Kids Square is a fun-filled museum where kids can explore, learn, and play!
Kids Square Children’s Museum is a play wonderland where kids can let their imagination run free. This museum has over 8 interactive exhibits, each with a different theme that promotes kids to explore and learn things that they can apply to the real world. The centerpiece of this museum is The Town with child-sized replicas of buildings and stores like a bank, hospital, school, TV station, dentist, restaurant, grocery store, vet, and a house with a kitchen. One of the other popular exhibits is a huge pretend forest with tree forts, a rock climbing wall, hobbit houses, and a campsite. The other exhibits in this museum include a theater where kids can perform on a stage, a sensory hallway and hideout, and a glow room.
Large bathrooms are located on the first floor, so I recommend making sure everyone uses the bathroom before you head upstairs to the main exhibits. Parking is available in the parking garage next to Center in the Square and costs $1/ half hour, except for until 4 pm on Saturday and all day on Sunday when parking is free. Food or drinks are not allowed inside, but you are able to leave and come back if you are planning a visit around mealtimes.
Tickets are $9 per person, with children under 1 being able to get in for free, and can be purchased at the entrance, over the phone, or on their website (this option has an additional $2 fee). They also have household memberships available that include 2 adults and all children living in a household for $75 for three months and $180 for a year. This is a great option for large families and those looking for an easy way to frequently get out of the house, especially on rainy or cold days.
Enjoy a special gathering at the museum and book a birthday party or field trip. They also created the Kids Square express where they bring STEAM-focused and play-base learning to the school, daycare, preschools, and more.
Do note during the holidays hours may vary. Check the website for official open and closing times.
