This children's museum is set in a historic house. The rooms are small but chocked full of things to do. There is role play, experiments, art, etc. This is a small museum but enjoyable. There is a small gift shop with educational items. There appears to be the ability to have birthday parties there as well. A hour or two... More

This is a small play museum located in a two story Gettysburg home. The parking is scarce but there is a public lot on the street behind the museum. Unfortunately, adults have to pay admission but they do offer discounts for groups. if you are not a part of a group, you may want to check that no groups are... More

My 5 year old grandson was enthralled with being inside a bubble. He loved the water experiments - Lots of things one can't do at home. Wonderful crafts area and he brought home some great art creations. Lovely owners who really like kids. Even the store showed lots of thought - a great place to buy children's gifts

Sine the "new" Visitors Center at the Park does not have the Electric Map which for decades was the effective means of getting an orientation overview of the three day battle,the Diorama nicely fills that function.

Great rainy day activity for kids. 6+ uniquely themed rooms of activities for kids-- puppet theater, water play, dress-up, civil war pretend-play, construction, glow-in-the-dark, art, etc. This is the kind of place you can go to MANY times and not get tired of it.

I took my three-year-old here to play and he didn't want to leave! We ended up going twice because he had such a good time. It is located in a house and each room has a different type of play area. There is an arts and crafts room, a room which features some dress up clothes, and even a room... More

Our daughter is 17 months old. She was a trooper doing all the museums and tours that might seem boring to a toddler. We came across the Explore & More and decided to give it a try for her. It was amazing! There are so many hands-on activities for kids (and even parents)! Theresa had such a wonderful time and... More

Located in an historic house just off the square of Gettysburg. Small gift shop with all sorts of interesting and different toys. My daughter went with her Daisy troop but her older brother had a lot of fun as well. The giant bubble was a favorite...definitely want to get a pic of the kids inside it! The different rooms are...

I took my nephew here and he had a great time dressing up, making crafts and being inside the bubble. His favorite thing was being inside the bubble we must have done it over and over for 20 minutes.

If you have children with you in Gettysburg you must do this! DOnt wait for a rainy day because they have cool stuff outside too. This museum (more like a historical play house for kids)is owned by women who were once school teachers. They memorize each childs name and when the children arrive they give an explanation of the activites.... More
