The Children's Playhouse is a nonprofit hands-on children's museum in Boone for kids from birth to about age eight, not a traditional summer camp. It offers open indoor and outdoor play plus art, science, literacy, and sensory classes and programs through the summer. Exhibits include a vet clinic, arts and crafts studio, discovery garden, and indoor play area.

★★★★★Jenise DominguezChildren’s Playhouse is such a fun place! They have so much variety that it keeps my busy body boys entertained. They have music, art, reading, STEM, indoor and outdoor active areas, pretend play, and more. Staff was friendly, toys were clean, and there was plenty to do. Can’t wait to go back!
★★★Sasha LashCute place, my 4 year old loved it. It is very very clean. The reason for only 3 stars is that I felt value for the $ didn't match. We visited as a family of 5, 3 adults a 14 year old and the child. They charge $8.50 per person, which isn't a lot but for 4 people NOT playing $42.50 is steep.
★★★★★Jessica Kirton (Roseograce)My kids (5, 3, & 16mos. old) LOVED the Children’s Playhouse. Every detail was thoughtful and charming! The 5 & 3 year old especially loved the tree house upstairs, and the ball pit was a hit with all of my kids. There were so many fun toys and activities — I felt that we barely scratched the surface after 2 hours of continuous play. There were thoughtful, and considerate details for parents everywhere. Adequate doors/baby gates were present to keep the smallest ones from wandering out of each of the particular areas in which we were playing. This was honestly my favorite part! My kids are energetic and keeping up with three of them all going in different directions is always a difficulty in public spaces. Here, I actually got to sit down and enjoy watching them without fearing one of them wandering off! There were also child-friendly bathrooms and changing tables available in every space. I didn’t get to enjoy the complimentary coffee, but maybe next time! Such a nice detail. I also loved how clean and tidy the staff keeps everything. You can tell how much they prioritize sanitation. The little bins for mouthed toys were perfect. We will come back soon!
★★★★★Sarah LightAmazing place! It took my 2 year old 4 visits to discover all the fun rooms this place has to offer. She spent hours in each area! They have creative events going on each month, such as special visits from therapy dogs; you can never get bored! As a parent, I appreciate the tea and seating provided 🙏
★★★★★Huseyin Husnu OzkanIt’s a nice place for kids. There are lots of toys, books and activities we went there several times in a week. My 4 years old son still wants to go there again and again. And out door activities are also good playing with water always the best for my son. Highly recommended
