We LOVED the Kidmuseum. I recommend this for ages 5-12. They had really great stations. Our favorites were the textile station, where kids learned to sew on buttons, and the wood shop area, where they worked on screwing screws to a board and attaching rubber bands to make various patterns. We also loved the robot cars and fans with tubes attached. Staff was very helpful and attentive. Parking was easy in the parking garage and free on Sundays. My only notes are that id love to hear some music when you enter and maybe more stations for the scratch robots. Everyone seemed really happy and the kids were really enjoying themselves. Thank you for a great experience!
It was a delightful experience. It is a bit crowded on Sunday afternoon but there are enough staff there to support all activities. We spent a little over an hour there to learn about circuits, classic TV games, blocks, lights, winds and vacuum. Overall it is a much better than average children museum. The admission was free to MCPS Montgomery county public school students currently. We used the free public garage parking 7401 Waverly Street, Bethesda, MD 20814.
As parents, are we always looking for safe, creative, and stimulating ways to engage our kids! You know, get them off the screen and couch! I learned about the KID museum through an email blast and decided to check it out. Our son loved it. The space has variety of learning corners. The staff are patient and friendly. Now, instead of inviting folks to meet up for a playdate at the Park, I ask them to checkout the kid museum! Variety, they say, is the spice of life! I will encourage the team to simplify messaging to help us know the different programs available to kids. And please keep up the good work!
Great maker space for kids. Fun projects that kids of all ages will enjoy. Even on a busy day, the workers and volunteers make time to connect to your kid and give them instructions. There is a parking garage less than a block away, so not sure why folks were complaining about parking.
This is an amazing museum!!! We have been twice and will be going back. There is something for every child here from high tech coding to good old fashion arts and crafts! They have an amazing makerspace where children can learn how to use tools and see a 3D printer in action.The layout is open but has smaller learning spaces for activities related to specific topics. My kids loved building a maze and making small flying objects to try in the wind tunnels. The staff is friendly,engaging,and always around to help. Parking is easy at the Waverly St. Garage just across the street or you can take Metro right to the museum! I even had a great time as an adult! We programmed a small robot, played with neat gadgets from a visiting engineering school, and had fun creating art!
Nice museum, lots of parking area, a big hotel, and metro station right next to the museum. Good place to go with kids.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
It is okay. Small, but very well staffed. Everyone inside is friendly and try to explain to the kids what to do and help them. They had timed entry which helps prevent crowds. The place is clean for the most part. However, my kids were uninterested in most things the place had to offer, but I did force them to try each station. Interestingly enough they had more fun playing with a fan and rubber band. Most likely would not come back because the kids did not care for this place.
I believe the high school volunteers need more training. They do not know how to interact with the children. I didn’t see many KID museum staff members interacting with the children. There also wasn’t enough teaching in the rooms. The high schoolers were just talking and not actually teaching the children. I probably wouldn’t come back just based off of that. I know it was on a Sunday and it’s probably different during the week but I was considering getting a membership for my two children but I’m not anymore. There was also a lot of children just running around unsupervised. My youngest 4 year old couldn’t enjoy the mini maker area because the older children kept throwing the cube blocks and the volunteers weren’t doing anything about it. I live in Richmond, VA and I drove two hours for this. It was unfortunately a waste of money. My 11 year old said he had a good time so that’s the only reason why I gave this place 3 stars.
Creating learning. My kids had so much fun learning by doing hands-on activities. Also, I really appreciate the extra sinks; it made cleanup so much easier.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
This is a very engaging place for kids of all ages. There are a lot of learning activities, workshops, games, & puzzles. Had a great time !
