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.

  • An excellent place for children to learn and explore all about the world around them. Very clean, well staffed, everyone is friendly and kind, excellent security measures for the kids and a reasonable entry price ($13) for in and out entry. This place alone is worth the visit to Buffalo.
