Great for toddlers
by cmg2002
This is a great place to spend an hour or two on a rainy day with a toddler. My almost one year old son had a great time in the "Discovery Bay" area, which has lots of stuff geared for the age 0-3 set. It seemed like most of the museum was for kids age 3 to early elementary school. But "Discovery Bay" is more than sufficient for a toddler's short attention span! We are looking forward to going back.
- Pros: Lots of interactive, stimulating stuff for kids
- Cons: Parking is a pain

Wonderful Toddler Experience
by marshaka23
This place is fantastic for the birth - 4 range. There is so much to do and see that we go at least once a month. All of the exhibits and pretend play keep my toddler entertained time and again and that's all I ask!
- Pros: Variety, Learning Value
- Cons: Toddler-focused, opens at 10AM

More please
by shaverbgod
The walk arounf the rock is littered with gum and dirt. The place should really be maintained better. All in all, still a great place for learning. A simple fix on most of the machines would render them working and impress the children a lot more. Perhaps someone should volunteer to fix some of the older leaky equipment. The children still have fun as they are want to do, but the experience could be made all the better with a little tlc.
- Pros: fun, informative, child sized
- Cons: dirty, many things broken, some exhibits closed
