Pricing

Pretty pricey, especially considering the condition of the toys and displays. Almost $10:00 per person is pricing a lot of families out of going.

Needs improvement ASAP!

Pretty outdated and with broken toys, that could be easily tossed or replaced/fixed, rather than just sitting there. Same for the outdoor area: it looks old and desperately needs a good remake. Throughout the museum, there are things that can't be touched or aren't accessible...More

Wonderful Experience

Took our grandchild there (age 2) and she loved it. We were surprised how much they had to do for that age. Definitely a great way to spend some quality time with your kids.

Spent endless hours here with my granddaughter over 10 years.

The adventures we had here are innumerable. All in all every visit was a joy. Their special activities like New Years Noon are exceptional. They go all out. If you live in Wilmington or nearby you might want to ask about the annual pass. That...More
