So much fun to be had here for little ones. On holiday weekend cousins fro. 2 to 6 from all over the country got together for playtime. Great place to run off lots of energy. You do need to monitor your kids, but no biggie. Best part is you dont need to clean up! Enjoy

I absolutely love this city for kids. It is the cutest town where the kids' imagination can run wild. I even decided to have my daughter's 5th birthday here. The Play Street Museum has a grocery store, a bank, a petting store, a school, a fire station, etc. To watch the kids run, play, and laugh just brought joy to my heart. I worked very closely with Jaycie and she was amazing! I could not have asked for a more patient worker. Love this place!

I went with my siblings and knew there was a lot of interesting places in here to take cool pictures. I thought it would be bigger but it wasn’t bad! All the rooms were so unique. I loved the little hidden-under-staircase area (not sure what to call it) I LOVED the secret room. I felt like I could stay there forever. The music, colors, everything was so soothing in there. I want to go back to see how they updated the room -OG

We came to tour TrainTopia after our tour of the the Museum of the American Railroad. You can visit both places for a $15.00 ticket. We suggest doing both! It doesn't take long to see everything here, maybe 15 minutes or so. But we didn't do the scavenger hunt that the kids were doing. The N Scale layout that they have recently moved in from the Collin County mall (I hope I remembered that right!) is very interesting! Hopefully it will be operational, and have another spotlight or two soon. The docent from the railroad museum was nice enough to give us some information about that layout and it's history too.

Hands-on interactive exhibits in the areas of science and technology, history and culture, health and human development, and the arts.
Reviewed By newbietraveler
This is a world class kids museum with something for every age between 1-100. We spent the entire day there and could have easily spent another full day. If you are a local, a membership is a must. My only complaint is that there needs to be more museum employee supervision to help those kids who don't understand the instructions for some activities or to keep in check those kids who outright just don't follow the rules. Some areas of the museum are just pure chaos when the museum is busy.
