We have walked past this a few times and every time it seems really packed so we never got a chance to enter. We finally made our way in and this is such a perfect place for families. First of all, it is free! Within the City Hall district, this is one of the 2 free kids museum I know of - the other being Children's Museum (you can read our reviews here!)
In comparison, I found the activities here a lot more art-driven and had some hands-on activities that spur creativity. As one of kid is more into crafts etc., he had a wonderful time exploring. If we didn't come at a really odd time between the 2 slots, I think they would have stayed up to 3 hours. My photos didn't come out really good, think their lighting may not be the most photos-friendly.
As a parent, I like that the place was really spacious with even a calm pod for them to cool down. The activities we did that was also pretty uncommon, compared to indoor playgrounds etc. So I thought it provided quite a good experience and also exposure for them. They tried drawing with a 3D pen. Donations are optional, but we decided to contribute because the filament ain't cheap and to a certain extent, I would like to help keep nice initiative like this going.
As an adult, some activities were also pretty refreshing for me. For me, this was a great find. Because sometimes I do bring the kids out on my own and am stuck in a limbo in between activities. A place like this (especially when it is free)
helps me to keep them entertained and contained in a safe, family-friendly environment. Older kids (primary school kids and above) may struggle to stay impressed.
