Children’s Museum In Easton

Nice little place for kids 0 – 5 years old. Nothing for older kids. Place is a little run down and staff can be snobby. Lots of fun activities for little ones. 8 and older will get bored especially on a rainy day here.

At first look my son and niece weren’t to excited when we got there. i secretly wanted to turn around to ask for a refund. Maybe it was the size of the house or the way we build it up in our mind. However we gave it a chance, the staff were great with them and they seem happy creating. My son even said «mom i didn’t think i was gonna like it, but it was fun» So who am i to say otherwise.

I don’t know how this place has such good reviews. It costs $ 9 per person to get in, but thankfully we had a ½ price ticket from our library and we got a teacher discount.
The «museum» is basically like going to someone’s messy house and playing with their toys. Just go to a friend’s house and play with their toys if you need to get out of the house. It’s free and probably more fun.
There are no elevators. Just two floors of miserable, messy rooms with toys. Just stay away from this place.

This place was great! Even when it was busy, we had a great time. Clean, fun experiences for kids of many ages. My children are 2 ½ and 5, and I was able to keep tabs on both by myself on a busy Saturday afternoon. We can’t wait to go back!

It’s a cute museum but way too small and rundown for the price. Also they are supposed to be open until 5 pm but told us to leave the lower floor area at 4:50 and then refused to sell us anything from the gift shop at 5 till 5 because they closed the register at 4:45.
All in all, definitely not worth the price and we didn’t appreciate the rush to get us out the door after paying 27 dollars for 3 of us.

What a great find! It’s small, clean, simple, and well thought out. Good for smaller children, probably 1−7yrs max. (It’s nice to go somewhere and not worry about your little ones getting trampled by bigger kids.) The space is well utilized with a lot for your kids to do without being overwhelming. Their imaginations can run wild as they play and explore the 3-​story museum. The toys are good quality and well maintained. Just outside the entrance is a nice outdoor space with picnic benches and more room for you kids to run around. If you’re looking to avoid the craziness and crowds of bigger museums, this is the place to go. Overall it’s a great laid back place to take your kids, and one you’ll enjoy too.

At first glance, it looks like a tiny place. But my 2.5 year old seems to love this place, always asking to go back. Perhaps it’s the variety of things in a small space so it doesn’t overwhelm the little ones.
The garden outside is included with the admission. Cute on a sunny day, there is a sandbox/​pit in which one can dig for dinosaurs.
We make a Sunday out of it by eating brunch at The Farmer’s Daughter down the block. Fun family day.

What a great spot! So much fun for kids of all ages. A small place, but packed with fun things to do with the kids.

Avoid It! I took my 16 month-​old there last weekend was really disappointed. The stairways don’t have any gates or doors, so I found that to be really unsafe. The areas for play are baron, and really not that fun. The place was really cold and smelled like a toilet too. It has 3 floors, but really 2 because the basement level is really just a function room with one or two play toys. We spent a total of 45 minutes there and wont go back. Probably better for those 3 years and up, but the dirty bathrooms did it in for me.

I found this place when searching for new things to do with the kids. I was surprised to see some negatives things said about it on here so I went to check it out. It sits in downtown North Easton off Route 24 near Brockton. I had never been down to this area and is was an easy ride.
This place is in an old fire station which was remodeled for this museum. It is 3 floors and you can still see remnants of the old station which is cool. They even have old pics on the wall showing old fire engines and the fire team that was housed here. The inside is nice and small which is adequate for little kids like 2 – 5. The good thing about this place, it is manageable compared to the craziness of the Boston Children’s Museum. It is easier to get in and out and is less crowded and you don’t have to pay for parking. The admission is $ 7.50 and the best thing is if you are a member of the Boston museum, you get in free on the reciprocal program and vice versa. The inside is designed almost like Boston with various hands on exhibits and things to touch and play with. The rocket ship is cool with buttons and there is a pirate ship and a fireman’s pole, dinosaurs, puppet theatre, doctors office etc. Lots of things to climb on and interact with. The stuff is in good shape and it is clean with restrooms and hand sanitizer. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they even host birthday parties. Highly recommended.

For a small museum, this place is great. They have ship, where the little ones can pull up lobsters, a pirate hide away, stage they can dance on. My kids love that they have face paint. Upstairs there is a dinosaur room, doctor’s office, and fire station area. The downstairs rooms, focus on science, with ball drops, magnets, etc.
There is no room for strollers, as the museum is an old fire station, so put the baby in the Bjorn and have a great time.
Also in the spring/​summer, there is an outdoor play area.
2 clean bathrooms, with supplies for little ones.
I would recommend this museum for 1 – 6 year olds. Also if you are a member of Boston Children’s museum, you get in free here.
My only negative would be on weekends and vacations, it gets very crowded in here.

Top of the line! Our 1^st choice!
