I believe this is the best place i have ever been with my kids. We definitely enjoyed it. Its truly worth every penny.
This children’s museum is a lot more funnier than other children’s museums I have been to. They provide different cultural elements, science activities, and explorative playgrounds. In one lab, a teacher showed kids a wonderful chemistry experiment of identifying starch in common kitchen goods. Kids were engaged to complete the basic lab operations by themselves, and were guided to understand the process by answering questions. It’s a truly educational place in that room. Other fun activities include climbing the round leaf tower, exploring indoor street view, surfing emulator, dancing pad etc. There is also a library and a dining hall on the side. Unlike the Houston Space Center where the dining hall makes the center like a big restaurant, the dining hall here is very moderate and just appropriate.
I recently visited the museum for the BOOSEUM, what a fun filled experience. All the employees were dressed in full costume. They handed the kids a bag with a map to areas that would have candy for the kids and they zip through their educational areas! So much cool props and lots of activities from interactive to self paced coloring. My kids had a amazing time we can’t wait to go back.
When I arrived, I was told at the front desk that wagons aren’t allowed due to policy. I was really upset at first because it meant I had to carry my baby for three hours while also managing my toddler. Thankfully, the staff were very kind—they offered to hold my wagon for me this one time and even gave me a complimentary entry ticket to make up for the inconvenience. I really appreciated that gesture and it left me with a positive impression of their customer service. Aside from that, I absolutely loved this place—honestly, I think I enjoyed it even more than my toddler did! There’s such an incredible variety of things to do. They have a mini H-E-B market that feels so realistic, plus areas for architecture and interior design, an ambulance and police car, hands-on sections for physics and chemistry, a dedicated infant and breastfeeding room, and so much more. Outdoors, there are musical instruments and even a splash pad, which I thought was such a fun touch. My dad was visiting Houston, so I brought him along, and it ended up being such a wonderful experience for both him and my kids. I only wish there were a place like this in Cypress—I’d definitely become a member! I took a day off during the week to go in order to avoid traffic and a crowd.
Always a good time and it’s going to be busy pretty much anytime you go. It is designed for it to be busy. Parking garage is super convenient at $12 and just across the street. Walking and parking free at McGovern’s garden is free but can be hard to catch. Kids love the kid town, the science spot, water flow works, and all the hands on activities. Don’t feel bad you don’t see the whole place before the kids wear out. It’s practically impossible to do it all.
