Great day to spend with your children. lots of interactive activities with great fun and learning! This children's museum is great for children under 12. My children grew up visiting this museum since it's inception. My son's first visit was when he was 8 months old when it was located at the Bakery Center now known as Sunset Place. He... More

There are not many attraction for toddlers, and some areas look a little old. But overall is a great place to go with the kids on a rainy day. I love the artist studio.

The Museum is more interactive that museum. I expected introduce the kids in a real museum world oriented for them. All the exhibitions is an interactive, not show some paintings. Is more small playground that includes an Emergency Room, Supermarket and Bank that the kids play around.

We got there right when it opened and on a Monday which is supposed to be a quieter time for little ones. Sooo glad we went at that time so my 5 and 2 year old could explore without getting pushed around by the older kids. Loved the cruise ship exhibit since we love to go on cruises. Spent about... More

Definitely worth a visit if you are in miami with kids. Plenty to do. Lots of hands-on activities for younger kids (3-9 age bracket). Divided into sections: cruise ships (kids can pretend to steer a ship and learn to navigate) music ( DJing section, musical instruments and more) a mini miami (a pretend fire engine to drive, hospital to play...

But in general is a nice place,... More

Fun for them, safe environment, and inexpensive. They have plenty of things for the children to do, plus they do activities throughout the day for the children. My 7 year old daughter had a blast. There is a Subway on premise where you can get sandwiches, salads, pizza, drinks, and ice cream. Overall, the place was very clean including the... More

This place made a very run down impression, all rather unimaginative and many of the displays and interactive features were not working. Definitely not worth a return visit. And highly suggest not to go on the free day (last Friday of the month?), when we were there it was filled with noisy poorly supervised kids.
