This museum had a lot of neat activities, but to say it's age range is for up to 10 years old is a stretch. I took my 8 year old daughter and she was done with everything in about 15 minutes. I have to say younger kids would love it...the castle and pirate ship are neat and I enjoyed the... More

We absolutely love the Children's Museum! We even had my daughter's birthday party there. There is something for everyone from the water room to the balls. The castle and the pirate ship are always a favorite as is the shopping center. I have never seen the cash registers actually work, but the kids don't care! The art center is fun,... More

Was just there with my 6 and 9 year old. My 9 year old was a bit old for the attractions although the website says it's good for kids up to age 12. There were some summer camps happening with big groups of kids who would kind of swarm an attraction and then move in a pack to the next... More

I have been to many children's museums and Charleston ranks high. Nice layout and interactive play areas. My 4 year old especially liked the outdoor areas. Should get 3 hours of fun for the ten bucks.

The boys had fun making their art and their favorite part was the pirate ship. Each room is dedicated to a different subject and boys & girls can play dress up. (The museum provides the outfits!) It's a small place, but we spent over 2 hours there and time passed really fast.

We have been members for many years and it is a perfect place for an outing on hot summer days or in the school breaks. Mostly for the 0-9 year old, but their art room was a lifesaver when I brought my preteen daughter. My oldest boy asked to go even when he was 9 and older, since it has... More

We took 4 kids to this museum and enjoyed ourselves. Unfortunately 2 of the four were too old; however, they enjoyed themselves. The water tables were very educational and what kid doesn't like to play in water? Great local outing....
