This museum is NOT good for children age 5-6 or under. It is colorful, but there is almost nothing for a toddler to do but climb on stationary colorful figures. There is one display where they can move colorful plastic light-up sticks among different holes in the display and that's about it. The arts and crafts section downstairs was giving out one piece of construction paper and a piece of tape to make into a ..... hat? And a coloring page. And some tables and chairs and books to read. Nothing else in the way of arts and crafts. Lots of historical photos and info interesting only to adults. This museum is probably best as nostalgia for adults who remember Dr Seuss from their childhood. We paid $85 for 2 adults, 2 seniors and one toddler and visited only Dr Seuss since other museums also not good for toddlers. That's $85 we'll never get back!

I recently visited the Dr. Seuss museum with my 4 year old and 1 year old. Both of which loved the museum and learning more about Dr. Seuss, but more so being able to play with the interactive exhibits. They had fun running around and playing Dr. Seuss themed games. Would definitely recommend for anyone considering a visit.

So I will admit that I was the only adult there without a child. But I love Dr Seuss and have been a fan my entire life. The museum is geared probably more toward kids, but the information, both on the walls, and in the audio guide which is done by dialing a number on your phone, definitely explains his history, childhood, and how his life influenced his work. It is a small museum, but I spent almost 90 minutes there. Loved it! A great tribute to a brilliant man

This glorious, fantastic museum is wonderful for both kids and for adults who grew up reading Dr Seuss, who was a native of Springfield. The museum is colorful and interactive, and has exhibits from a lot of Dr Seuss' stories, like the Cat in the Hat and Who-Ville. The first floor is more aimed at younger kids, with interactive exhibits, like rhyming games and fun vocabulary games. The second floor highlights major parts of the author's life, with a recreation of part of his home, family photographs, and other memorabilia.

He was born here and this museum came together toward the end of his life. He lived in California as an adult which seems the more likely place for this- however Springfield is where it is at.
Nicely done exhibits laying out the story of his career. Definitely for children- as it should be.

This is one of 5 museums with the Springfield Museum. It is done up like a house and each of the Seuss characters is installed in a room based on the book. The second floor has a lot of exhibits dealing with his life. Some of his correspondence between people, awards that he won and other items pertaining to his life.

This place brings out the kid in you. As we walked through the Amazing World I could see my wife remembering reading the stories to our children. The characters were now before us in living color. Everything was so vivid and colorful. My wife really enjoyed this experience. Adults don't feel like you need a child to go with you to the Amazing World.

This was great fun, along with the sculpture memorial garden. Definitely worth a visit if in the area. The entry fee is for 5 museums, but absolutely worth it. We did not children with us and still had a great time. Car parking is free. Unfortunately the cafe was closed, and there did not seem to be another nearby. We were advised to use the coffee shop (The Roasted Bean) in the local casino, which was pretty good.

This was a great day for our family! Our kiddos are older (9 & 11) but they remembered their love for these books and had an amazing time. There are excellent photo ops and should your kiddos decide they are too cool for dr Seuss there are 4 other museums that were also very good. As an adult, I loved the hand written letters that were on display as well as the history. I think it would have been worth the price of admission without the kiddos. . .but go early so you can see everything:)

The time spent depends on the age of those attending. You can spend as much time as you want in the museum and in the Seuss sculpture garden. I went with an adult friend and we spent about 90 minutes. I saw kids playing in the interactive exhibits so that might affect time spent.

is it absolutely necessary to buy tickets in advance?
Written 26 September 2017
Nope, We walked right up and got a time card that told us when we would be admitted to the Seuss museum. In the mean time we visited the other museums that were part of the complex.
