★★★★★Sara CookWe’ve been Kidzeum members for going on 3yr. Love the interactive play and fun environment. The staff are always so welcoming and keep it tidy. My kids 4, 7, & 9 love going to Kidzeum and it’s their favorite place to go. There is so much to do that they don’t get burnt out. Love that they mix up exhibits occasionally. We always visit on Saturdays and park over by Resource One. Never any issues on parking. Just have to make sure the farmers market isn’t going on if planning on parking there. Membership pricing is extremely reasonable and makes a great Christmas present for the family. I recommend it to everyone with kids
★★★★Sara StraussThis museum was really fun for my kids, ages 3 and 5 years old. We were there about 2 hours before closing on a Sunday and it wasn't crowded at all. For the most part everything was in working order and clean. There was an employee constantly walking around picking things up and putting things back where they belong. All the employees were very nice. There was plenty to do and we could have definitely spent more time there. The vet room, the dentist office space and the ambulance were probably our favorite areas. See hilarious picture of fish with human teeth from the dental area. We were able to get in for free with our reciprocal ASTC museum membership.
★★★★★Joshua Alan LutzWe live near downtown Springfield and have 4 kids (Ages 2, 3, 5 & 7). They all had a blast! The Kidzeum has 3 floors packed with fun activities. I enjoyed seeing my kids go from area to area discovering new things to play with and exhibits to interact with and explore. I'll definitely be remembering the Kidzeum when we want to get out of the house on a rainy day. There's a room that can be reserved for private parties. It was pretty spacious, with room for about 6-8 round tables. It's a nice option for kid's parties!
★★★★★Destiny WellerI had my nephews 3rd birthday party here. It was so much fun. I paid $175 and was allowed up to 25 guests. We had a huge party room and they took care of cleaning up after the party. I will definitely be back again. The kids all had so much fun.
★★★★★Kelly HeffronWell designed and engaging children's museum! Fun for a wide age range. The kids learned new things and had a great time pretending and playing. Definitely worth the visit!
