We love Thinkery. My child can spend an hour or more playing with the water activities alone. We have visited a few times but this time was on Museum day which was extremely busy because it was free entry. This is the best place for inquisitive children, but also great for adults.

Our children were just outside the range of perfection. Our son is 11 and found some of the activities interesting but not for too long, and our daughter is 7 months old and enjoyed grabbing everything and putting it in her mouth. Still a great experience

Had a great time, kiddo loved all the different types of engaged activities to do. Time well spent and even tired out the kiddo at the end. It was nice to sit back and see the kiddo explore. Definitely coming back! Great for a family with multiple kids for sure!
In summer, enjoy splash features in Our Backyard; in cooler months, dress baby in layers for outdoor play.
