While the children's museum is a bit old, there's plenty of fun, indoor play for kids. We loved the garage (ages 5 and over) where older kids can drill, glue, draw and build their own creations. The water works is a great attraction for all ages (bring a change of clothes). Toddlers will love the Dig Pit. The Dig Pit is filled with rubber "gravel," plus plenty of buckets, shovels, dump trucks and a conveyor belt

Bring your own snacks and lunch, there are not a lot of great food options in this area

    My kids love going to the children's museum and can spend hours rain or shine playing. My 2 year old loves the water room and pouring and splashing in the water. They can run around laughing and playing while learning how things work. My 5 year old loves to shoot the balls up the vacuum and see them swirl above his head before going through the pipes back down. There are activities for every age. Bring your lunch and spend the day experiencing how the world works.
