New Britain Youth Museum

"Great place for small children to play. Pros: + perfect size. Small enough that you’re never having to run around and chase your kid- you can always see them + convenient bathrooms + lots of different areas to play in + lady at the front desk was nice Cons: - needs a facelift. Some items could probably be thrown out. Mayne some fresh paint? Some areas did not work - needs a thorough cleaning. A lot of the toys felt greasy/like they needed a serious wipe-down with a Clorox wipe. - there was no AC in the second room. Felt like there was zero air circulation. It was really hot; I heard another parent complain about it as well. All-in-all we will definitely come back sometime- especially with it being included in the CT summer program AND our library provides a pass."

"Very Nice small museum to visit with the kids But…. The tall polish lady at the front counters less than stellar attitude was enough for me. Good grief!"

"Nice place to take your toddlers, my almost 2 and 3 yr old boys enjoy it very much. Only took off one star because the lady who usually works at the front is pretty rude with my children, on several occasions. At first I let it be because everyone has off days but after a few incidents, I realize she continues the same attitude, as if children really annoy her. And I am always on top of my kids making sure they are doing the right things and following the rules. Anyway, that’s the only unfortunate part. Other than that, great spot for little ones."

"My two year old loved it! I agree with another review that 18mo-4yr olds will probably get the most out of this place. My son could have stayed all afternoon, but older kids may get bored in less than an hour or so."

"Very cute quiet spot. Only $3/kid on a Sunday. $10 minimum for a card payment so we bought from the “gift shop” cute little Knick knacks. Two large rooms. The main room has several stations and many many things to do for children of all ages. I would say 2-8, but it’s best for 2-5 for an extended period of time. There were also more advanced stations options with microscopes , X-rays and puzzles for them to do. A side room has a large “grocery store” two play kitchens, a play dining room table. A large table full of. Crayons markers and color pencils and pages for coloring. A secret upstairs room filled with stars and planets. Very cute and entertaining for about 2 hours and low cost. The lady there is very nice. It can get a little disorganized but from the looks of it she doesn’t have any help and there are many many children playing with the Toys. But I saw her trying to clean up when she could. I would recommend!"
