Miami Children's Museum

"I recently visited a children's museum that left a lasting impression. The indoor facilities are exceptionally well-designed for children aged 2 to 6, featuring incredibly creative and interactive spaces. The environment is family-friendly and secure. The ongoing remodeling of the outdoor area, although currently under maintenance, instills high expectations for its future appeal. The museum offers ample space for additional outdoor playgrounds, and the parking rates are reasonable. -Furthermore, the presence of in-house bathrooms and a well-stocked gift shop with educational games for all ages adds to the overall immersive family experience."

"I’m so conflicted about this review because I think this museum can have great potential! Our 1 year old enjoyed his time but so many things could be improved/changed here Pros: - Cool exhibits - Friendly staff members -Clean bathrooms -Dr Seuss area with books for children to whine down -Different themed events throughout the year - Plenty of hand sanitizer stations all in working order Cons/things to be improved: - From the moment we entered until the moment we left we were all sweating! It was hotter inside than it was outside, it honestly makes me not want to go back at all - Some toys were out of order - Parking is not free, even if you’re a member. - There’s no cafeteria or place indoors where you can eat your food other than a tiny Subway. I can’t imagine going during the summer months and having to not only bring a packed launch but having to eat it in the Scorching heat outside with no fans/ shaded area! - A covered splash pad/zone area would be incredible and little ones would go crazy for it - Earlier opening times. By 10am we’ve already lived 3 lives with our son and other family with kids agree I really wanted to love it but it just isn’t quite there yet unfortunately"

"This is my new favorite place to take my kids. I have a one and two year old with number 3 on the way and I’m always trying to find places to keep them entertained where they can expend some energy. This place keeps them entertained for hours and it’s huge with many areas for the kids to discover and explore. The staff are incredibly nice and great with the kids. They have themes each month and have daily activities at different times, which they provide each time you go with a map. Great place for learning and development. We bought the annual membership, which is extremely reasonably priced compared to all the other museums and indoor playgrounds in the area - and to me, absolutely worth every penny. Parking is $2 per hour, so, also not bad at all either."

"This place js absolutely overran with happy kids. The environment is upbeat and happy, and there are tons of experiences for the kids. Currently, their hours of operation are set for two time slots, so please check that before heading over there. There are different interactive rooms to give the kiddos an optimal experience in said occupation. For example. There is a fire department room, an animal care center, and a police department room as well. Pls pack your patience"

"Last time I visited this museum I was a child. Currently the museum is adding some extra fun water play activities for outside. (It’s very much needed for the summer.) This museum has two time slots you can reserve online, 10am-1:30pm and 2:30pm-6pm. This gives the staff time in between play session to clean and sanitize the rooms. I think that’s great because you can definitely explore each area way before the time is up. Also serves as crowd control. I’m going during the summer so there is a lot more kids than usual because of summer camp. The museum was very loud and hectic and I ended up taking the girls to the quiet room where we had to collect ourselves from the rowdiness of the kids. There are a lot of things to touch and play with at the museum, lots of hands on activities which is great. The kids can put on costumes that are hanging on some hooks to feel more like a firefighter, police officer or baker. We went while there was the Curious George exhibit which was nice (I’m not a huge fan) but it was a lot of interactive things to do. They also have a playground for older kids. I didn’t take the kids out because of the amount of summer camp kids but it looked fun. Inside of the museum there is a Subway by the entrance and gift shop. They also have a medium sized fish tank with almost nothing in there. It was all around alright. The kids had fun but I really don’t see myself taking the kids more than once a year. I feel like the music section should be repaired because they have a piano floor but not all the keys work. In another music room, the selections for the sounds of music didn’t work either. Staff was okay, very helpful entrance staff. Everyone else walking around didn’t really ask if I needed help or explained much to the kids. Parking is not free, you need the Pay by Phone app and for 3 hours I paid $8."
