Family Fun! Every corner was something new and fun for my children to be involved in. They loved Kidtropolis the most. Most definitely worth the visit. Can’t wait to come back so we can stay a little longer.
Great way to spend a few hours with kids in Houston!

The Houston Children's Museum was great! It was extremely clean, with staff constantly attending to each area and ensuring all of the pieces/parts for the attractions are in place for the next child. The areas were creative and fun for our 3 kids to try out (ages 2-13.) I was impressed by the size and variety of things to see and do.
Meh. Not worth the drive and cost.

Originally being from Houston my husband and I were excited about taking our little one to CMH. After a 2.5 hour drive we arrived at the parking garage. We realized we needed to make an emergency target run. We trying to exit the card reader was not working to pay for the 3 minutes we had been parked. I pressed the help button which connected me to a parking attendant. The sound quality was terrible and all I heard was to come to the cash pay to the right. We did and attempted to had the ticket and card to the attendant that said he could only take cash and that he had told us this before we left. I explained that I couldn’t understand him through the speaker. He repeated that we said we had cash, we did not, and then he just aggressively waved us away and bumbled under his breath. If I hadn’t bought the tickets online we wouldn’t have gone back.
The actual museum itself was ok. A large area was under construction. Many of the activities were not working or did not have all the needed parts. Staff working the science station just stood there talking to each other and never even acknowledged our presence. The flow works section was a complete mess and there were no staff around to maintain the area. The ONLY area that staff appeared to really be working to make it a nice experience was in the CULTURAL GALLERY. They were making sure all the items were getting returned to the correct place to be used by the next Children.
Overall we felt the cost of admission was too high for what was available and functioning.
