Reviews of SPARK, Children's Museum
"Brought kids ages 1 and 4 and played for a few hours, but there isn't a whole lot that they can't do at home. It'll keep them entertained for an hour or two, but not worth the price for admission. Disappointing compared to many other children's museums--save your money and make a day trip to the children's museums in St. Paul or Mankato (There's enought things to do at those that will keep kids entertained all day long!). Also annoying that that aren't open til 9 a.m., close at 5 p.m., and are closed on Mondays. That maybe works if you're at stay at home parent, but is not feasible for working families."
"Super fun. When we got there - wasn’t sure, felt smallish and was in a mall. Don’t be fooled we loved it. Lots to do for 12 and 8 year old and lots of other kids to play with while there too. Staff was great. Cool stem stuff to make and play. We love the grocery store, kitchen and play restaurant. Will come back when in town again. Would upload picks but all have my grandsons in it ;)"
"We instantly fell in love here and had to sign up for a package deal. No BS.. Kids had so much fun and it is a great, clean place for him to feel confident, explore, and learn. With regular events and activities - we're just in time for a place like this. Rochester needs it. The staff were quite friendly and sweet with my son."
"My 2-year-old REALLY loved it here. Be warned: if you have a toddler, you're going to have a very hard time taking them out of this place, because they have so much fun. Lots of other kids there from 1 to around 6 or so, plenty of activities to do. A bit spendy - $9 per adult and $9 for each kid above like 1 year old - but the membership plan makes it WELL worth it if you plan on going often (your kids will love it) - memberships cost $100. This means for our family (mom, dad, toddler), we make the membership worth it after just 4 visits. With membership you basically get in for free. Itf you have a kid of suitable age it is DEFINITELY worth it. My son now loves to watch videos I took of him playing there, and after our visit there for a couple of hours, he fell asleep tonight like magic. Makes for a great day."
