My daughter loves this place and is perfect for kids under 5, however......couple of things...this place is great when they are have special occasions such as Halloween or Princess themes and such, on these days with the price of admission you make a craft which is included (expect crowding) and get treats....the thing I dont like is the fact you... more

I went with my two nieces, 2 and 6 and they had a great time! They had something for both of them. The museum kept them entertained and the staff was helpful and engaging with the kids. I like that they had programs for the kids. We went to the fairy tale skit where the girls got to have a... more

My wife went shopping with friends while I took our kids (ages 4 and 6) here. Some of the exhibits were showing signs of age, but most were great and really entertaining-- the kids were thrilled. We spent 2 1/2 hours there, my daugher must have tried on a dozen different costumes (my son loved the firetruck). I actually played... more

We hadn't been to the museum for a couple of years and were pleasantly suprised by how fresh it looked and how much our kids enjoyed it. Jonah, our 4 year old loved this virtual reality soccer game , and a new neat driving game with a giant TV. Sarah, our 2 yr old loved this giant colored light box... more

We attended a 4 year olds' great birthday party here. Lots of fun for little ones-- they liked the fire engine, the dress up in the castle, and the little grocery store especially. Plan to spend at least two hours~ bring your camera! Their website is njcm.com. more

Sadly, like a lot of other children's establishments, this was probably nice when it opened. Somewhere along the line the owners of such places need to realize that you need to REFURBISH and REPLACE. It is worn and dirty. So much so I would never go here again, you feel like you need to bathe your child in Purel before... more

I have gone to the Children's Museum 3 times in the last 2 years - each time found it more disappointing. This is more of an expensive play area than a museum. There are fire engines to climb on, and fake caves and a castle to walk into, but few interactive, learning activities. I expect more for the $8 entry.... more

My husband and I took our 3 yr old daughter to the "Halloween Spooktacular", and quite frankly were somewhat disappointed. The admission fee of $10.00/child and $8.00/adult seemed high for what was offered. The website advertised trick or treating "throughout the museum", however, you are given 4 orange tickets to exchange for treat bags and all are the same -... more
