    About the Business

    Kearney Area Children's Museum is a place where children and their families can play, learn, and grow. We strive to provide our visitors with an affordable way to merge education and fun while spending quality time together. Each of our exhibits is an interactive learning experience. Unlike a traditional museum, children are invited to touch, push, pull, build, and play with every exhibit. Our primary mission is to enhance the Central Nebraska community by providing a unique and fun educational resource for our youth and their families.…

      Where do I start, way overpriced for what it is. 8 dollars for kids and 7 dollars for adults. What do you have for adults to even do? Half of the exhibits weren't even working, no paper or crafting supplies in areas designed for that. Not organized at all, especially in the store. Made the mistake of spending money here for 30 minutes. Go to the park instead way more to do.

      I've only been here once, but was amazed what a cool place this was for children. Our little one had plenty of activities and/or toys to play with and we haven't even done everything yet. We'll be definitely visiting again with our little one to see if we can do the rest of the areas or re-visit our favorites.

      First time at the museum

      We have been members for many years. It has been a wonderful place for our children to explore, learn, create and burn energy. There is a wide range of age appropriate activities for babies to tweens. It is the perfect place to go during the winter months when going outdoors is not an option! While our children do not notice, I am giving it a three star because it often feels "dirty" with noticeable dust bunnies around the floor boarders, toys often feel "used" and the bathrooms are continually disgusting. While we've had pleasant interactions with many of the staff members, I've had several interactions with management that has been concerning, while I hope that I have just caught them on "bad days" and that the human that is in all of us trumped the professionalism of their job. It is discouraging to know that this is how our local children's museum has been portrayed.

      My two-year-old loved this place last year and even more this year. It is more for the younger ones, but great selection. I had to drag him away after four hours. Ambulance, police car, fire truck, trains, trampoline, mail truck and so much more!

      Very disappointed. Of course I didn't expect this to be like Lincoln's children museum but come on! My opinion is this, let's just except money and not put anymore into it then the cleaning aspect of it. Strong cleaning smell when we walked through. Several of the interactive areas didn't work or have the needed supplies. Like the marbles for the marble race / deposit slips and checks for the bank area. The grocery area lacked something but couldn't put my finger on it. To me this place was only a big indoor play area only suited for multiple kid families. Oh and to charge for an adult to enter when most everything in here could only be interacted with if your are a small child. Ridiculous.
