We thought it was really fun! My 5 and 9 year old would have stayed for hours longer if we'd had the time. Granted it was a ghost town when we attended but there was alot to do. There are two levels packed with things that inspire them to use their imagination and creativity. It was very reasonably priced as well. We especially liked the dried bean dino dig, lego area and puppet show area.
great place for kids. upstairs gets little warm in summer, but other wise kids had lots of fun! My sons enjoyed the legos upstairs and my little girl liked all the dress up stuff they had downstairs.
I love taking my kids here, and they love to be here. They would live here if they could! There's always something for everyone to do. Even I can have fun. It's always hard to convince the kids to leave.
This isn't really a children's museum as much as it is a toddlers play area. Our little one loved it and could have stayed much of the day. This is not really a place to bring older children as they would get bored quickly. The only thing I was disappointed with was some of the toys were quite dirty and need cleaning. We just avoided those things.
I didn't like that the parent has a admission charge. Most things were not working and my kids kept walking around trying to find entertainment. Good concept, just needs updated and more interactive items. Good for 1-3 ages.
This was a fun place for my 1 and 2 year olds to play, but I wouldn't really consider it a museum. At least 15 different play stations all hands-on. My 2 years could spend hours there.
I took my three children here to get out of the house, ages 1, 6, and 7. This museum or daycare center as it looks. Is horrible! Dirty everywhere, most items from the little areas were not there at all, areas closed off due to remodeling or whatever, staff rude, power tools left out and plugged in within a child's play area where they could be reached, and the list goes on. Skip the museum and just go to the Gibson park in town!
The Children's Museum of Montana has fantastic staff and lots of activities for kids of many ages, from dress-up, to playing pirate or sailor or banker, to Lego. There's also a cafe for the parents, although I haven't tried it yet.
It was a good place for smaller kids. My teen enjoyed it and was polite, but I could tell from the look on her face that it was not really set up for her age level.
Needs some cleaning up and more friendly staff. The two staff members working very rude and just glared at everyone. The lady working the front desk was very rude and snappy towards everyone. I am sure this is because we interrupted what she was doing on the computer in the back room. The toys are outdated and I was actually worried about my kids possibly getting sick. I didn't allow my children to play with all the dress up clothes in fear of the lice breakout that I had read about in GF. Was not worth the $30 I spent to take my kids.
