This place is great if you buy the year membership, otherwise I feel it's way over priced. They charge the kids AND the parents for entry which is ridiculous. This said, the place does offer a lot of fun activities and different cool rooms with fun things to do. They have a water room, a ball room, an art room,...

The Building for Kids Children's Museum believes in "building imagination, creativity, and confidence" in our community's youth, from crawlers through age 7. As a non-profit children's museum, we accomplish this mission through providing a safe space for families to learn through play by exploring hands-on, educational exhibits, as well as curriculum-based classes for field trips and special programs throughout the year.

What a great place for children. We take our grandchildren there often and they always have a great time. The various displays appeal to everyone. Beware that it can get quite busy especially when school groups are present. We offset that by getting there early.

What a great place for both kids and parents to play together! Their art area is AWESOME! They continuously have fantastic programs on weekends and through out the summer.

I don't get to see my grandchildren very often. I took them here and we all had a good time. When we visited, the Building For Kids was between major exhibits; but my grand-daughter had fun dressing up in costumes and my grandson enjoyed the scientific experiments. All in all, a very nice experience.!

Lots of fun exhibits. My son loved the giant foam building blocks and the airtubes that shoot plastic balls through them. So much to do we didn't get to the arts and crafts...

We ended up going on dental day which was an added bonus bc we got a bunch of new toothbrushes.. BUT any normal day is just as fun. whether your child is 6 months or 6 years and above everyone will find something cool to do. theres always something to build, paint, climb, destroy and learn. I try and take...

This is an outstanding entertainment center not to be missed. Took a one and a half year old and a four year old here last December and they both had a ball. Of course older kids will love it too. It was my second visit. They have a water room with fountains for the kids to play in, a real...

This is a great place to take the kids. It has enough different areas to move around to so that they do not loose interest. It is costly to take a family. You have to plan to spend time here to make it worthwhile. We have even done a birthday party here which was great. The staff is great and...

A hands on activity based experience, mostly fun but some learning as well. Very nice staff and a fun way to spend a morning or afternoon.
As with most hands-on museums, a few things were not functioning and some of the clothing items (for doll dress up or other places to wear clothing ) need cleaning, but overall a good...
