★★★★★Joelle Allen

This place is free and open to the public, its absolutely beautiful and so enjoyable for little kids! I will say it is surrounded by parking lots and kind of hilly so if you have younger kids you have to be very careful. But overall it was absolutely beautiful and so well maintained! My kids could have spent all day here!

★★★★★Megan R

Beautiful outdoor extension of the museum!

★★★★★Jesse Bisceglia

The theming here was fantastic! Each area had a little house or play structure or decorative element along with book in a mailbox that relates to the surrounding area. You can really tell how much care went into every square foot of this place. I suggest sitting in the hanging chair and drinking a Dunkin iced pumpkin coffee as I did. Highly recommended. Oh, also, I'm sure my kid must've had fun. Just kidding, he definitely had fun.

Artistically designed garden, filled with surprises for kids, and a variety of colorful flowers. Features a phone booth, a real police car, a bear house, and lot more. Kids will not be disappointed if you take them there.

★★★★★Jessica Marie

Such an amazing place for kids to play. There is so much fun and adventure. There are slides and things to climb but not really any playground equipment per-say, it's so much more than that, it's a land of discovery. All my kids absolutely loved it here, especially having lunch then playing on nice days after the Discovery Center.
