My children really love the Children's Museum! It is a wonderful "hands on" museum that promotes learning through experimenting and playing. They offer all kinds of inovative hands-on exhibits in science and technology, history and culture, health and human development, and the arts. Thursday is family night. It's free admission for everyone from 5 p.m.- 8 p.m. It's great place for families of all ages!

This is one of my favorite museums in Houston. There is always something in here that you probably would not have imagined before. It is a really great experience. They also have a really fun gift shop. I had lived in houston for about two years before venturing out to this museum and I am so sorry I waited that long. Go go go! It is such a neat space which really complements the art. Be sure to go downstairs and don't miss the shop and a whole other display area.

I really like the Children's Museum of Houston. It is a wonderful museum that provides hands on learning for children of all ages. It's great for families to come together because it's encouraged. Children are encouraged to learn through experimenting and playing. They have really nice galleries and on each floor is a staff to help out their customers. They really know their stuff and are willing to happily help. It also doesn't cost a lot to come here. So it's also great for school field trips.

My children and I were blown away by this treasure! There are so many different exhibits that I could never begin to tell you of them all. They have the Tot Area which is great for the little ones to have a safe place to play and learn to explore and experiment. The loads of educational toys gives even the tiniest of visitors much needed stimulation. Not only is every bit of it educational, every bit of it is fun and presented in a way that makes kids actually be interested. It is extremely hands on and I even learned a few things while visiting! You can't beat this place for the price!

If you have a child between the ages of six months and eight years, they will love it. Older children will like it also, but not as much as the younger children. If your child is six months to two years there is an area for them and their parents only. Everything in this area is age appropriate and sanitized after each child's use. No uncovered shoes are allowed. This helps keep down the spread of germs. . The two to four year olds will love the super market , The play area and house outside is also a hit. For the school age children there are lots of hands on activities, TV stations to run, and other countries to visit. Make sure you don't tell them that they are learning anything. Thursday evenings after five is family night, and it's free.

I love the Children's museum. I take the kids there on the weekends to get a little culture & education in their lives, not to mention they have a great time. They have all types of games, and interesting engaging activities for kids. These activities and exhibits include cultures from around the world. The diversity is amazing. It is educational for parents as well. They have family nights on Thursday, where it is free for everyone. Located near the Medical center and very kid friendly.

This museum is WONDERFUL! It provides a great hands-on learning environment and family learning is highly encouraged throughout the museum, so you can have fun playing with your kids while they learn. Children are encouraged to learn through play and experimentation. The have many terrific galleries, each of which engages the child's mind. Finally, the staff people, which are on the floor in nearly every exhibit, are great sources of information and exceedingly helpful. Pros: Very Inexpensive, Helpful Staff, Hands-on learning Cons: Not much for age 13+

What a wonderful museum for kids and parents to learn about the earth that they live on. I remember when I used to go here, that I would play around with their car and velocity exhibit and with the news and movie production exhibit. The fun that is produced in the children just from learning shall make you smile. I still believe that on Thursdays kids get in free or for a minimal cost.
