This is an excellent Museum for kids, the Museum has a ton of exploratory things to see touch and participate in and also has the Play area outside for kids, its really a great way to spend the day if you're in the area.

Manatee Lagoon

Reviewed By 244marissat

This is a fairly quick winter stop to see manatees. They gather around the power plant for warmth in the winter months, so the best time to catch them is when the temperature is chillier than usual. I love watching them swim slowly along and stick their little cow snouts above the water to take a breath. There is a little museum/education center in the building, where you can learn more about these fascinating creatures. There’s also a little gift shop inside.

The Children's Museum of Boca Raton

Reviewed By 1CatchTheWind1

My now 4-year old granddaughter and I have made a few visits here since she was a toddler, and she always loves it. Don't expect anything grand - it's just an old house with each room set up as a play space, plus some things to do outdoors. Currently, one room is a fully-stocked grocery store, another is a veterinarian's office, one is a dress-up/theater/music space, and one is what I call the "boy room" - it has a little house with construction tools, and some police and fire gear. There is also a mini room with some large magnetic tiles, a huge light-up pegboard in the little lobby area, and a room for babies to explore. Outside are some ride-on toys, a pirate ship/slide, and a huge water table. They offer daily story reading and an arts & crafts class for a small extra fee. (The young lady who currently teaches it is the niece of a museum-recognized artist who obviously loves her job and is fantastic with the parents and the kids!) I would like to see more chairs scattered around the place so the grown-ups can sit while the kids play, and I wish it were open on Sundays, since that's when many grandparents and working parents are looking for things to do with the kids!
