⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great space for kids parties, had my daughters party here with all her classmates and they had a helper in the party room and directing kids to the museum after the party to play! Well worth the money!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Lots of activities for kids to play. Water fountain, treehouse, cruise ship, art center, and a climbing ramp. Kids love it and can stay there for hours.

A great choice to take kids to in the Tacoma area. The museum has a lot to offer and the staff did a great job at interacting with my son and showing us how to do certain activities!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of my favorite places to take littles! Such a nice, safe, clean space for kids to play. Pay by donation is amazing for underprivileged families!

What a treasure for parents and toddlers. My boy had a wonderful time here especially in the splash zone, it was very helpful that they had these little aprons so they didn’t get soaked in seconds.
