We went during the week around 3pm. One other family was there and it was a lot of fun for our 2 year old and us! I can see where it would be challenging during busy times. We spent 2 hours and that was because we had to go. Could easily spend more time. We also got to keep the... More

This is a must see if you have kids 3-8! All I can say is they have a craft room to die for! After visiting this museum you are so tempted to go out and find a quaint little 200 year old row home and make one of your own! More

My daughter had her 8th birthday party here last year and she loved it. I worried that it would be too "young" for her but the rooms they had were perfect. She and her friends played in the colonial dress up area downstairs. They loved the giant body bubble and they loved going upstairs to draw and play in the... More

Today was our second visit to Explore and More with two 5 year olds and a 9 year old. They all had a wonderful time and especially enjoyed the colonial house and store, the giant bubble maker and the art room. They looked forward to coming back to see the white mouse also. Such a great place for kids to... More

My daughter has gone to this place twice a year for the last four years. It can keep her busy for many hours at a time. She loves this place and always has. When we speak of going on vacation to Gettysburg she always tells us she wants to go here. She loves the activities in the house such as... More

This place is great for kids. They love all the different rooms and exploring everything. They host birthday parties which is great because it keeps kids occupied so the adults can chat. More

My 4 1/2 year old daughter LOVES this place. Because of that, we go fairly regularly. However, I dislike the fact that they charge for adults to enter. There is nothing for adults to do except monitor their children and make sure they don't fall down the un-gated, steep stairway in the middle of the house. The workers keep the... More

My kids 2 and 6 loved this place and wouldn’t stop talking about it! Most of Gettysburg and the tours are not suited for young children. Explore & More is the place to go if you are traveling with toddlers and young kids. While my husband and I enjoyed Gettysburg, my mother-in-law took our sons to Explore & More. It... More

Offers a variety of fun activities for younger children - both indoor and out. Our 5-yr old granddaughter spent 2 hours exploring every aspect. Park on Baltimore St. south of Wade for best time on meters! More

I was looking for things to do with kids in Gettysburg and found the Explore & More House. Staff is VERY friendly and helpful, they talked us through all the different rooms as we were coming in, showed us the exhibits, and even offered to help me with taking a picture of my son playing with their big bubble exhibit....
