My 3 and 5 year old kids loved this museum! It is very small, and low tech which does add to it's charm. They loved playing in the grocery store, and the bank. It definitely fuelled their imaginations. It was a rainy day so we didn't get to explore the pirate ship outside, but that also looked fun. The lady that was working there on the day we visited was very friendly too. We'll certainly visit again when we're in Boca.
A museum in Boca Raton that escaped my notice for over 10 years has finally come to my attention just in time. This children's museum is a little know gem that I wish I had known about a long time ago. Just took our almost 9 year old twins to this museum and they loved it. I don' think you would bring children much older than that to this gem but if you want to really have a special time with young ones in Boca Raton this is a great place to take those about 9 and under. They are trying to add more outside play equipment which right now is minimal, a boat is the one favored by our girls. The looks on the outside are deceptive, it looks like not much is going on inside but it packs a good deal in a small space and the price is right. If you are lucky you can even get a groupon offering for it as we did. In fact it was via groupon that we found out about this museum.
Great for young ones. Not too big so i stress about her wondering out of my sight for a minute. The staff are wonderful and they have great supplies. Cheap membership and my girls could go here every week if i let them
If you have kids or grandchildren visiting, take them there... they and you will be impressed. City of Boca should promote this more.
The museum is quaint like a small cottage with many rooms for children to play in. They get to dress up and every room has a theme. Very nice for small children 1-5 yrs old max.
I brought my daughters here and everything was dirty and out dated. The staff were not very friendly with the children and watched us like hawks like we were criminals! When we went outside to get away from the staring we found the pirate ship, but in disrepair with signs of caution and huge nails sticking out of the ship where a child could get hurt. In desperate need of a re-haul! We will not be going again.
Dingy, not very many toys... We were done in about 15 minutes. My daughters favorite part was the grocery store. Very out of date.
I know the rest of the reviews have been bad but this is a really cute place. My daughter is 3 and we bought the groupon deal and it was well worth it. She played for over 2 hours there! Yes, some of the stuff is old like dress up clothes but she didn't play with them. The staff there is pleasant and likes kids. I would recommend you give it a shot
My girlfriends and I took the kids to the museum today. The ladies at the front desk were an absolute pleasure and there was so much for the kids to do! I will be back again...
My kids absolutely LOVE the Children's Museum in Boca. It is so charming with lots of hands-on activities. So special!
