Best

It is small, but there are lots of activities for the kids. It is especially good for preschoolers. Each month, they have a deal to receive free admission.

Worst

Words cannot describe my disappointment in this so-called 'museum'. I took my grandchildren (ages 7 and 9). Place... dirty, toys old, more a rundown daycare, certainly NOT a place...

Words cannot describe my disappointment in this so-called 'museum'. I took my grandchildren (ages 7 and 9). Place... dirty, toys old, more a rundown daycare, certainly NOT a place for ALL AGES as indicated in their website. Tanks so dirty that you could not even see what was inside them. Waterman's exhibit (a joke) was a wooden boat to play on...nothing more. Wildlife consisted a poor rabbit in a dirty cage. A couple of turtles that could be touched, but inadequate hand sanitation available. The 'around the world' display consisted of a few cards written in Spanish for a few objects. This place was worst than words can describe. Aerial view of place on website made it look like it was in a beautiful woodland setting where in fact it was at the end of a neighborhood. It was nothing more than a rundown trailer. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. more

I went to this museum based on the website and the listing in the Annapolis and the Chesapeake Visitors Guide. Talk about false advertising! It is listed as a hands-on museum for children of all ages. It should be a crime that they call themselves a museum. There were no exhibits, only old, hand-me-down toys. The place was dirty and disgusting. It is geared to toddlers but I would be afraid to let a toddler play there because of the filth. There was an admission deal that if you brought school supplies that there would be no admission price. The receptionist didn't even get off the phone or greet us as she took our supplies. We were dumbfounded by what we saw. I should have gone with my first instinct when I saw the place and never set foot inside. I would give this a zero rating if I could! more

THIS PLACE IS BEYOND HORRID. SMELLY, FILTHY AND A STAFF THAT SHOULD HAVE STAYED HOME. THE EXHIBITS WERE LESS THAN APPEALING AND THE BASEMENT GIVES SPOOKY A WHOLE NEW MEANING. I FELT BAD FOR THE FEW ANIMALS THAT WERE THERE. NO ONE WAS TAKING CARE OF THEM, THEY LOOKED ILL AND THE CAGES AND POND DISGUSTINGLY FILTHY. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY. more

First off, this place is NOT a Museum and should not be allowed to call themselevs one. This is a ran down single size trailer with old toys. It reminded me of a trailer parks day care if they would have one. The staff (or people who lived there)were odd. I felt like I was a unwanted house guest. Also it looked like nothing had been cleaned in a long time. The outside was just as bad.Less then 100ft away are the sewage drains and it smells! I have listed below how the exhibits shoul read. Bay Window Exhibit: A window in the basement that views the woods. The Aquatic and land-living creatures are pets in cages(bunnie,chinchilla), they had turtles swimming in a inside plastic pond and a few fishtanks. Watermen: The ten-foot boat is ten feet LONG! They dont tell you its only 2-3ft high. It is a vary small wooden boat made for ages 2-4. Hard Hats: did not even see this. Body Works: A creepy room in the back of the trailer and looked like it came from a scarry movie. Express Yourself: Color on things out of a land fill (trash). Its a joke! Center Stage: Dress up in old clothes and stand on a woodbox for the stage. Not close to how its discribed Around the World: Not how they make it sound.Or what you would think it to be. Everything Under the Sun: No clue what this was or where it was. Never seen any exhibit at all on this. NASA needs to follow up on whatever they sent them. Underground Railroad Trail: They dont tell you that they only take groups of ten and only on tues and thurs, But you can take your self if you want with no map. more

I found this place to be very run down and dirty. toys are broken and there really isn't a lot to do. it is great for an indoor activity for toddlers but anything older will get bored quick. more
