I want to go back!

Went for a grade school field trip, amazing! 😁💛

Kids experienced an in class interactive demonstration on electricity. Learned about current flow, the entire class made their very own light up "mini monster." My kid has theirs they play with regularly!

The place itself has plenty of hands on stations for littles to interact with. From simple car mechanics to plumbing flow almost everything is touchable.

Not a massive experience, but the adventure my child hasn't forgotten nor can wait to share with their younger siblings!! ❤😁

The Works Museum is fantastic. I took my second grade class there for a field trip and they were so amazed by all of the hands-on activities and said it was "their favorite field trip of all time". It gave them a chance to independently explore their interests and also provided structure and safe boundaries. There was also a guided lesson where the kids got a chance to create an airplane! Additionally, the staff were kind, patient, kid-friendly, and fun. Thank you Works Museum... we will be back!

Great place for children to have birthday parties. The staff was helpful and the party rooms were large. I thought it was perfect for a 2 hour party. Highly recommended. All the other parents were happy that it was both educational and fun.

Solid three hours of fun packed into a relatively small place. Educational and interesting.

Great experience. Was there for a birthday party, and not only did my kid have a blast, I also enjoyed hanging out here.

Chaperone for Grandson's class, had a great time! Very interesting learning areas, and all the kids had fun. The Adults too! Have some amazing displays with activities.

Small museum that packs a big punch. Ideal for ages 4 and up with older kids getting more out of it. We had our 5-year-old's birthday party here and it was great. Besides emergency exits, there is only one way in/out of the main museum so it was easy to keep track of our little engineers. Even so, we got them construction worker dress up play jackets so they could be spotted easily. The museum itself is pretty much one big room so the kids can go from one activity to the next without getting lost.

Great little hands on museum. The kinex display with gravity well will excite any person any age. The laser harp is fantastic. Building bridge area is also great with multiple kids.

Great space with hands-on activities for kids that are informative and enjoyable. Kids learn things while they have fun. They also do kids' bday parties and they have camps for school-aged children.

We love the Works museum! It’s worth every penny to become members. It’s really a fantastic experience with all the STEM learning and engineering concepts. My 4 year old daughter absolutely loves it. It wasn’t very busy either, and I’m really pleased they have a strict masking policy for kids and adults. Everyone was masked correctly so we all stayed safe. I highly recommend this museum as hands-on fun for kids and adults alike. Curious George exhibits were really neat and it was interesting learning the author’s life story as well as seeing memorabilia from the history of the book series.

Important: I wrote “free” admission because we are members. Membership is an annual fee, it’s very reasonable!

Great for kids. Do expect to spend time to explain and show how stuff works. 4-6. Yrs old is probably going to be most interested.

I've only been here once with my four year old son but we had a blast. A lot of the activities were a little over his head but he still found plenty to do and has asked to go back several times. I love that everything is hands on and science-based. So much learning is happening! Definitely recommend!

My family loved it here!! We recently got a membership here and checked it out. There's something for everyone and things that my children can grow with as well. The little activity room upstairs was a nice get away from the stimulation on the main floor. Workshops and membership deals for the children seem reasonable. We really enjoyed our time here; Will be attending more often!

Our 3rd and 4th grader went here for a school field trip and the experience was excellent. The kids made catapults in a classroom setting and then played with the exhibits.

Will definitely be back, staff and activities were great.

Pretty much everything is hands on. I've been here with my daughter twice now and she always has fun and never wants to leave. It's much less exciting for adults but we know what we're in for lol. Staff is friendly and helpful. My daughter cut her leg and they were super quick to get us what we needed to clean it and bandage it up. Fridays have special events over the summer and there are usually day cares and summer camps visiting (schools during the year) so there won't be a shortage of children if you go in the morning/early afternoon.
