Building for Kids is Appleton's children's museum, offering Summer Explorer Camps across an eight-week series of themed drop-off camps in July and August. Weekly themes span art, photography, music, STEM, and cooking, with skill-building enrichment and free play throughout the museum's interactive exhibits. Full-day camps serve children who have completed grades K–4, and half-day options serve 4K–4th grade (members only).

★★★★★Carie CreagerVery much a great place to take a child to keep them busy for a couple hours. Lots of stuff to do. Lots of stuff to see.
★★★★★Angel PeckWe went on a Saturday. We had a great experience. Never felt crowded when with a birthday going on. It was very clean. Staff were walking around resetting play areas. The staff were so kind. Spent 2 hours there and could have stayed longer easily (only left due to only stopping as we passed through town)
★★★★★Ben KremkowWe had a great time at Building for Kids. Two stories filled with different rooms and stations of learning themes. Our favorites were the rope treehouse, heart slide, outer space room, and kitchen/store, but the ball gadget room, airplane, fire truck, water room, and bank activities were cool, too. Neat french toast activity put on by the staff that was educational and tasty.
★★★★★Tiffany BowlesGREAT MORNING OUTING OR ROAD TRIP STOP Great children's museum with many learning activity & craft stations including a really well designed water play room. Large open areas where your kids can just be themselves. Relaxed environment and happy clean kid-friendly restrooms. Best for kids ages 3 to 8. FREE ADMISSION for ASTC museum passport holders. Have fun!
★★★★Jesus EstradaGreat space in Appleton. Went with a large group. The day we attended admission was a donation. Not crowded. There is plenty of room to move around without bumping into others. There are a lot of play stations and bathrooms. Would definitely return.
