The Children's Museum in Easton, North Easton, MA (4.5 smiles)

We went to The Children's Museum in Easton, North Easton, MA today and here is my review.....

Date:  3/4/2009

Parking:  Plenty.  There are spots along the street in front of the museum and a large lot behind the museum.

Gate/Admission: [$$$] $6.00 per person, children 1 year and under are free.  Staff is extremely friendly and attentive!

Birthday Parties:  Yes, see website for details.

Bathrooms:  There are two bathrooms.  Both are quite large with changing tables and stools for the children to step on to wash their hands (love the small details!).  The upstairs bathroom also has a small seat that you can strap your child into so you can use the potty!  Imagine that :).

Cleanliness:  The museum is clean.

Store:  There is a small store behind the counter where you pay admission.  They have educational toys, etc.  No food or drinks are sold here.

Overall:  Fabulous!!  We loved our time at the Children's Museum in Easton.  My son spent one hour on the main floor not even realizing that there were two other floors to explore!  There is so much to do in the museum.  They pay close attention to detail.  The camp area is adorable and they have so much hands on stuff that you can spend a lot of time at each exhibit.  I also love that they incorporate learning into playing and they also have so much for toddlers and older children to do that this makes for a perfect spot for families with multi-aged children.  We spent at least a half hour pushing balls down tubes and waiting for the bells to ring.  If you live anywhere near this museum, this is a must do!  We drove 2 1/2 hrs to go and it was well worth it.  We had a great day!  They have a lunch area in the lower level.  Bring your own lunch though they do not provide food or drinks.  One other note, if you are a stroller roller...not here.  With three floors there is no space for a stroller and no way really to get it up and down stairs.  We loved it.  I only wish we had a duplicate closer!!  I also noticed that in the summer they have an outdoor area for the children to play and picnic tables to sit at.  We will have to go back in the summer!
