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.

  • It's worth a go! I took 3 kids that were 6, 10 & 12 and they all loved it, there was activities for all of them. The first floor is food, and the other 3 floors are things for the kids to do. On the 4th floor there is a rooftop that had some activities for the kids. I went on a friday midday, and it was busy, but it was the cleanest child museum I've seen.
