This is an okay museum for children. I was expecting a little more kiddie type interaction with the performers and the kids but my expectations may be too high. There is a fair variety of activities and performances for children. The building is pretty nice and the staff are fairly helpful. This is a place I would visit again but not very often.
A place to climb, explore, experiment and play until every surface area is smudged with fingerprints.

Overview
Bright, colorful and crowded, the museum keeps an eye out for a kid's best interest. It's divided into different sections: How it Works, which lets kids experiment with tools, materials and their own endless energy; Feeling Good Neighborhood, featuring a functioning apple orchard and a monster-sized digestive system; Our Great Outdoors, possibly the only cave that's not off-limits to kids and the Art Studio where the paint gets on someone else's walls for a change.
The Appeal
Not only does the atmosphere encourage plenty of child/parent interaction, it also offers parents a quick respite from the action when it becomes exhausting. Check out the benches beside the Great Outdoors area, or slip into Little CMOR, which caters to the youngest visitors to the museum.
