I also have really enjoyed this museum and my 16 month old son ADORES going here.
The activities are fun and there is lots to do. We usually spend most of our time in the toddler's area which is simply adorable.
The only real complaints that I have is that parking is NOT fun! On a lovely sunny day, it's no big deal parking several blocks away. But we often go on those dreary rainy days and downtown parking with a little one is not a big plus. (Not to mention that the parking is metered! Ugh!)
Yes - there is a parking lot close by, but I'm too cheap to park there!
Another negative is that there are many doors that lead into this building. Not all of the doors lead to the museum. Better signage would help tremendously for the first time visitor.
The museum gets a 5 star - the parking and signage problems 1 star. My son would give it a 6 star if he could!
