★★★★★Tiffany ProphetSimply amazing..... To be a kid again at any age. This place IS a must on your 1st or returning trip to the Mississippi Gulf Coast!!! From the outside activities and all the inside activities that let's kids explore and have fun without the use of tablets, phones, and other electronic devices. Let them unplug and have some fun meeting new people to work on their social skills and creative thinking. The community Sponsors truly did and are doing a fabulous job funding and supporting a worthy cause. Let's continue to support STEMM. Come on out military families and bring your kids, friends, and grandparents. Laughter and fun awaits.
★★★★★KimSteinerI love this center especially because they have sections for all little ones. My now 3year old and 11 year old still go and love it! It isn't just a fun place to go, but also educational which just makes it better!! This is the place for a family gathering that entertains more than one age group. Especially in the summer time when that splash pad is open!!
★★★★★Kathryn KnoxA wonderful experience with beautiful music. A great event for families, in an intimate setting. The musicians were incredible and made time to connect with the audience. Very talented! Highly recommend any Candlelight event. We will go again.
★★★★★Blake CrawfordI spent the day here with my family and we had a blast. The museum kept my 7 year old and 5 year old busy for hours. There's no cafe, but they allowed us to do our own picnic lunch at the picnic tables. Most of the exhibits were in good working order. Children are constantly testing the exhibits so it makes sense to me that not everything was working as intended. Also, the tree house was being worked on at the time of our visit, but happy to see improvement and repair taking place. The art studio let us build a craft and the kids loved it. We closed out the day at the splash pad. $60 for the day for the family and we got our money's worth. My only gripe is that the power button for the splash pad needs a sign or something painted on the ground.
★★★★★Holly GrayWe traveled over from Mobile, AL because we’ve heard such great things. We were not disappointed. We came about 2pm on a Saturday and it was perfect. We had most of the place to ourselves. It was nice and clean. My 5 year old loved everything inside. Then we headed to the splash pad. We will be back for sure.
