Our son was probably a bit too young for this place, but it was awesome still. Unlike anywhere I’ve been before - basically an extremely unique playground. Full review by Anna T
What is the youngest age that can fully enjoy the museum? I know they have things for 3 yr olds, but what’s the youngest ideal age to enjoy most of the museum exhibits?
A:

It’s a big place and we went on a busy Saturday and that was the only issue I had.
