Children's Museum of Oak Ridge

"Nice little museum. Not somewhere I’d travel hours to go see, but if you’re nearby, it’s certainly worth a trip. Great place for kids but a lot to learn as an adult as well. Would highly recommend!"

"Great place for learning and playing. I brought 4 kids 10 and under by myself and they all enjoyed themselves with the learning play and with all the many different types of exhibits and activities. If you or your kids like history or really any other activity then this is a good place for you. Tickets were cheap - adults $10 children( 3+) $8 and children under 3 free."

"It was a great place to make kids understand the science and geopolitical importance of the nuclear bombs. I am fascinated the way NPS manages to curate sites for specific audiences, in this case, children"

"Awesome place for families. Tickets were pretty cheap. Interactive exhibits. There is a life size doll house for kids along with a jungle boardwalk, riverway water play, historical dress up, pretend grocery store, space ship, puppet theater, and play classroom. Could spend hours here. I enjoyed it as much as the kids. Good bathrooms and friendly staff. Also, connected to national park site and has a playground outside."

"A great place for kids and parents in Oak Ridge. Oak Ridge has a rich history from its WWII starts as a secret city. You can find maps of the various sites to visit at several locations throughout the city. We picked up one of these and the Children’s Museum was one of the first and closest places that we came across. It is in the heart of Oak Ridge and is a true haven for kids eager to explore, learn, and have a blast. The entrance has a foyer where you are greeted by staff that offer suggestions and collect a fee to visit the museum. This is really designed for kids so adults may find few parts of it as interesting as the children will. The museum's interactive exhibits are very nice and are designed to provide children with hands-on experiences that engage all their senses and show a history of the area. From the fascinating Science Lab, where budding scientists can conduct experiments, to the colorful Arts and Crafts Corner, where creativity flows freely, every corner of the museum offers a unique experience. The museum does a very good job of incorporating education into the exhibits. The exhibits focused on STEM fields, history, and nature, children can broaden their knowledge while having a fantastic time. In conclusion, the Children's Museum of Oak Ridge is a gem in the realm of interactive exhibits. If you have children this is probably a good place to visit."
