A world-class children’s museum that celebrates the power of child-led play has arrived at Buffalo’s doorstep. With four floors of fun to explore, the 43,000 sq. ft. museum sits at the crossroads between replica canals and bridges that have become year-round community destinations. The museum reflects that sense of place with thoughtfully crafted exhibits that help children develop a deeper sense of our world, our community and their place in it in a fun and engaging way for children and adults alike.

  • Such a fun place! 15 month old had a blast and was a great family day! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to spend some time as a family. Everything was very clean and felt safe.

  • We've been going to this place for 2 years now. It's perfect for ages under 12. The first floor is car wash make playmate kitchen, and fix your car station. Second floor is a mock clinic, race car, train.. third floor has a farm treehouse and outside is gorgeous with balance tricycles. Once again it's a wonderful place to visit if you have young kids. We can easily spend hours here. Especially now with the cafeteria being accessible to outside food. Makes it very economical place for large families

  • Was fun! I've only been to the one in East Aurora a few years back. It was exciting to see my two boys play with all the exhibits, and enjoy themselves
