::Aside from the Smithsonian, this is the coolest Museum I have ever seen. My son and I have been here so many times and we have a blast every single time we go. They have an IMAX theater, an outdoor play Space, a garden, and inside, not only do they have different areas for different types of themed play, all of it is enriched with educational opportunities. The museum also host different events and educational presentations almost everyday of the week. If you live in the Raleigh area or are visiting and don't take your kids here, you are missing out on an amazing opportunity.

::This is a great place to take kids! My wife is a nanny and she convinced her employer to pay for a membership which is definitely worth it since they visit often. Plenty of sections and plenty of activities that are great for teaching kids. There's even a watercolor painting area! The staff is pretty awesome and take cleanliness seriously. Of the times that I've been (as a kid and also with my wife and the kid that she nannies when I have a day off work) I've never seen anything that could hurt my opinion of the place.

::We had a great time here with my niece. Lots of imaginative and educational exhibits, diverse crafts for all interests. You will have an enjoyable time. That said, I do think the museum can step up a little better, and ensure that the craft areas are stocked. Check that the games have all their pieces every once in a while. And you really should have adult supervision in the workshop/ tools area. Nobody wears eye protection, and the screwdrivers and saws can hurt someone. There were staff around, but I'm guessing they're unpaid volunteers. They kind of stood around in groups talking and not paying any mind to the kids and what they were doing. Watched a little kid joyfully flail around the hockey rink, almost took some other kid's eye out. Criticism sounds harsh, I know, but the place really is great enough to warrant the four stars. Five star experience for attentive and inventive parents.

::LOVE Marbles! I am a full time nanny and over the years I have taken multiple little ones to this museum. Can't say enough good things. Obviously very kid friendly, staff are so nice and helpful, and you can spend hours playing and not get bored! Will always keep coming back to this wonderful place!

::This place was awesome!! So much stuff for the low price of $7 per person. Plus bank of America card holders were free the first weekend of the month! The place is huge! We were there for 2 hours and didn't get to see everything. All of the exhibits were awesome and so much fun. The only complaint would be that they close too early! We would have stayed much later if they stayed open past 5.
