delaware children's museum印象

I have visited this museum several times with my children. There is always something that catches their attention though our visits are shorter each time since they have already experienced most of the attractions and they are older now.I definitely recommend more for the younger kids though there are some attractions that teach school age lessons such as banking and energy conservation. Some of the exhibits have experienced much wear and tear over the years (for example, car mechanic's play area).I do think that perhaps there should be more staff presence in some of the play areas. I have seen children playing in a more unsupervised fashion and not really sharing the toys which are a bit limited in each area which can lead to some children having to wait a while on busier days. This does tend to happen at other museums as well on busy days though. The decor is adorable and it does cover different topics.

The museum is certainly children friendly, but the exhibits never change. It's a bit pricey to go back more than once to do all the same things over and over again.

My kids love going there. We going pretty often. Its a great hands on museum, that you can feel safe with the kids running around in each room. They love it every time.. Ages 7 and 9..

Came here with my nephews, 4 and 6 at the time, and both had a blast here for several hours. I've seen children's museums that are both much better and much worse with this one about average. But, when I was a kid there was no such place anywhere in the state so I consider this a huge step up. The grown ups had a good time playing with some of the exhibits as well. Parking is free. Food is just vending machines, but there are fun, kid-friendly restaurants along the riverfront for lunch.

We went on Thanksgiving weekend and were surprised that the museum wasn't very busy, by the time we left, we realized why... Many of the exhibits were broken or in disrepair, efen the basic ones. We actually went because I read there is a new touch aquarium. Either this needs to be re-named or replaced. It's about a 10' x 3' aquarium with about 10 animals in it. The biggest problem, it was way too deep for any of the kids or adults to touch the creatures. All the kids were getting soaking wet and leaving completely disappointed! When I asked the woman working there why it was so deep - her reply "well ya know". The best thing about the museum was the "free" popcorn.

I took a 14 yr old, 11 yr old, two 8 yr olds and two nearly-5 yr olds to DCM. This was a repeat visit for all of them (some have been more often than others).We got there just before 11, went for lunch (at Joe's Crab Shack) at about 2 and left at 4. All the kids had a great time. They were thoroughly engaged the entire time, physically, intellectually and/or creatively. After we took a walk along the riverfront (it was a beautiful day, not too hot) afterwards and went for an ice cream down. A perfect, full day.One of the impressive things about this museum is that they are constantly updating and adding to the displays and activities. I've been going to DCM and Please Touch for the past three or four years running and Please Touch is great but always exactly the same. Every year that I go to DCM there is new and/or improved stuff.

My son LOVES this museum. It has a giant rope climbing apparatus in the front entrance that goes up to the 2nd floor, and kids can play for quite a while in this area. There are steps for parents to climb to retrieve thier children who make it to the top. The exibits are cute, and perfect for preschool to young school age, while others are definitely geared for school age children (readers). My kids spent an easy 4 hours here and were not even slightly interested in leaving. Unfortunately when we were there, there was no place to purchase food. We had packed some snacks, but I wish I had known so I could have packed more substantial food.

We take our 3 year old grandson to various museums and other spots that a child of his age would enjoy. This was our first time at this museum. It is smaller than its regional competition and actually simpler in its offerings. While our grandson seemed to enjoy it, we did not compare it as worthy as the others within our range. This does not mean that you should avoid it, but it will not, in my opinion, please any older child. or any child with more exposure to the competition

Visited on a Sunday morning with a 3 yr old and 18 month old. They had a good time running around and playing. They especially enjoyed the room with the trains to play in. The water table was also a hit. Price is probably a little high.

This had been one of our favorite Children's Museums before our move, so we were very excited to meet friends here and make a day of it. While by and large it is the same, many things were worn out or missing. The biggest shock was that they no longer are a Blue Star Museum, the second was that they no longer have a café (which we had planned on sharing lunch with our friends at). We rolled with it and the kids always LOVE the water table and the 3D climbing maze, but we won't make an effort to return.The temporary Lego exhibit was nice.The crew/rowing exhibit was broken.The tv/show stage wasn't working.Not enough pieces to build with for the giant construction sets (even when all the kids are trying to build the same item!)Café is gone, though kids did enjoy the new huge blue foam items. I felt they would have done better to keep the café and swap out the construction set that are missing so many pieces.The giant cash register/game is gone with nothing to replace the 10' square space, not even an educational poster.The route from the front door to the River Walk should be easy and clear.We loved this very much when it first opened.Kids are currently (13,11,9,and 6) and friend's kids were (11,10,and 6)Backyard is still a wreck and could be used to great advantage.
