cool for childrens imagination but only if theyre well maintained and cleaned on regular basis.Most handles and playthings are sticky to touch. Costumes arent clean. They stink and they are left all over the floor and around pretend stage.

Best place for kids birthday party. Staff was super helpful and friendly

Great place for the kids of any ages to explore and be kids... even the adults with a kids heart will enjoy and have fun.

Absolutely loved it. My 3 yr old had a great time. And we would love to come back again

I like it,but there are places (from the entry to the right) a little abandoned :(

Great placr to take the kids

I am originally from San Diego, CA and was in Seattle for vacation and my girls were amazed with this museum. They loved it and the staff was very nice. The museum was big and it had such great role plays that were just like in real life. My favorites were the Market shopping and the Mail station it was so much fun. When we are in Seattle again we will definately go again. Great experience for kids.

The best place for kids! Hours of fun.

Great fun for the littles. Different from my home town Portland Childrens Museum but not in a bad way. Both have their perks. The building room here was awesome and was fun for a long time. Best perk is that it is so close to the other things I wanted to do today. It is also connected to an awesome food court with great restaurants.

I brought a 2 year old and a 5 month old. The staff were really kind and great at interacting with the kids. I loved that there were gates areas, so I didnt have to shadow my 2 year old the entire time. If you have babies, the museum is excellent because the noise of the other kids is loud enough that a baby crying isnt out of place. Extremely stroller accessible, and there were nursing rooms for moms as well.

My child had fun which was what really mattered. We thought it was a bit overpriced. Everything was pretty dated and seemed to be falling apart. I think we also expected it would be a little bit bigger. They should spend some money, renovate and modernize it then kids would have more fun.

Many restaurants inside. When i visit, it was packed with university graduation ceremony students.

I had high expectations going in considering its in Seattle center. Unfortunately it was pretty run down. Probably wont be going back.

Absolutely love it here! If you are a caregiver of any sort that needs a fun, imaginative place to take kiddos, this is it. Even I have fun there. The staff is wonderful, its clean, they have story time and events and its right next the the center fountain, armory for food and the play ground. Go!

The worst childrens museum ever.... Im from Mexico and even there the childrens museums are much better. There are not activities and basically are empty rooms with carpets. I never Ill be back.

Love taking my kids here. They always have a blast. Wish I could get more discounts would visit more often.

Fun and educational play experience. Provides interactive and creative displays.

This museum is very dated. It is still the same as I remember it as a kid. There are a lot of role play areas which could be fun for some kids, but there are not a lot of toys or props to role play with especially in the multicultural houses that take up a huge part of the museum. It would be great if they updated it to include more interactive hands on activities like the surrounding childens museums in Olympia, Bellevue and Everett etc. My 3 sons ages 10, 7 and 4 took less than one hour to go through everything and they were asking to leave. At the Hands on Museum in Olympia, we were there for close to 4 hours and they still didnt want to leave.The bathrooms had kid friendly size door handles, toilets and sinks which is really appreciated.I think it is more fun for little ones under 3 because there are some designated areas for them.

This place treats its employees of color with NO respect. I will never return.

This is a great museum for young kids, they offer some free tickets through the library.My son just love this place .. he can spend whole day here playing from one station to another. Seems clean. We definitely had fun!All of the staff and facility experiences have been positive, consistently every time.

Maybe other cities childrens museums have spoiled me, but this was kind of a bust. 18k sqft sounds like a lot, but it has lots of mostly empty spaces with a pile of toys or blocks. We loved the live music, otherwise it was just ok. My three year old doesnt even want to go back.

This place is fun for pretty much all ages of children. My 11 month old had tons of fun in the discovery cove section. The also have a really great art room that we really enjoyed.

It was ok, but after about 2 hours my two year old was bored.

Went here a lot as a kid, and it was always fun. Im hoping to bring my kids here when theyre old enough.

Great place to take kids to!For kids of all ages..Visit miniature stores & establishments, and dress your kids in mini uniforms!

They have activities for all ages, even feeding room for the new borns. Very inexpensive compared to other kids places plus they ha e a/c

We love this place, but its been getting kind of run down. It seems to me they arent putting the money theyre making back into upkeep of the different exhibit/play areas. Many devices and buttons dont function like theyre supposed to, like they once did, and its sad to see. Youd think for $12 a person theyd be able to afford fixing stuff.

This place is awesome! Staff was super friendly and all the play stations are great for kids, lots of entertainment. Super recommend this place.

It felt like the hands on parts were lacking. Lots of awesome displays but not as much interaction as some of the others like Everett and Portland CMs

Great place to spend time with the kiddos... Lots of fun activities to keep them going for hours.

I come here on a weekly basis with a toddler kid, because why not when it is located within walking distance and when their annual membership is a pretty good deal? Staff are always friendly and welcoming. A ton of fun activities to do. Also a good place to meet and interact with other kids/families. Being inside Seattle Center, you can easily take a break at the food court upstairs and come back in to play some more. If you want to avoid the crowds, try to be here in late afternoon during the week.

Very hands on, perfect for young kids, art room for them to create. Easy access bathrooms, room for stroller parking. Very pleasant and helpful staff.

We took our 18 month old and had a blast. The play area for the little kids is perfect for toddlers and young children. The mini community inside was so cute and interactive. I highly recommend!

Really cool place to take your younger kids! My 20 month old loved it and didn’t want to leave! More then one bathroom facility, stairs and elevators, and food court on the floor above!

It’s pretty pricey but it’s great for kids. My daughter had a blast.

There is a lot for little ones to see, touch, learn and discover! Our three year old and almost one year old had a great time and did not want to leave!

Visited here with my two children, aged five and one, last year when we first moved to Seattle and was looking for things to do. Frankly, I was underwhelmed, considering the time and cost it took to drive to downtown, find parking, ride the monorail, etc.Many of the displays were missing parts or broken, the “world village” was more of a ghost town and had nothing to interact with.When we went, the place was filled with barely-supervised school field trip kids that were swarming the few areas not broken. All in all, we spent maybe 40 minutes there. Certainly not worth the effort and cost to get there. The most enjoyable part was riding the monorail to and from the museum.Maybe they’ve updated it since we visited. But I won’t be returning any time soon.

My kid loves this place. Its perfect for rainy day. Kids can spend hours here. You need to monitor your kids much, its very safe place.

Only problem was the low lighting made it difficult to get good pictures of my little one playing.

My kids had such a blast! Very convenient location in the lower floor of the food court. Perfect for taking my younger children to go play while the older teenagers hung out at the tables upstairs.

My daughter loved the childrens museum. I havent been there since I was a kid myself. Im sorry to the lady in the town center I know that was an incredibly stinky fart.

I just come today to bring my kids to play at this place. I was not happy at all on the changes they did on restrooms. I not against nobody but they need to have restrooms for man women and both sex restrooms.

Variety of activities for kids of all ages. Airways a great time.

A little weird, old and grungy. Kids enjoyed the little supermarket experience.
