Here are some reviews on Children’s Museum
What a wonderful find! My 20 month old grandson loves our weekly visit to the museum! Every week we discover something new and fun! Highly recommend!
Anyone with little ones you have to go to the Cape Cod Children’s Museum, they are amazing and the kids has a blast!!! Like a huge indoor playground with lots of pretend play.
Enjoyed an afternoon out of the heat and my 17 month old had a blast! He loved every minute of it.
Museum itself had many areas to explore and was not too crowded. Would recommend for any young family looking for a little respite from the sun or rain.
This is a children’s play place in Mashpee minutes from the traffic circle. It had many j interactive games and experiences, while teaching kids about various topics. Plan on spending some time there, since there is lots to do! Parking is right out front. If you ask, you can leave and reenter later in the day. Great place to go on a hot day, or a cold and rainy day. Check their hours first, since they are seasonal.
We visited with our daughter and granddaughter. The museum is a wonderful open space with all types of props and role play opportunities…Pirate Ship, Grocery Store, Kitchen and many more. Our then 5-year-old granddaughter had the best time with a friend she found, going from one activity to another. The staff was very attentive and sweet.
We took a 3 year old and an 18 month old to the Children’s Museum and they loved it. It’s not really a kids Museum, but a big play area with educational themed play areas such as a submarine play house, a train, a boat, etc. There is plenty to keep young kids entertained for several hours. Be prepared to chase your kid around because they’ll be constantly running from one play area to the next.
We took our granddaughter Excellent place to spend a morning or entire day with children of all ages 18 months – 12 years old. Very interesting activities that keep the children active and participating.
I brought my twins down the Cape for the weekend. We googled nearby activities and up pops the Children’s Museum, I assumed it would be just like any other little museum we have been too. However it is absolutely not. Warmly greeted, directed us to everything we might need. So many different learning tools I haven’t seen yet. Music, but using all types of instruments the kids had not seen. Log cabin, fishing area, submarine, vet area, floating balls, puzzles. Not just matching the pieces but actually forming a shape or letter so the kids really needed to try and figure it out. The handkerchief in a tube was there jam. They loved that one. I am pretty sure she was the owner (painting a boat in the corner) was so nice, chatting and giving a little history to me on the museum while the kids played. Just so many fun things my little ones had yet to experience and it was awesome. As we were finishing up my son, had the biggest meltdown. Biting, kicking, scratching me it was a nightmare. The other woman that was at the desk – was SO sweet and calm and gave me advice in the moment and I really needed it. She didn’t side eye me or make me feel bad she told me I was doing great and to hang on and it just stuck with me. Loved the entire experience, next visit down the Cape we will ABSOLUTELY be back. Thank you!!
