This place is a GIFT. In a word: resources. It’s a huge complex with so many areas I’ve been going for years and still can’t say I know it completely. It’s always surprisingly clean, offering science and cultural activities, always hands on, indoor and outdoor, personnel is always friendly and knowledgeable. In the makers area you find everything your kids might need to make stuff, they even have laser cutting machines, copy machines, in their shop. Every Thursday family night with free entrance, covered parking is usually just 5 dollars.

Great experience with the family. Now, I haven't been since I was a kid myself so there's obviously new additions. Kidtropolis was very engaging and hands on for the kiddos. They still have the giant telephone man made of land line phones. The biggest nostalgic memory that made my day was that they had the SAME blue van in the Mexican village section of the museum!!! My kids climbing in and playing around like I used to do almost 30 years ago, really made my day.

I visited a similar museum in VA and the cost for my daughter & I was 10bucks combined....(you can view my review for that children's museum)

Here, parking was 10bucks. The total event cost 45dollars... cost alone is why I gave 3 stars

The best part about this museum is the Mexico-themed area they have. That was delightful and great to see, especially in TX

Nice place to bring the kids. They have so many interesting things for kids to play. We went on weekend and really crowded. Can’t really enjoy everything because too many people. I think during weekday will be the best to go.

It was a fun experience, definitely more than we could do in a morning! We have a membership and it's totally worth it if you're near this location or the Fort Bend Discovery Center. The miniature town was fun and is current Mexico themed (some of the older pictures show a different theme for the town - those are either outdated or from the Fort Bend Discovery Center). Staff was great, helpful, and there's even a little library here!

My daughter loves going here. She always has a blast. Her favorite areas are the outdoor waterworks and the downstairs physics/engineering area. The membership is worth it if you are planning to visit multiple times a year.

I wish I dedicated more time for city pass attractions. If you have kids and you want them to learn and play at same time, this is it…absolutely amazing experience.

It is so much fun 🤩

Parking is a little cumbersome so wear sneakers as it will be a long walk.

You know I was very surprised by this place.. I was pretty skeptical at first from the outside.. but man this was a blast. Tons and tons to do, keeping the kiddo thought process working throughout. There are tons of little projects to do, inside playground to beat the heat, a very nice parking deck, I didn't try the cafe though but it smelt amazing. Definitely recommend for the kiddos!
