Lots of fun for the little ones ( and the not so little ones, too). The back room tends to stay fresh and change every so often.
I have been there with my baby she was playing and so happy is you go there with your family your kids will be so happy and they spend wonderful time
Took my 2 year old son to the Flint Children's Museum (FCM). This place is amazing. It's not large like our hometown children's museum, the National Children's Museum, but it is sooooo much better. FCM is creative, innovative, educational and fun. The outside garden had water games, sand, a vegetable garden, hula hoops, and was just relaxing!!! This is a Must for young and older children. !! We lucked out and visited on $2 Tuesdays. Look forward to visiting again!!
We have a 2 1/2 yr old and a 10 month old. We couldn't have asked for more. They played and had a good time. There aren't a ton of exhibits, but it seems just the right amount for the age it's aimed at. They also have an outdoor garden which you can work and pick in season, and we got to take home a couple carrots. There's a toddler area specifically for those under 3 as well, so even babies aren't left out. For such a cheap price, we got a great amount of entertainment.
I took my 11 year old and 5 year old....they both had a great time and didnt want to leave!I love encouraging the imaginative, and educational play. Prices are great, facility is clean, and the kids just had a great time in a scaled down town. They had a stage with curtains, and costumes, a grocery store with little carts, and cadh registers, a post office, deliver truck, fire truck, play house, and a ton more!So worth checking out, you can play with the kids or take a book and let them play.
Very entertaining for children under 10 yrs old. My grandchildren love to spend several hours here. There are permanent attractions where the children join others to pretend including a dressup stage with a camera and TV and seating for an audience, a post office, pizzaria, playhouse, firestation & truck amoung other sets... An area where a changing scenerio encourages imaginative play. Please check their site online before visiting. Also, check the calendar to see what groups are scheduled to visit before planning your visit, it can be very crowded if schools or other groups have bus trips scheduled! There are also outdoor activities schedled. For the cost ;you receive alot of value and the kids always have a good time.
My niece is 5, she loved it here. I will say it seems small but enough to entertain a young child for hours. They need to update, some toys are very old and the costumes are few. The rock wall was her favorite. I liked the music room best myself.
We took our 3 year old grandson today. Had a great time. So many things to do and pretend and play with. We only had 1-1/2hours, probably could have used twice that much time but we ran into lunch and nap time! Many hands on toys. The favorite was the undersea room with the hide and seek noodles and the octopus mouth. Great outside picnic/play area all fenced and some shaded tables. You may bring a picnic lunch, we didn't know. Some exhibits for older kids too, a stage for pretend programs and a princess carriage. Well priced at 6.00 a piece. Age group 2-6 best.
My daughter loved going here when she was younger. Price is a little steep, but as long as she had fun that was all the mattered! Some staff can be a little rough for young kids, but not too bad. Would suggest for kids 2-6, as my daughter got closer to 7 the novelty wore off.
We LOVE this "museum"! My kids are now 9 & 6 and still love going here. What I like best is the focus on imaginative play--a kid-sized grocery store, pizza parlor, stage & fire engine just to name a few! We have easily spent 3 hours here, especially when friends have joined us. Bring a lunch (nothing close by to grab a bite at) and eat in their small dining area. Check out the outdoor space in the summer months as they have a large garden growing & often have scheduled science experiments with staff going on. Plus outdoor toys (hula hoops, streamers, etc.) to run around & play with. Just a wonderful place all around!!Note: If you buy a family membership to the MI Science Center (Detroit) or Cranbrook Institute of Science (only $75/year!) your admission to the Flint Childrens Museum is free!
