Came here with a 16 y.o., 8 y.o. and 20 month old, they all had fun, we didn't even get to see the whole place b/c the youngest was so focused on a few things. Will definitely come back. My only advice to those that are going is that parking was kind of a pain, we tried to park in the garage and it was out of tickets, the road had construction going on. Also u have to go somewhere for lunch or eat before you go

I took my 2 year old and 9 month old here while my wife was at a conference at UMass. It was a lovely place. Not super big but tons of stuff to keep kids interested. It was only about 20 minutes away from our hotel in Northampton. We were there for about 2 and a half hours and touched on every part of what they had to offer but my kids had a blast the whole time.

Couldn’t be happier with our decision to add this to our weekend itinerary. Our four year old loved it- easily could spend 3 hours here. Every bit of space is used smartly and there is something for everyone. The climbing area is unlike anything I’ve seen at a children’s museum and the magnetic wall kept us occupied for nearly an hour. Loved the authentic touches in the paramedic and fire truck areas. Just fantastic.

I finally took my two young children to this museum. I had heard various things. First, it's in a not so good part of town. Sad but a reality... Also parking is not abundant. Some street spots. I would recommend parking near the Heritage Park Merry go Round on Appleton St which has a lot--also next to the police station. Back to the museum-- it's one floor so maybe 10 different things to do? My kids loved it. It's slightly worn down. Reminded me of a day care center in some ways. Not sure why. The water table area and ambulance station are the best. After the museum we walked over to the merry go round. This was the best part of the day. We didn't expect to ride it but we're pleasantly surprised when it was open. The museum was something to do but next time we are making the drive to Hartford for the Science Museum.

Easy parking in the parking garage across the street. The children immediately began climbing, crawling, splashing, making paper, playing with tubes and other mechanical devices. I had to drag them out just before closing time.
It is well worth the money.

It was our first time going and my daughter loved it and it's roomy my twin's stroller fit well. The best time to go is in the morning less crowded. The only thing it gets really crowded and not enough station toys to play with during school vacation. During the afternoon. But other then that we had a blast.

We took our granddaughter to this museum on a cloudy day and she had the best time playing with the bubble machine, trying on firemen's outift and playing with the boat and other toys in the water with the waterfall. She love going up on the high net enclosed play area with the daddy. She played for a long time and then it was time to go for lunch. I would recommend this museum to those with children.
We had a library pass so it was cheaper.

I've been a few times and if I didn't work I would consider getting a yearly pass - I could easily take my 3 year old once a week - there is a good variety of things to do (grocery store, restaurant, dress ups/theatre, postal service (you deliver mail to each of the other locations), vet center, ambulance, water table, climbing structure, and many more. Perfect place for 3 year olds. It is also right next to the Carousel/Merry-Go-Round in Holyoke so you can go on before or after if it's open. We parked on the street - $1 for 2 hours. The museum offers discounts for AAA, Big Y cards, military - check their website.

This museum is wonderful for very young children. There is a large water table area, a huge crawling/climbing structure, a bubble table, magnets, foam blocks, an ambulance with heart monitor, a shadow room, a post office, etc. lots of fun, very low key, with friendly helpful staff. A great time for kids up to about age 8 or 9.

Take your kids here on a rainy day. Let them run around, play in the fake buildings, and climb all over the maze, Burn off the energy they have stored up.
