We took our grandsons ( 4 and 8 months) and they had a blast! Very safe and clean. It was raining but the grounds outside looked very nice as well. More

This is a wonderful children's "playground". Kids big and small will find something to do, and can actually learn in the process! If you are planning for a visit by nieces, nephews, grandchildren, or just want somewhere to take your own children for an afternoon of play, this is the place! More

This is one of the most entertaining, educational place to take your children for an afternoon. It is fun, My nieces love it and it is a regular family outing ~ just be prepared to stay a while as the kids seem endlessly engaged in the many activities, sights, sounds and entertainment! More

I visited the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center when I was very young and remembered it for the rest of my life. We just recently visited again with two 7 year olds and two 19 month olds.

The Lynn Meadows Discovery center is fun to a point. For about $8.00 each you can explore science and imagination. My 7 year old had an ok time. I would say if you have little ones age’s toddler and 4yrs old this is a must. Otherwise older children may be a little on the board side. There are tree houses... More

Our daughter got to visit at 18 months and we decided at 2 years we should take her back. What a difference 6 months makes. Such a wide variety of places and things for any child to enjoy. Fly an airplane, drive a train, climb a spiral tower, be on TV, do arts and crafts. An entire day could be... More
