The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum Reviews

We all at home are Dr. Seuss’ fans! So when I heard about this place we know we have to visit! Especially when you’re traveling with kids. The museum is beautifully and colorfully filled with Dr. Seuss amazing characters and quotes and games. Kids can meet, touch, and play with Cat in the Hat, Thidwhick, Horton, Thing 1 Thing 2 and more. We can also see the life of Dr. Seuss when he was younger.

Outside, there’s a National Sculpture Garden of Dr. Seuss as well, with lovely bronze statues of this famous author and all those characters as well.

The price of the ticket is $25 for adult, $13 for kids and $16 for senior. And you can visit 5 museums of Springfield with the same ticket. So not bad, right.

We drove approximately 3 hours from NYC to go here.

We really had fun!

Distills all that is whimsical and wonderful about Dr. Seuss's works. Every wall is covered with his art and his words, and there are rooms full of items from his stories brought to life. Go ahead and sit on that seven-hump wump. If you ever read One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish,Blue Fish, you can't NOT do it.

We were on vacation visiting Six Flags New England and visited this museum on a whim because we wanted to break up the day a bit. Two teenagers with us and it reminded us of all our favorite children’s books with life sized replicas of all the characters. The history and inspirations of Dr. Suess was interesting. Admission was for 5 small museums and we had a nice afternoon! There was also a free memorial garden with statues of some characters in the courtyard among the museums. A little pricey in my opinion but we enjoyed it!

Our 2 & 4 year olds absolutely loved this stop. Nonstop play and endless opportunity to plop down with one of his books to read! Every room had something interactive for everyone. I’m sure Dr. Seuss would be so tickled to see his legacy come alive! Don’t miss this stop if you have small children!

We visited CT for a wedding and arrived too early to check in. We were looking for something to do when we came across the Dr. Seuss Museum. It is a kid friendly place, but as an adult I enjoyed it so much. This museum is also a part of 3 others in the same courtyard. For one price you can visit all four. It is a great way to enjoy an afternoon .

My husband particularly enjoyed the car and motorcycle display and the Smith and Wesson area.

This is one of 5 museums with the Springfield Museum. It is done up like a house and each of the Seuss characters is installed in a room based on the book. The second floor has a lot of exhibits dealing with his life. Some of his correspondence between people, awards that he won and other items pertaining to his life.

The museum did not disappoint. Well done and very interesting information was learned about Dr Seuss. Enjoyable for all ages.

I worried that the 9 year old would not be impressed by Dr Seuss, I need not have!! She loved it as did I. He is timeless and ageless and they did a nice job on the displays.

This museum is NOT good for children age 5-6 or under. It is colorful, but there is almost nothing for a toddler to do but climb on stationary colorful figures. There is one display where they can move colorful plastic light-up sticks among different holes in the display and that's about it. The arts and crafts section downstairs was giving out one piece of construction paper and a piece of tape to make into a ..... hat? And a coloring page. And some tables and chairs and books to read. Nothing else in the way of arts and crafts. Lots of historical photos and info interesting only to adults. This museum is probably best as nostalgia for adults who remember Dr Seuss from their childhood. We paid $85 for 2 adults, 2 seniors and one toddler and visited only Dr Seuss since other museums also not good for toddlers. That's $85 we'll never get back!

We went there with our 17 month old granddaughter. She thoroughly enjoyed it. We did too. We will return the next time we are in Springfield.

One of the museums within the Dr. Seuss "complex" in Springfield. WE spent a great hour looking at the wonderful art exhibits. Particularly enjoyed the exhibit of Van Gogh memorabilia and art copies.
Visit it if you can. You will like it as well.

You are never too old for Dr. Seuss! The museum is set up well to learn about Dr. Seuss and have a good, whimsical time. A lot of personal items that were donated by the generosity of his family. I just kept smiling the whole time. The sculpture garden was also beautiful.

What can I say about the Springfield Museum’s “Amazing World of Dr Seuss” exhibit, other than splendiferous. This is the museum I have waited my whole life for.

I, like many people, have been a huge fan of Dr Seuss since I was a young child. I grew up with Seuss being read to me, reading it myself, watching the “Grinch” every Christmas, and just being in awe of the wonder and imagination of Dr Seuss. Theodore Seuss Geisel created the most amazing collection of children’s books that have ever been printed. His imagination and creativity were other-worldly. The creatures he created, the tales he told, the lessons we learned, and the love we have for Dr Seuss know no bounds.

I had every Dr Seuss book ever produced, as new ones were revealed to us, I got those too. I had the little plastic ‘bookshelves’, and I collected any Dr Seuss collectibles I could find (Pre Jim Carey Grinch). My favourite Character was always Thidwick the big-hearted moose. This book was just twisted enough that even as a young child I took pleasure in the ending, and the little life lesson has resonated with me into adulthood.

I have been to the Dr Seuss Memorial Sculpture gardens many times over the years, and I love it. Always a must stop on our RoadTrips through Massachusetts. I have many photos of us with each of the sculptures from each time we visited. When I heard that there was going to be a Dr Seuss Museum, I was filled with such joy, you can’t even imagine.

The museum opened in June of 2017, and we visited in August, and this museum is not only everything I had hoped for, it is beyond my wildest dreams. The exhibits are so amazing. All of your favourite Characters are there - Cat in the Hat, Horton, Yertle, Fox in Socks, Thing One and Thing Two, The Lorax, Sam I Am, and many, many more. You can play on (some) of the sculptures, pose for photos with them, play with the interactive exhibits, and take in the wonder and amazement of this beautiful museum.

Every corner of the space is “Seussian” , even the restrooms, and the hallway to the restroom is very Instagram-worthy. In fact, all of the exhibits are perfectly contained and framed in back drops that each photo is a perfect Instagram moment.

There is so much for everyone to see and do here. Kids are going to love this place, but let’s not kid ourselves, adults of all ages will love this just as much, maybe more.

Oh, The places you will go, when you visit Springfield, MA and visit the Springfield museums. The Dr Seuss exhibit will know your (Fox in) Socks off.

This is just an amazing museum. It is absolutely perfect for children and for those who love Dr. Seuss. When you walk in the door, it is like walking into one of his books. It is very "hands on" for children with activities kids can do. The second floor offers the history of Dr. Seuss - who was born in Springfield Mass. There was a docent there who gave us such a thorough account of the life of Dr. Seuss and shared so much about the memorabilia. Just excellent. While there, also check out the sculpture garden done by his stepdaughter. We bought admission as part of a package with five museums to tour and all within close walking distance. It was a wonderful afternoon.

The house is so much fun! Sculptures outside are great. This is fun for kids and adults alike - we would go back. Plan 60-90 minutes to take it all in, and then save time for the other museums next door (we especially liked the Science museum).

This is a beautiful place to bring your family, go alone on a beautiful day, or with friends. It takes you back to the amazing books you grew up reading. I would recommend this to anyone. Please give it a chance because you will not be disappointed. The outside statues are gorgeous. I don't like to call them statues but the were handmade by an artist. It is like a beautiful garden so nice weather is best.

This glorious, fantastic museum is wonderful for both kids and for adults who grew up reading Dr Seuss, who was a native of Springfield. The museum is colorful and interactive, and has exhibits from a lot of Dr Seuss' stories, like the Cat in the Hat and Who-Ville. The first floor is more aimed at younger kids, with interactive exhibits, like rhyming games and fun vocabulary games. The second floor highlights major parts of the author's life, with a recreation of part of his home, family photographs, and other memorabilia.

This museum is part of the Springfield museums, so you need to purchase a ticket for all of the museums. The tickets for the Dr. Seuss Museum are timed on the hour. They suggest you reserve tickets in advance, but we arrived at 5 past 1 and were able to get in on the 1 o'clock time. They do not limit how long you can stay. The first floor is a colorful, interactive children's museum My daughter LOVED!!!! this floor. There were computer interactives that helped with rhyming, and learning your alphabet. There was a lego area (red fish, blue fish), a stacking game (Yertle the turtle) and a play kitchen area (Seuss's Bakery). Throughout it all there were figures of popular Dr. Seuss characters to play with. In the basement there were interactive educational activities and games. The second floor is more of a traditional museum where the story of Theodor Geissle was told. We will definitely be returning soon!!

This is a great place for anyone that loves or even likes Dr. Seuss.Every room inside is painted in Seuss colors and designs. There are books, toys, activities, and everything Seuss that you could possibly think of. Children and adults will all find something to love here.. Well worth the trip...

Brings out the kid in everyone. Great for younger kids who are still beginning to enjoy his books as it provides lots of engagement with the characters from his books. And of course lots of photo-ops everywhere.
I personally enjoyed the second floor - especially the original sketches, cards and letters written by Theodor Seuss over his lifetime, and photos and artefacts collected, preserved and curated by the family. He was such a brilliant and witty jokester, ...and of course a storyteller-genius like no other.
I would have liked to understand his career path a little bit more. And also have access to a good book that I could buy about his life and photos of the curated artefacts/letters.

Went with our 16 month old. Was a great museum. Highly recommend for kids of all ages. I wouldn't recommend the top floor for young kids though as it is more of an actual museum gallery and nothing for little kids to play with. Lots of things they can break though!
We bought tickets ahead of time and we were good we did as it was very crowded. We went on a Saturday at 11am. I will say that it was a little too crowded for my liking, especially since there was a girl scout troop there running around.
One thing to note, their gift shop is not kid friendly. We were spoken to rudely by a worker when my son picked up a toy truck, which we were going to buy, but instead we we're yelled at "don't let him do that". I don't understand why this was an issue in a kids toy area. This left a sour taste in my mouth and we will certainly not be returning to the store. We did take advantage of being able to go into the other museums and went to the science museum as well which was great, but we had to rent a locker since diaper bag s/large bags weren't allowed. Which was also fairly annoying, but understandable.

What luck that the Seuss museum had just opened the week prior to our arrival. This is one of the most enjoyable museums I've ever seen. I would go back in an instant if I lived closer.

Parking is free and the admission price is for the five museums and galleries surrounding the Seuss sculpture garden.

We had a timed ticket to enter the Seuss Museum. We selected 1 p.m. and the next available after that was 2 p.m. At first, it seemed a bit chaotic but the crowds quickly dissipated and we found ourselves almost alone toward the end of the hour. There were many games, activities, and interactive features for all ages. The walls had paintings from Seuss books, and some characters were re-created in plastic. One area of particular interest contained some of Geisel's notes and letters. Great fun to read. There was a replica of his living room, and work space, and misc family pieces.

It is a great place for kids of all ages. There are all sorts of fun activities for the young children and plenty of nostalgia for adults.

This museum has interactive displays and 3 levels of a lot of fun. No, you do not have to be a fan of his books to come here. The Place is very well decorated and it has some very rare collection of Dr. Seuss who has the #1 selling English book for kids in the world. The Cat in the Hat who usually comes on on tv every afternoon on PBS is around and you can take a picture with him and other Famous Characters as well.

A fun experience to learn more about Dr. Seuss. The colors and sculpture garden make for amazing pictures!

This is a great museum for both children and adults. It's filled with a sense of childlike wonder and fun activities.

a good time was had by all Parents and kids alike ages 60, 40 ,22, 09 ,10, 17. The Quadrangle has several Museums along with hands on and puppet shows and Magic shows.

I brought my 3 year old son and I am not sure who enjoyed it more him or myself. They have hand sanitizing stations everywhere. It was so much fun. The bonus is the other museums are included.

In great Dr Seuss fashion, the museum is bright and colorful and full of hands on activities as well as memorabilia. Fun and interesting for both children and adults.

This was a great day for our family! Our kiddos are older (9 & 11) but they remembered their love for these books and had an amazing time. There are excellent photo ops and should your kiddos decide they are too cool for dr Seuss there are 4 other museums that were also very good. As an adult, I loved the hand written letters that were on display as well as the history. I think it would have been worth the price of admission without the kiddos. . .but go early so you can see everything:)

It’s a small museum, but each room has its own unique feel and theme. Multiple figures to take pictures with. Really cool to see some of his actual stuff!!!

This is one of those lifetime experiences you will never forget. Do you love Dr. Seuss books? Then you will be thrilled. Here you enter one of the most creative spots ever created. The Museum matches the quality of his books...and, stepping through the first door is just like opening one of the Dr. Seuss Books! You can't stop! The visual scene draws you in from one room to the next. You almost become part of Dr. Giesel's brilliant characters. Little ones will rush to attracting displays just for them.Teens are drawn in to the humor and wisdom.. And parents will laugh out loud reading the author's original letters to his friends and family. This Museum will draw from around the world.

We stopped in with our two 1/2 year old on our back to NY from Maine.

Pros
- gorgeous artwork and so cheerful, bright and engaging.
- lots of 3D figures to see up close and 'interact' with. A great way for the characters from the book to come to life for kids.
- wonderful sculpture garden.

Cons
-So expensive. Yes you get access to the other museums but they are pretty old fashioned and not very child friendly.
- not very good craft area
- not very imaginative play sections. Duplo tables. A play kitchen. Not unique to dr seuss. And the heavy wooden play fridge wasn't anchored to the wall. Pretty dangerous for smaller kids.
- quite a few screens were out of action.
- sculpture garden has no play area.

To be honest, for an extra half hour drive the Eric Carle museum blows this out of the water. No comparison. Half the price and ten times better.

Wonderful museum geared towards kids that features the life and works of Dr. Seuss. First floor is interactive with activities geared towards the young, or at least the young at heart and focuses on Dr. Seuss' works. The upper floor focuses more on the Dr. himself and is geared towards an older audience. Admission here also gets you admission to other museums in the Springfield Museum complex.

To be honest, we were a bit disappointed with this museum. While the facts were interesting and it’s beautifully done, there’s not much to it for the price. It would be much better if you could just choose the one museum you want to visit rather than paying for a really expensive ticket. The other museums included in the price were so dull we only stayed in for a couple of minutes.

If you love Dr. Seuss you'll love this museum! Long time coming indeed. This is my new go to spot when hosting out of towners.

We went to the Springfield Museums and absolutely loved our visit to the Seuss Museum as well as the others. The bottom floor is very hands on for kids but contains a lot of interesting things that adults would like as well. The second floor has more information that adults would enjoy.
I also recommend going to the gardens. Plus, things were easily accessible for wheelchairs.

I was in Springfield and couldn’t resist stopping in to see Dr. Seuss. It’s an interactive museum for children with a touch of Dr. Seuss’s biography. You’ll have a lot of Kodak moments in there. The Dr. Seuss museum is one amongst 5 museums in Springfield that are clustered together creating a beautiful park-like quad. You’ll find the Dr. Seuss sculpture garden here. It’s a great day out for both children and adults.

This place is so well done, with parts of lots of Dr Seuss books and many personal items for this fabulous author. We just smiled all the way through. We're already planning another trip back.

This is an honest review. If you're a Seuss fan, you will love this place. However, its really for kids. Some of the attractions are kid size and that's okay. The place is a wild play ground for kids who are very excited and happy to be in the world of Dr. Seuss. Their parents chasing after them in a futile attempt to curb their enthusiasm was my entertainment. As I am not a Seuss fanatic.

If you like Seuss and you can swing with rowdy kids, then this place is pretty cool.

This museum is one of the five "Springfield Museums." The complex has free parking. You pay one admission in the visitors center and may visit any of the museums you like. The Seuss museum, as you might guess, is very child oriented. It is two floors. There is also a sculpture garden outside the entrance to the Seuss museum paying homage to several of Seuss' characters. There is a restaurant next to the parking lot and a gift shop in the science museum. COVID-19: Employees were masked. Visitors were expected to be masked and maintain social distance protocols--a challenge with so many children in the facility.

Didn't know much about Dr. Suess before I visited this colorful, interactive museum in his hometown of Springfield, Mass. I had seen "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" on network TV before but had never read one of his many books After I left the museum I had a deeper appreciation for the author who is one of the most popular writer of children's books of all time. Of course, the kids will love all the interactive elements of the museum, which many people say is like stepping into one of his books. But as an adult, I must admit I enjoyed my visit as well. The nice thing about the museum is that it's on a campus of four other museums. One admission price gets you into all five. Outside, the sculpture garden has statues of some of Dr. Seuss' characters including the Lorax and more.

This place brings out the kid in you. As we walked through the Amazing World I could see my wife remembering reading the stories to our children. The characters were now before us in living color. Everything was so vivid and colorful. My wife really enjoyed this experience. Adults don't feel like you need a child to go with you to the Amazing World.

We had a blast on our visit to the Springfield museums. The Dr. Seuss Museum is only one part of the museum campus. It was a lot of fun to explore the Dr. Seuss Museum and also the Dr. Seuss Sculpture Garden. You can also visit multiple art museums and a couple other museums. When we went there was an exhibit called toys that was a lot of fun with lots of interactive parts! Our daughter is 10 and she loved everything about our visit to the museum campus.

This museum is part of several other Soringfield museums that are included in 1 admission. We were surprised at how cool some of the other museums were, esp the science one, for little kids (3 and 5 yrs old). Dr. Seuss is small with 3 levels. The main level is all interactive, brightly colored scenes and activities from the books. Great photo opps and creative outlets for kids. The bottom level had arts and crafts. The top level was geared to adults and showcased his life. Overall, you could spend a few hours there having dun, and likely a whole day wlbetween all musuems. The Dr S sculpture garden is right in front and pretty cool too! It also stays open later than the musuem.

It’s important to know that it isn’t open on Mondays while school is still in session. We still had a nice time walking in the sculpture garden though!

Not sure if I'd classify this as a kid's museum, an adult museum, or both... I'd have to say both, as there were definitely 'hands-on' things for kids to do, while some rooms were dedicated to learning about the author, more serious stuff children wouldn't be interested in. So, a decent mix of things of interest to adults as well as kids. I actually wish they had more about the author and the origins of Dr. Seuss, but what they had was interesting and worth my time. We happened to go on a day when it was free (first Wednesday of every month, I think?). An hour was enough for me to see and read what I found of interest. The museum is on the smaller side.

Recommended to check-out at least once. If you've kids, they'll love it.

He was born here and this museum came together toward the end of his life. He lived in California as an adult which seems the more likely place for this- however Springfield is where it is at.
Nicely done exhibits laying out the story of his career. Definitely for children- as it should be.

It was absolutely wonderful! Made this teacher’s heart so happy! We thoroughly enjoyed Tyrone giving us background information on Theodore’s life. It made the experience very special!

Small museum, but was a nice visit. Seeing the big characters there, like Horton, was our favorite part! We traveled with a 1 1/2 year old, so some of the activities were a little grown up for us. But we still had a good time. Nice uses of technology throughout. The top floor is artifacts from his life. More interesting for the grown ups than kids. Was a nice little walk place to walk through.

You can get one ticket to see Dr. Susse‘S museum and other ones at the same location. A good place to visit as a family.

Interactive and fun museum. Kids love it and we adults enjoyed the second floor of history about Theodor!

This was the primary reason for our stop in Springfield (but the museums are also nice) and it did not disappoint. Well organized museum with interactive exhibits for the kids (and some of the adults!) I found many of the items related to his drawings and letters to family particularly fascinating. It doesn't take too long to go through, but I highly recommend see it.

This place was interesting, but also rather boring. I feel like you'd have to be a big time Dr. Seuss fan to truly appreciate all that is here & the information that is presented. I'd recommend it. It's been years since I've last visited.

We were in Springfield for a hockey tournament and had a few hours to kill in between games. I was looking for something to do with my 5 year old son and came across the Dr. Seuss Museum. He is a big fan of Dr. Seuss and loved every minute of it! The bottom floor is geared towards younger kids- with some hands on activities, blocks, Duplos, play kitchen area, large figures to take pictures with, and of course lots of silly rhyming activities!
The upstairs was also interesting with his early art works, family history, photos, furniture, and much much more!
On the grounds just outside the museum you can also visit the sculpture park- they had large metal sculptures of Horton, The Cat in The Hat, The Lorax and many more! The is also a great museum gift shop with some truly unique gifts. The best part is that once you pay admission you can go to all 5 of the museums included in the pass- we also went to visit the Spring Field Science Museum that day. We greatly enjoyed our visit!

My husband and I were travelling from Australia in the US and adjusted our last few days to make sure we fitted this in. Being a teacher, I love Dr Seuss so didn't want to miss this museum. The sculptures in the park outside were fantastic and I enjoyed looking at them and of course being photographed with them before entering the museum. It's a good idea to orebook as they only take a certain number in each hour but you have unlimited time in the museum. We went without kids and my husband and I really enjoyed the interactive things and we were able to,read all the information on display and we learned a real lot. Plenty of things for kids to do but if you want to go and really appreciate it, go without the kids first. The information etc upstairs is very adult oriented and I saw lots of parents who would have liked to have read things but their kids were not interested. Downstairs is wonderful for kids and adults. We actually spent over an hour and a half in the museum itself plus another hour outside looking at the statues and just enjoying the park. A fantastic experience for anyone who loves Dr Seuss.

This is a wonderful hands-on museum for kids and adults alike. The Springfield heritage of Dr. Seuss is discussed. Just out front is a Seuss sculpture garden that is awesome.

The ticket gets you into 4 other museums. My 4 year old loved it all. Dr. Suess is hands on and fun. The science museum was our second favorite.

This museum is great for kids and for adults. I was most interested in the story behind the man who has made generations of kids happy with his books. They had a great piece upstairs about the man behind the legend. This museum is conveniently located in a quad of other museums and is amazing the quality of these places for a relatively small town.

I did not have small children with me, but I am an elementary school librarian and Dr. Seuss fan. My husband, who wasn’t thrilled at being dragged into the Seuss museum actually really enjoyed our visit there and found many exhibits to be interested in ! If you have small children, this will be magical for them! Lots of hands-on things for them to climb on and do, and a good mix of large motor/fine motor activities and electronic ones. This is a really fantastic museum!

This 3 story converted house brings to life all Dr Seuss books and the world he built. The main floor had tons of interactive exhibits that kids loved and pretty much covered every major book he wrote. Very colorful with lots of good opportunities to take photos with famous characters. My kids could've spent a couple hours here if we had the time.

The top floor was more artifacts from Dr Seuss' life. The bottom floor was more arts and crafts.

Definitely a must do, your kids will love it. And the adults will too!

The only way to see this museum is to purchase a ticket for all five Springfield Museums. We duly bought our ticket and headed into the not-so Amazing World of Dr Seuss. There wasn’t a great deal to do and the replica paintings on the walls were colourful if a tad amateurish. Would probably be of more interest to a child than an adult, however upstairs was a bit more educational.

So cool! I am by no means a Seuss junky but this was a really beautiful step into his world. The museum truly looks like you walked into Whoville. Along with the family history and artifacts upstairs, the stop was worth it.

You cannot buy a ticket to just the Seuss Museum, which is regrettable. However, if you're interested in seeing any of the other museums, the price is reasonable. The bottom floor of the Seuss Museum is clearly made for children; the upstairs has more content of interest to adults. The signs telling about his life are written in a sing-song verse that was a cute idea, but got annoying to read after a while. I didn't feel like the museum gave an accurate, chronological picture of his life, just little snippets into his experiences. I can't imagine spending more than 30-45 minutes here; it's very small. The "sculpture garden" in the courtyard outside is free, but also much smaller than I expected. Basically 3 different pieces, and lots of signs saying not to sit or stand on the sculptures. I found that odd since one was a chair in front of a giant-sized book with the entire text of "Oh the Places You'll Go!" Maybe it was okay to sit there? It really wasn't clear. The bookstore was a huge disappointment in that all of the Seuss merchandise was not unique to the museum, and available anywhere for much cheaper prices. I would have loved to purchase something that said "The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum, Springfield, MA" or the like, but wasn't going to spend a ton of money for something I can pick up at TJ Maxx, Target, or even the Dollar Store (!) back home.

Very interesting museum. Must be taken in at least once. Our kids are grown and out of the house and we seriously enjoyed our visit here. Nice to have it in Springfield.

I went there with two little boys (4&6 year old). They liked being able to touch most everything. I liked the history. Nice museum. Would have given a higher rating if the price was cheaper. I felt it was very expensive when you don't want to visit all 5 museums.

Our grandchild thoroughly enjoyed being at the museum. There was a very special vibe and very colorful. Plenty of interactive exhibits, and she tried out every single one.

The Dr. Seuss Museum is lots of fun for both kids and adults. The interior of the museum exhibits very colorful and exciting decoration. The major Seuss characters are all represented. There are documents and artifacts that relate the biography of the author. Actually I wish that there were a few more exhibits that delve more in depth about the actual Dr. Seuss and his life. But this is a small point. A visit to the museum can be accomplished in an hour or less.

Between the statues out front of the building and the different rooms dedicated to different stories or segments of his life, the Dr. Suess museum is a must see for children of all ages.

Great for kids and kids at heart. Best of the Springfield Museums. Get here early as admission is timed. Then see the others if you want.

We had fun here - the museum is really neat and there are some hands on things for kids to do but it's on the small side for the cost of admission.

We visited this museum with our grandchildren, ages 5 and 7. They could not believe their good luck to be able to touch and explore next to their beloved characters. This museum has it all: Dr. Seuss personal history, hands on activities, and a make and take activity. It is a small museum, but well worth the trip.

This was a great museum for children and adults both. Downstairs is interactive childrens Seuss characters and such. so fun! Upstairs is Dr Seuss history which was fabulous. and outside there are character statues.

If you love Dr. Seuss this is a no-brainer. We were staying in the Berkshires about one hour away and this was well worth the trip. There are three floors, the sculpture gardens outside, and kids under 3 are free admission. Tip: Pack lunches and eat outside - plenty of room and benches.

Enjoy the history of the books and interactive play stations for the kids. You also get an idea of Theodore Giesel's life and thought processes.

Regardless of your age, you will be a kid again in this place. We went just the two of us and had a terrifical time. We could spend time looking at exhibits and reading personal notes, all with room for others to easily see as well. Give yourself a gift and go spend the afternoon having fun!

This museum has two floors. The first floor is more child oriented with amazing wall paintings from his books and life size figures. There is not much to "do" for kids besides look and take pictures with these figures. His books are throughout for the kids to read if they want to. Upstairs is more for adults and has lots of letters and artifacts from Dr. Seuss to look at which my husband and I found very interesting (not really anything a younger child would be interested in). We had our 9 year old son with us and he says he had a good time, but I felt like downstairs was too young for him and upstairs was too old for him.

This is our first time to the museum. I wish this was around when my kids were younger. Colorful and bright. Makes you feel like a kid !

We arrived here around 3 p.m. after driving from Boston. Springfield has a campus of 5 museums. You have to buy a common ticket for all of them. There is a medium-sized lot in front, with an overflow lot across the street. We ended up in the overflow lot.

The combined ticket costs $25 for adults. Theoretically, you can see all 5 museums. However, as we arrived later in the day we only were able to see 2 of them. If you want to maximize your value, arrive earlier in the day.

We walked out of the ticket lobby into the central sculpture garden / lawn. From there, you can access the Dr. Seuss Museum. I wasn't sure quite what to expect here. In short, this is a sort of children's interactive area (with 3-D sculptures of characters, etc.) along with some historical artifacts and re-created spaces from Geisel's life.

The reason the museum is here is that Theodore Seuss Geisel was born and raised here. They describe his early childhood, the fact that there was a zoo almost across the street from his house, and the various influences on him. You can sort of imagine how some of this influenced him later ("If I Ran the Zoo", for example).

The first floor is a series of rooms with 3-D sculptures of characters like the Grinch, Things 1 & 2, the Cat in the Hat, Horton, etc. There are also illustrations on the walls in some areas of other characters like the Zaxes, the Sneetches, etc. This was interesting, but only gave limited insight into Geisel. The 2nd floor has more about his family and history. It also has various artifacts from his and his family's past. There were letters he wrote to friends and family, and re-creations of rooms from his later home in La Jolla and his work area. They also included an exhibit on how some sculptures in the associated lawn in front were made.

The basement is an interactive play area for children.

When you exit the museum, there is a large rectangular lawn in front. At one corner is a sculpture of the Lorax. At the far end are multiple other characters plus Dr. Seuss himself.

In all, this was definitely a worthwhile place to visit if you read Geisel's works to your kid(s) or had them read to you as a kid.

OK, so we are over 65. We are kids at heart. We love Dr. Seuss! We spent 3 or 4 hours at the museum and loved to read every letter and look at every picture. We have to go back again to finish seeing it all. I would suggest every parent take their children to the museum. The sculpture garden is great too! Have a great day.

I was visiting my best friend and she was determined to take me to this museum. I was excited but I wasn't expecting much. I will say now, this place was amazing! It was fun and vibrant while also telling fun stories about his life and the world he grew up in. I recommend for kids of all ages, even big kids pretending to be adults. It's entertaining for kids and a fun walk through.

Trust the opinions of others about the opinion of the museum itself, but the grounds alone were enough to make me grin like a toddler.

It is definitely memorial, and the decoration and activities are all about the Dr. Seuss' books which everyone can relate. But there weren't much to do, just some board games in the basement, a few lego tables, a little kitchen, a few touch screen activities. The price is high, $25 for adults and $13 for kids. Although this includes admissions to other museums, but what if I only want to go to this museum. I still have to pay that high price!

This museum is one of 4 that is included in the entry price. At first we thought it might be the only one good for kids but each of them had a section great for kids -we had our 3 & 5 yr olds with us and they had a blast playing the games in the games history section of the history museum.

So fun! Highly recommend
Great fun and very informative about the life of Dr. Seuss. My favorite part was probably seeing all of his notes and doodles, very cool!

I visited with my 6 and 10 yr old Dr Seuss fans. The museum is cute, and had books we had not seen before, but overall it took us about 45 minutes to browse thru. There were some interactive exhibits that would be appropriate for 3-5 yr olds, and there were a few electronic features that held my 6 yr old's attention for a few extra minutes. There is an outside sculpture garden that was great, and there is also the Science Museum with dinosaurs, included for the same entry price. We used our reciprocal membership from another museum, but if I had paid full price I would have been disappointed. There is a cafe on the grounds that was really good... freshly made sandwiches and wraps, for a very reasonable price, and you don't even need to move the car!

The good news is we got in without a wait...and it’s pretty cute. Loved seeing some original sketches.
The bad new not enough about Dr. Seuss...short video in the hallway did not offer enough and you had to stand and watch it. Great museum for kids, lots of activities for them, but if you want to get an education go to Google and save yourself some money. You can’t buy a ticket just to this museum, one ticket allows you entrances to all of the Springfield museums adjacent to Dr. Seuss Museum.
So plan your time properly and not a bad deal.
The saddest thing was the the gift shop...
With better marketing, better products and definitely better lighting and displays they may sell more items. Very unappealing...
I’m a shopper and didn’t buy a single thing..it was a mish mush of item put out with no thought.

I recently visited the Dr. Seuss museum with my 4 year old and 1 year old. Both of which loved the museum and learning more about Dr. Seuss, but more so being able to play with the interactive exhibits. They had fun running around and playing Dr. Seuss themed games. Would definitely recommend for anyone considering a visit.

Great museum for kids. Kind of small but the ticket comes with the entrance for the other museums as well. The garden is really cool too if you like Dr. Seuss.

My wife and I stopped here on our way to Boston from Albany to see the newly expanded Dr. Seuss museum; we had seen it's earlier incarnation, which was focused on Theodore Giesel's background and history. Dr. Seuss grew up in Springfield. The current museum is geared more towards kids, as it has hands-on activities for young ones to do, and since we are empty-nesters, we enjoyed the previous exhibit more.

This venue is part of the Springfield Museum complex. Tickets get you into all of the museums and can't be separated. It is a good value however. Did not have enough time to see them all, which was OK since our 7 year old granddaughter was not very interested in the art museums. Dr. Seuss was a lot of fun and a great place for some quality pictures of our granddaughter. Good for a couple of hours at this section, but plenty more to keep little ones interested in the science museum.

I stopped at the museum with our nearly five year old and we couldn’t have been more delighted. This colorful, inviting museum is a must see. Exhibits are kid friendly and even grandparents will delight in the quotes and paintings. You can prepurchase timed tickets but the fee is expensive because it includes entrance into many other museums. Check if you already have a reciprocal membership to another museum to help with the cost. But go!

Great place for children and adults!! It was nice to see the children making a connection with the toys, artwork and games!!

This place is almost like being in a Dr. Seuss story --- every room is a different adventure. The graphics and sculptures are awesome. The museum offers loads of hands on things for the kids and interesting details and displays for adults, not only about the life and ideas of Theodore Geisel, but that also capture how he worked and created.

Fun museum, nice how they incorporate the books, areas for play and some good dr. Suess history all in one museum. Well done.

Oh the places you will go! One of those places should be the Dr. Seuss Museum. If you love Dr. Seuss, this is a fun experience. It is a Facebook/Instagramable must experience with life size (or larger) characters both inside and out. There is a sculpture garden outside (free to experience) to walk or run through. To go into the Dr. Suess Museum, you need a museum ticket which also allows entry into the other museum buildings (which had dinosaur and robotics exhibits to name a few). The Dr. Seuss Museum is a separate building. While the overall size is not large, the bottom floor has enough space to include a number of memorable characters and interactive exhibits – one was a giant Lite Bright on the wall. Another (for smaller children) was an interactive alphabet. Downstairs was pure character adult/ kid fun, upstairs a more historical look at Theodore Giesel (Dr. Seuss’) life. As an adult who read Dr. Seuss books to my kids, I enjoyed this experience – and took a number of pics with the characters. Full confession – I did not have a young child with me. (But, who wouldn’t want a picture with Truffula trees – and the Cat in the Hat – and the Grinch?!! ) We spent over an hour there and then went over to enjoy the main museum. Their gift shop also carried a number of Dr. Seuss books – some of which I was unfamiliar with.

We were driving from Toronto to Amherst, MA and decided to stop in Springfield to visit the new Dr. Seuss museum. Luck we bought timed tickets in advance as it's a very popular draw, and there was a lineup to get in.
Three floors of interactive exhibits dedicated to the life of Dr. Seuss and his childhood in Springfield. Kids enjoyed the craft room downstairs.

This is a museum that is a part of a complex of other museums as well. Being a Dr. Seuss fan, I could not pass it up! The first floor will delight children, including your inner child. Upstairs is more of a tribute to the great writer. There are artifacts--his chair, desk etc--and a wonderful collection of letters written to his nephew.

We were in town for a conference and had a chance to get out and see the new Dr. Seuss Museum. My recommendation is don't miss it if you get close! Even as an adult, I felt like a kid in the museum - so much attention to detail. You can just focus on all the fun aspects or dive a little deeper into his humor and doodles over the years. My favorite part of my visit was watching the awe in the little kids visiting - it really is a magical place for them.

So I will admit that I was the only adult there without a child. But I love Dr Seuss and have been a fan my entire life. The museum is geared probably more toward kids, but the information, both on the walls, and in the audio guide which is done by dialing a number on your phone, definitely explains his history, childhood, and how his life influenced his work. It is a small museum, but I spent almost 90 minutes there. Loved it! A great tribute to a brilliant man

We brought our 5 year old with us to pick up my daughter at Deerfield Academy and wanted to find a kid-friendly activity. We hit the jackpot with the Dr. Seuss Museum. Everything on the first floor is hands on, so it is perfect for anyone under 8. There was so much to see and do, including a fun hand puppet craft on the lower level. I highly recommend visiting if you have small children.

The museum will draw many memories of Dr. Seuss' books. The 2nd floor provides history of Dr. Seuss and his family.
Don't forget the Dr. Seuss Sculpture Garden as well.

This museum was an awesome experience. Dr. Seuss books really come to life. There is a nice area to do a craft, and then one floor to explore all of your favorite books. The second floor is more for adults or older kids who appreciate the artwork and history of Dr. Seuss. The place was also special because with admission you can visit the adjacent Science and History museum, and an art museum. It was worth the trip!

Ted was an interesting man and the personal insight into what inspired him was interesting! Great part of the Springfield Museum system.

Came to see the sculptures and found this is in addition! Amazing! This place has stuff for all ages. Additionally, it has exhibits that are unrelated to his children's books. There are areas for adults also. A very worthwhile experience, even if my wife wanted to bring home Thing 1 and Thing 2!

I am not a big fan of Dr. Seuss books, maybe a little burnt out from Read Across a America as a teacher every year. But, I've been wanting to visit this museum for a while. I took my 15 year old daughter, who is a big fan of any books, and we had a really nice time. We loved how the books came alive to us and were accompanied by short passages to go along with them. The full wall illustrations were great too. They did have some hands on activities for children, not everything has to be flashing lights on a screen. There was a craft room downstairs with a paper plate craft - I thought that could have been a bit more interesting, it reminded me of a craft from a teacher with no creative skills. For the money they charge I would think they could come up with something a bit more like a souvenir craft, not something that will get thrown out very quickly. The outdoor sculpture garden is for sitting on... but was roped off due to the rain, the area around was extremely slippery because of the flowers from the trees - BE CAREFUL!

As for the other museums included in the price, it was all very convenient. the free parking is in the center of all the museums, like a courtyard, so there is no worry about walking around trying to find anything, it is all right there. During the summer they have activities for young children to keep them occupied while they visit. The science museum was really good, loved the free books they were giving away also. They had some cute crafts too. Without all of that it was still a great museum and kids will like it. The Springfield History Museum had alot of interesting old bikes and cars. For kids of all ages, they had a Hasbro section which was interactive - sadly they really need to keep up with fixing things that don't work anymore.
We were there for more then 3 hours, but that is with a teen and we also stayed for a author visit/talk, unfortunately she was a rather boring speaker. I would say most with little children will be less then 3 hours.

All in all, the museum was a fun and interesting walk through the works of Dr. Seuss. I’d have liked a little bit more information about who Theodor Geisel was, what inspired him, etc. but the museum was well-suited to little kids (1st floor) and older kids and adults (2nd flood).

The combo museum tickets makes for a fun and interesting day. All four museums—Seuss, art, natural history and history of Springfield—are in very close proximity with a pleasant walk between them. A nice day and a good value.

What a fun time for all ages!!! My friend and I went - no kids. We had a great time! So much fun decor and activities. Neat to see old letters from Dr Seuss to his nephew.

a good place for children and adults. Very kid friendly and interactive. Included in the admission is the other Springfield museums. The sculpture garden is fun to walk through.

This museum is definitely aimed more towards kids but there is plenty to see for adults too. The 2nd floor has a lot of Seuss' personal items and more history than the 1st floor. There's times ticketing for this museum and you can buy a ticket online in advance. Your ticket also includes admission to the 4 other museums on the same grounds.

I went here with my wife and 3 year old son and we had a blast! The first two floors were dedicated to young kids with lots of fun things to see and do (great interactive games, books, and toys), and the third floor was more for adults with the history of Dr. Seuss author and family. It is right in the heart of the Springfield Museums so easy to move from place to place. Would highly recommend!!!

Came to Springfield particularly for this museum. It did not disappoint. Wish there was more Dr. Seuss stuff for sale at the gift shop.

The museum is part of the Springfield museums so you pay one price for all of them, but look for discount programs because there's a ton. This museum is done very well, and the artwork is above average. A must see if you have little ones.

My wife and I really enjoyed visiting Dr. Seuss. We spent a good couple of hours looking at all the things to do there on the ground floor, and read about Theodor and his family on the first floor.
You can take photos and videos on the ground floor but not the first floor.
The fun things to do are aimed at little kids, but you’re only as old as you feel, and we both played well there (we are almost 60).
The gardens are lovely with its statues.
The other museums included in the ticket price are a bonus, although they are rather small.
If you want to buy souvenirs you need to go back to the welcome hall. It’s upstairs.
Would I come back here? Probably not now that I’ve seen it - but I would recommend it to everyone!

We spent about two hours here. The Museum has 2 floors and a basement. There are elevators, and very clean restrooms. Our 6 and 9 year olds loved the play areas, especially the bakery. (Most of our two hours was spent watching them have fun with the hands-on displays.) Great photo ops with models of book characters and scenes. Interactive screens with rhyming and vocabulary games. Interesting historical displays that reveal quite a bit about the author. Downstairs is a large arts and crafts room led by a very nice staff member. (We made hats out of newsprint.) There’s a small corner with a rug and books where parents and kids can read. The gift shop is located in the welcome center and has items related to all the museums. The Dr. Seuss section is surprisingly sparse, with a very small selection of books, tee shirts, plush characters, and related items.

My (teenaged) daughter and I were recently in Springfield, and being fans of Dr. Seuss decided to check this out. The price of admission includes all of the museums in the complex. The museum dedicated to Dr. Seuss is just as colorful as you might imagine. However, it is geared more towards elementary aged students vs. adults. There are some great displays of his personal letters with sketches and other personal artifacts but for the most part this is children's museum with a Dr. Seuss theme.

What a wonderful museum both for the exhibits and for the interactive areas. Much of what is in there belonged to the Geisel family, so that was a real treat for everyone, especially history buffs. The kids were absolutely giddy at all of the PlayStations. Did my heart good to see them playing with things they should be playing with rather than on some electronic device. Parents were reading to their kids; kids were dressed up and most of all they were having fun and pretending. This is part of the Springfield Museum area that gives you entry into all four or five with the purchase of one ticket. The sculpture garden is all over the museum area, and there is a nice gift shop in the building where you buy your tickets. There is no entry into any of the museums, not even the interactive area of the Dr. Seuss, without buying a ticket. Parking is readily available.

This museum is wonderful for children with lots of hands on exhibits but is also interesting for adults. The letters between him and his uncle are amusing to say the least. Their is a senior discount also. The sculpture park is right outside also

The museum is small, but very cute. There are a few (but not many) activities children can do. We probably spent about 45 minutes in the museum. You could possibly stay longer if you had time to read and thoroughly admire the Dr. Seuss notes and artwork they have displayed. I found it difficult to stay still and read/look at the serious artwork without my kids running off. We did take some very cute pictures with the colorful sculptures they had in many of the rooms.

Great place to visit if you enjoy the work of dr. Seuss. The had many of his letters and drawings. Pretty interesting to see everything.

Cool for small children
Went when they open no one was there. It was really cool to take pictures with all the different characters in the different rooms. When you buy a ticket you get access to five museums but honestly the Dr. Seuss one is the winner.

It’s also very close to the MGM and other hotels.

I've loved Dr. Suess since I was a child. The Suess museum has something for everyone and is located in a unique 5-museum complex in Springfield. The museum has interactive and fun exhibits geared towards children, and upstairs has a unique collection of personal Dr. Suess letters and sketches that I loved. The garden sculptures are terrific. All in all, this is a Must-Do!

Upon its auspicious exterior and small size within the Springfield Museum center, my family and I expected a gimmicky tourist trap. But oh how we were wrong! The interior is boldly decorated and furnished completely in the style of Dr Suess' colorful and vibrant works. You can freely explore aspects of the gifted American icon's work no matter your age. Youngsters can participate in games and labs, while older generations and peruse the exhibits and history of Ted Geisel and his family.

We rented a car and drove from Boston to see this attraction. I was a bit hesitant because it took almost 2 hours, but we really like Dr. Seuss so we decided to take the gamble. It was so fun!. The Museum is very kid friendly and has many hands on activities. The basement houses a craft room and the main floor houses much of the "world of Seuss." The upstairs, my favorite, contains the history of the life of Ted Geisel. I loved seeing his correspondence, his "doodlings," his irreverent notes, his drawing board and pencils, and many family photos. The sculpture garden was also worth a look as it contains so many of our favorite Seussical characters. All in all, we did not find Springfield a place we wanted to shop or eat (although the Barbecue at Theodore's was really really good!!) We wanted to stop for coffee at the gift shop, but we walked in and walked out. It was lacking in any atmosphere, and the line was out the door. If you like Dr. Seuss you will like this.

"And To Think I Saw it on Mulbery Street" is a book inspired by the real life location, Mulberry Street not far from the museum itself. If you're ever anywhere near Springfield, don't miss this one!

We spent about two hours at the museum and surrounding monument park. Lots of hands on activities for my 2.5 and 4 year olds. They loved seeing their favorite characters from their favorite Dr. Seuss books. The complex is beautiful with a whole quad of museums. We didn't have the whole day to spend there but it would definitely be a great day trip with family.

If your kids are fans of Dr Seuss books they'll love this museum. Each room design is inspired by a different classic Dr. Seuss book. There are colorful sculptures. There are a bunch of interactive activities. Your allowed to touch pretty much everything.

Get tickets at the information building in the science museum. Free with NARM membership. Entry is timed to on the hour. Plan 30-60 minutes depending on age. There are activities for children in the basement. First floor has graphics and characters from Seuss books; very fun. Second floor is more about Seuss the artist and person. Interesting for all ages.

We (60 year old adults) stopped here while visiting the Museum complex in Springfield. Only 100 people at a time are allowed in, so it's best to check this place out first. It is mostly child oriented, but there are lots of interesting writings and pictures and art that are good for adults. There is a costumed "Cat in the Hat" to take pics of with your children. Recommended!

Dr.Suess has been a favourite since I was a kid. I couldn't miss the chance to visit when I was in the area. Not only was the Seuss Museum a blast, but there are other museums in the immediate vicinity, walking distance, that are worth seeing as well.

A fun museum for kids of all ages. We took 6 kids ranging in age from 2 to 12, all had a great time. Our little ones were more interested in the first two floors, with lots of hands-on exhibits. The third floor had more historical artifacts and was more geared toward adults. Tip - the cafe located near the museum on the grounds is pretty good and affordable for a family.

Good pictures from the Suess books, cleverly labeled in rhyme, made this a very enjoyable visit. The displays also tell much about Geisel (Dr. Suess) himself.

I went here with my son thinking a rainy day spent at a Dr. Seuss Museum would be fun, but this whole place is more of an art museum, even the Dr. Seuss part. Many areas are roped off and there really is not much for the kids to play with which was very disappointing.

The Dr. Seuss museum had very few hands on parts and my 4 year old asked to go home early because he felt it was boring. While I liked looking at the art in the building, it was so confusing because you think of Dr. Seuss as fun and cool things for kids to explore and play with, but it was more of an art museum with a few areas of broken or missing toys where the kids could play if they could manage to find a spot. This was because there was so little for the kids to do, they would all crowd over the same things.

There was also a very abrasive security guard there which made it even less kid friendly. I get it is a museum, but it is also kid oriented so training security with to embrace soft skills would be beneficial.

On top, it cost $13 for my son and $25 for myself to enter. This is because there is only one ticket option and that is to pay for a ticket which allows you to view all of the museums for one price. There are around 5-6 different museums all surrounding one court yard which are definitely for adults and not kids. While I get the concept, my son and I paid $38 for a 1 hour visit where we only went into 2 of the museums and he did not get to exert his energy because there was not much to play with, broken or missing items, and a heavy crowd.

Overall, if your kids like exploring and moving around like mine, save a couple bucks and go to the new trampoline park in Springfield where your kids can have fun, get out their energy, and it is affordable.

Colorful exhibits compliment historical information on the real life Theodore Geisel aka Dr. Seuss.Great for young children but kids of all ages will enjoy this special place. There are activities for very young children, older kids may not be as interested. A giant mural greets all visitors at the entrance depicting several famous Dr. Seuss characters.

I enjoyed the sculpture garden more than the museum though the many characters brought back pleasant memories.

A delightful museum that is full of the art and sculpture of his magical world. You travel from room to room exploring the his different books and the various stages of his life. We always talk about the books, but often do not know that much about the artist. This museum gives us the whole picture - and you may take a lot of pictures, too.

My husband and I took our 3 grandchildren (7 year old twins and a 4 year old) to this museum, and they were absolutely entranced. It’s a brightly decorated house, with rooms devoted to various Seuss stories and characters. There are plenty of hands on activities for the children and exhibits that linked Seuss to his growing up years in Springfield. Bring your camera as there are loads of places to take photos of children with their favorite Seuss characters.

While you might not be interested in the other museums that make up the Springfield Quadrangle, your entry to the Seuss Museum will get you into the other museums. Excellent bargain if you’re interested in the art,science or history museums.

We (2 adults) came here knowing the museum was probably going to be geared mostly towards kids, and it was actually pretty well balanced. The first floor is certainly the most kid-friendly part, but even as adults (and kids at heart) we thoroughly enjoyed it. The second floor is clearly geared more towards adults, as demonstrated by the fact that most of the displays were too high for kids to even see, and there were no steps or anything like that to help kids see the content better. The content is also more about Seuss' personal life and not quite as whimsical. We were personally fine with this, but just know that if you come here with kids, they probably aren't going to care as much about the second floor as you do.

My main complaint is that the museum glosses over much of Seuss' life and doesn't really give you a complete picture of the man. In one room there is a whimsical looking family tree on the wall where it's kind of indicated that he was married twice, but there's no info beyond that in the museum. A quick internet search reveals there's a bit more to Seuss than you might realize (spoiler alert--he's not all about the whimsy), so it just would have been nice if the museum acknowledged this a bit more. Overall though, it's a really fun museum and completely worth visiting if you're in the area or are a fan of his work.

The kids really enjoyed the museum, as well as the sculptures in the garden outside. There were a lot of characters to pose with, and some books to read. There was a large exhibit upstairs about Dr. Seuss and his life, that was interesting for the adults. The downstairs may have been geared a bit more towards younger children.

Also, as a bonus to be aware of, the tickets to the museum, included entrance to the surrounding art, and science museums as well, which could all be accessed by the courtyard outside, unfortunately we had limited time, so weren't able to explore these ourselves.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Seuss museum. It was especially cool to read some of his fun personal correspondence. Great for kids and adults alike.

This was great fun, along with the sculpture memorial garden. Definitely worth a visit if in the area. The entry fee is for 5 museums, but absolutely worth it. We did not children with us and still had a great time. Car parking is free. Unfortunately the cafe was closed, and there did not seem to be another nearby. We were advised to use the coffee shop (The Roasted Bean) in the local casino, which was pretty good.
