Although it's fallen on hard times recently as far as funding, the Children's Museum of Utica still offers a nice variety of activities to stimulate imaginations and interests. From even the littlest one who can play in the safely sectioned off area on the big wooden train and with age-appropriate toys to the older kids who can venture into the nearby school, post office, supermarket or doctor's office, there is much to encourage imaginative play! Upper floors offer a number of choices--dinosaur explorations, lego train tracks, even a small animal section. Several different classes are offered from crafts to music for munchkins and admission is very reasonable.
