Marbles Kids Museum

My 8 year old had so much fun here, we could've spent the whole day exploring the different areas. This was our family's favorite attraction when visiting the area and it's designed for all age groups. On the first floor, you can see a bus after passing around the corner from the ticket counter and they have other vehicles behind it, a puppet show area, pretend bet center with X-ray machines than register the animal type you scan and display an image, tools and exam tables. They also have a vegetable harvesting area with a huge silo, delivery truck, grocery store with baskets and carts, checkout counters with moving conveyer belts and scanners, and a cooking area with stoves and dining. From there you can head to the next area with water play that includes smocks to keep the kids dry and they have workers to help the kids understand the physics of water. Past that are a couple other rooms including a low light quiet reading room that's ocean themed, a giant pirate ship indoor play gym, and another room we didn't check. Upstairs there are several other activities seemingly for older kids (I would guess 5+) including a money room with a lot of small balls shooting around. Near that we found a large building block play area, and a wood working section with real wood and tools you can work with your kiddo to build an item you can make. There is an area you can paint it or paper in the same room and mounted glass the kids can use as reusable canvas to paint as well. This was the last area we got to explore before leaving to eat at the cafe on site. The cafe is next to the imax across the courtyard (near the entrance) with cute kids friendly sunflower butter and jelly piano shaped sandwich, rocket shaped quesadilla, and a couple others. I included photos of the menu. Be sure to check their hours if you plan to go because it differs from the museum hours.

So many fun activities. It took us about 3 hours to go through the entire building, spending a small amount of time in each area, but we didn't even do all areas because some are geared towards slightly older kids and we have a toddler. There is so much to do and it's a two-story building. I wish we could have spent the whole day there in order to spend more time in each area. There are rooms with different themes like camping, cooking, and ocean. There's a water area with a river, paddles, boats, sprayers, water-tornado tank, and other fun interactive things. There's a submarine to play in and press buttons. There's a large boat to climb up and explore. My son loved that. There are playgrounds for toddlers with large foam cushions to climb on. There's a fort-building area with large Legos, pillows and cushions. There's an animation studio where you see your drawing come to life. There's technology sections to learn about wind, air suction, and electricity. There are large rooms built to be like a town with a veterinary, news caster studio, farm, grocery store, restaurant/kitchen, pizza kitchen with pizza oven, and more - there's a large area like that both on the first and second floor. There's slides and small caves built into the walls for children to play. There's an indoor jungle gym on the second floor with a twisting slide. Kids can put foam balls into chutes and pipes and see them roll all around the room through the other pipes and on rails. Kids can turn wheels to move conveyors that take the balls up to the ceiling and then they roll down on rails. Kids can play dress up and pretend. There's a section with lots of Legos and you can attach the Legos to the walls. Outside there's other play structures, a large sandbox, and a garden. This children's place is probably best for ages 1-7. Above that a kid can still have fun in some areas, but there's less to do for really big kids. It's fantastic for toddlers and young kids. My son was running around laughing and babbling. He was so excited to explore and try everything. He loved getting to meet other kids and play. We saw him become so much more expressive than we usually see him. Going to a place like this is great for children's development and learning. Tickets can be bought in advance online and you should, because they sell them for time slots and the time can quickly fill up. When we went at 1:15pm, we did not buy tickets in advance, so we had to buy tickets for 2:00pm and wait. There are small outdoor playgrounds you can access without a ticket and a great toy store, so if you have to wait a little while it's not too bad and you can still keep your kid entertained. We took pictures and walked around the toy store until it was our time.

A fantastic kids’ museum with activities for children of all ages! There are plenty of hands-on exhibits that keep kids engaged and entertained for hours. The science section, in particular, is fascinating—educational and fun, even for the grown-ups! However, it can get very busy during public holidays, so plan your visit accordingly to avoid crowds. Overall, it’s a great place for a family day out, and the kids love it. Highly recommend!
