    Such a great place for family and kids. They have no limited about the time. I hope that they open late in the evening too. My baby is 16 months and she so excited to explore here. We bought ticket for her as the website said it's not free for baby over 12 months

    Pretend City children’s museum brings a unique twist to your average museum and allows children to fully express their emotions through learning. It enhances a child’s understanding of everyday things from grocery stores, emergency services, mechanics and the postal service. It teaches them about road safety through the use of a pretend traffic light system with road crossings and traffic lights. For the kids who want to get away from the noise a pretend library is also included with books.

    Toddler town is the best ! So much fun. Places to sit down and bring our snacks, and free parking. A great place to take the kids. My son always has a good time.

    We have been here twice and both times were great but definitely overwhelming for my little one. We went for the Martin Luther King Jr. Event and they had a beautiful speaker who did activities with the kids. I was not able to pull my son away from the interactive car shop to be able to listen in fully but it seemed very educational and engaging. They have a full water play area with water aprons and a full sandbox with clean sand and sand toys. There is a fire station, police station, and a car mechanic station with tools that actually work to take off the wheels, change the air filter, and the muffler. There is also a gas station with cars. We spent most of our time in that area but in the front there is a whole art area and a small pretend trader Joe's to go shopping. They also have a little restaurant where the kids can make pretend meals and I basically sat at a counter and my son brought me dishes and it as great. Again it is a very overwhelming atmosphere so for sensitive kiddos I would definitely check out their special sensory days. It is loud and crowded but my son loved it.
