The best choice for Miami families.
Jan 2020
I ususally visit this place at least twice a month. This is a great place for family entertainment experience as well as to bring knowledge and learning to my daughter. She really love this place. One interesting note: I really like how local companies contributed to built pavillions to allow kids to play about healthcare, supermarket, etc using local branding recognition and adding some "product placement" with their brands, this is so smart and kids love it. 100% recommended.

Day of fun
Feb 2020 • Family
We have never been here. I've lived in the area for 6 years an have always wanted to go. My girls are 8 and 10. They had more fun running through each level and looking at each station , more than actually playing in them. They were amused by each area an thought it was cool but they only played in a few areas. We were done in 2 hours. If they were ages 5 to 7 or so , it prolly would've been more fun interaction for them. They had fun fishing , jumping on huge floor piano , the slide , and shopping in the small publix and making me suns at the little deli. They ran through most of it. Their favorite part was the rock climbing wall. They spent like 20 to 30 min there. There was no line. It was 4 dolars a kid. That was a good price I thought. It was fun an cute but I think mine would've had more fun at the science museum cuz of their age and their interest. After the 2hiurs of running through it and basically skimming by each room, they were ready to leave for chuckie e cheese. It was nice. I didnt think it was run down at all. I didnt think anything was unclean. It looked very well.kept up with. Nothing was broken that I noticed even though we didnt do too much interaction. But I thought it was really well done. I'm sure if you're from a huge city this may be small for you but this was our first time ever at a children's museum so I have nothing to compare it too. They had 2 different outdoor playgrounds. One is by the entrance and the other is only entered through the museum's door , inside the museum, just for the other playground.

My daughter loved it!
Dec 2019
It isn't perfect, but my daughter had a blast. Some elements were not working, and the pricing is a little high, especially for a 19 mo. However, there was something for kids of all ages. We loved the music wing, which was highly interactive. Many of the art activities come at an additional charge. You can easily entertain a kid for hours, so pack accordingly.

Great time with a toddler
Dec 2019 • Family
On a day too cool for the beach, during a 4-day visit to see my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter in Miami, my daughter and I took advantage of “mini Monday” at the children’s museum. It was our first visit and we were thrilled with the exhibits. There was so much for a very busy toddler to do! From the fishing boat to the art and music games to the model supermarket to the building and construction unit, we were all kept engaged for hours. There is a Subway restaurant for lunch. The souvenir shop was also a big hit with the baby who loves poring over books as my daughter read to her. The next day the baby asked to return to the museum.

Fantastic
Nov 2019
Went with my 3 year old granddaughter. It was completely interactive! We stayed 4 hours and probably could have stayed longer. Be sure to get an activity schedule when you come in. Military discount is half price! There is a Subway on site. The only drawback was parking for which you must pay although it is not expensive.

Overpriced, poorly maintained facility
Nov 2019 • Family
Decided to spend a rainy day at the children’s museum. A lot of the exhibits were broken or not accessible to children. Seemed quite run down and dirty. The only place for food was Subway and the staff there were incredibly rude to us and other customers. We left with the thought we would never be returning to this museum.

A lot of fun
Oct 2019
The kids had a lot of fun! There is so much to do and the kids can be very creative. We went on a Sunday, right when they opened and it was not busy until a few hours later. Kids were able to try out everything without having to wait. Great place.

Great fun and educational day
Oct 2019 • Family
Always an amazing day! I came here for the first time with my 1st child 6 years ago and now with my last one. Great for younger kids 2-8 yo always . They have a lot of creative and educational toys and activities . Also they separate all the first floor in various themed rooms like supermarket hospital vet firetruck etc.great way to spend a fun and active time with your little one .
Please fix some switches here and there that don't work anymore it was so much fun

Is there a coat/baggage check? We would be coming from a cruise and would like to visit the Museum before going to the airport, so we'll have our all of luggage with us.

Kind of early for total understanding, but if part of a family, why not! Early exposure, except for noise should not hurt. More so, as I think infants enter free of charge.

No, it's not enough. 2:30 to 3 hours should be good.

Na verdade, a pergunta é quanto tempo vc tem para deixar os pequenos brincarem. O lugar tem varias atividades, é possivel ficar varias horas. Como não tem nada para comer por perto, e eu nao sabia disso, isso no meu caso limitou um pouco nosso tempo lah. Mas se vc for preparada é possivel ficar bastante tempo por lah.
