This museum has recently moved from a cramped building to a huge one in Fairmount Park. It was not difficult to find and parking was so easy. I took my grandson and what was so wonderful was that I just had to follow him around and let him do basically whatever he wanted. It was great.

WHYY (channel 12) staff were there and they were nicer to the white customers. The Please Touch Museum staff was rude and did not seem interested in assisting me at all, however was very nice and enthusiastic to the white customers. I will never go back. My child was not happy and felt as though we were treated differently and does not want to go back. We are African American. We left and went over to the Franklin Institute and had a great time. They need to train thier staff on being equally friendly to eveyone that brings their children and if they are going to invite WHYY to be there, they need to request friendly non-biased staff. It's not worth the trip.
Cons: Rude Management, rude staff, biased guest

My girls loved the market. I love any museum or place that is child friendly. There are not many as friendly as the Please Touch Museum. They offer membership packages that seem very good.

I was invited to a birthday party at a museum! Yikes! I just couldn't imagine any parent taking care of 6 children at a museum, let along one, but this parent did a great job. After the parents dropped off the little guys, Maria the birthday girl's mom, with help from the staff, took the children all through the museum. This is the first time, that I actually saw staff allowing children to touch any thing they liked. In fact, children are encouraged to touch all of the displays. I even had a great time, playing with some of the displays. This is a great place for any family, even a family with very young children. I do recommend that the parents bring antibacterial soap with them, just in case they want to get a bite to eat later.

This is such a great Museum for kids and parents too. There is so much to do and so much for the kids to see. They have a play supermarket which is great for the kids, an Alice in Wonderland Exhibit (right now) and a story garden. It is a great place for kids to explore.

My son had such a good time visiting this museum. Everything is hands on and interactive. The exhibits are wonderful and, my son??s favorite was the miniature supermarket. Everything is made just the right size for kids and their little hands. He also enjoyed the Septa bus and pretending to drive. The only downside to this museum would be the location. It is situated on a very busy street in Center City Philadelphia and there is no parking. You most likely would have to park in a garage which are typically not cheap. Otherwise, this is an awesome place to spend the day with the kids.

We actually went to the Cherry Hill location on Springdale Road. Kids love this place. There is plenty for them to see and do. It is fairly priced but you can spend a fair amount of time here and the children will not be bored. We have gone back a few time and have brought visiting family. They were happy to go and it helped entertain the children for the day

This is a unique and fun place for everyone in the family to enjoy - make sure you bring you camera or video camera because this is one place your kids will love to watch themselves having fun at - over and over .
Plan to spend a few hours also this is not a quick in and out place- its hard to get the kids out at the end of the day !
Lots of places for ones imagination to go -
work in a g rocery store- fly a plane- drive a bus -
- ride a monorail - be a part of your favorite book
- all things are fun and ineteractive and learning at the same time .
They have a small snack machine area for snacks but
i would reccomend packing your own to bring along .
Parking can be hard to find - i had to park a few blocks down the street in an open lot . so if planning to meet a friend there make sure to give yourself some extra time to park and get to the museum .
