  My four year old Grandson had hours of fun. The staff was helpful and friendly. They pack a lot in a small space.

  The Fond du Lac Children's Museum was a good stop on a rainy afternoon. I liked the open layout, which permits parents to rest in a central location and watch their children as they explore freely. My preschooler had a blast and could have played all day. Her favorite exhibits were the pizzeria and the shadow gallery. But my older children (8 & 10) blew through the exhibits and lost interest in about an hour. I figured this would happen, as they are accustomed to visiting large, urban museums. What was unique about this experience, however, was that all guests were invited to a special STEM class in a separate room. It amounted to a simple craft, again geared towards a younger crowd. Even so, it was a neat option. And it seems as though these classes occur regularily in some variety. We all agreed that the museum is a great addition to this small-town community.

  Paying $6 for a one year old who cannot do much here was not worth it. Its only free for under one, I think this should be under two. Make sure you know there is a membership as the girls at the front desk do not tell you and were not friendly. Yes it is posted, but lets face it when you have kids to deal with its hard to have to read this, especially with all the other people in line to pay. We found out after we already had paid $24 dollars to get in and paid for a class there. They said sales are final, to me this is not nice and made our decision to not go back easier. My kids had fun, but there were a lot of areas that were dangerous and so you have to really watch your kids. Some stuff was dirty like they don't wipe things down and some things did not even work. I expected more learning things to play with.

  The building is brighter and cleaner than the old museum. The additional floor space makes it much easier to navigate. Unfortunately, many of the same attractions were just transported to the new location. Disappointing were the Montreal radio station which still doesn't work and the station where you should be able to shoot golf balls through a maze of tubes. The one ball available got stuck and no more were available. (Lost?) Very friendly staff and a nice but rather uninspiring outdoor area. I wouldn't suggest for children over 8 or 9.

  My daughter(2.5) LOVED the pizza parlor and my older nephews were happily entertained for a long time by a wall mounted, customizable "marble" type maze. Overall, I would say its geared toward quite young children and im pleased to say I just heard they added a nursing area within the museum!

  I have to say this is the first time I have been to the childrens museum in fond du lac. I went with my son who is 3 and two nephews who are 2 and 3. The boys had a blast. There was a lot to keep them busy. We literally spent the whole day there. I would definately go back again. I thought it was very safe and kid-friendly. It is not as big as the childrens museums in Appleton or Milwaukee but it also wasnt as crowded either. I would encourage others to check it out.

  While space is limited the plans to update and expand will be welcome to Fond Du Lac. I feel it is a bit pricey for a smaller town and an expensive place to take your child to play for it's limited offerings.

  We took our 2.5 year old son here last weekend in an effort to beat cabin fever! Price is $6 per person. There was a toddler area with a smaller slide for little ones. There is also supposed to be a train set to play with - the table was there but there were no trains for the little guy to play with. Another exhibit is supposed to let you build a "track" that you can roll a ball down. There were no balls for the track. My son really liked the exhibit that allowed you to move bricks around on a conveyor belt. There is an outdoor area, but I cannot comment on it since it was too cold to go out there. It was a fine place for an hour or two of fun BUT, I know the Children's Museum in Appleton is about $1 per person more and has easily twice the amount of things to do. If you are really looking for a day of fun, make the drive up there. It is much more worth it.

  My 15 month old daughter and I visited the museum with a friend and her two children (ages 3 and 5). All of the kids had a really good time! There is a designated area for infants/toddlers with a gate. All the toys in this area are soft and there's even a slide for the little ones! The museum also has a puppet room, craft room and pizzeria with play ovens and pizza. Although on the small side, we had a lot of fun playing here and ended up spending a couple of hours at the museum. This is a nice way to spend the day if you're looking for indoor entertainment!
