★★★★★Cherie TramberWe love cognition!! Their special events are always a favorite for the children. We drive about 45 mins each way for the fun!
★★★★★JordanWe absolutely LOVED our field trip to Cognition! April and Regina were phenomenal with our students and the hands on lessons. The museum was fun and had so much to explore and do. We hope to return soon!
★★★Wendy EdwardsGreat little place for kids to play but if you go for an events which it's held downstairs ... not so great. I have mobility and walking issues. My husband is in a wheelchair. No access for disabilities. Kids with CP and use a walker, can't get downstairs. Only 1 handicapped parking space. We were told to park at the back to go downstairs but then how do we get back upstairs, keep getting in our car, move it from the front door to the back. Not very inclusive for kids or adults with disabilities. I understand this is a non profit but something could be done to make sure ALL families feel welcomed and can enjoy the events completely especiallly ones that we have paid for. Several things were broken. Place is small enough for kids to be watched by staff, since not by parents, to not break things. Notice staff just sat at the desk, listening to ear pods, not really paying attention
★★★★★Nicole KekicWe always make it a point to bring the kids here when we are in the area!! The kids love the hands-on fun and friendship they get when plying here. They have everything from farm toys to dentist here, and the kids have a ton of fun! It's so cool to see this non-profit in a small town and watch all of the kids have a great time. They also have many events here for children and adults! If you have little kids or you're an adult looking to gain some new skills with their maker space, you definitely have to check them out! Here are some pictures from our visit today! Also, it's 5 dollars per person for unlimited play.
★★★★★Jessica BarneyAMAZING space for children to build, learn, pretend, and get creative! My children are 2.5 and almost 5 and this is their favorite place to visit! Great size space for kids to run and have fun but also small enough to keep a good eye on them at all times without having to chase them. Highly recommend this for a great morning out of the house with little ones!
