WE have been going since our grandchildren were toddlers. At that time we spent about 3 hours downstairs with a break for lunch at the restaurant behind the museum and taking a picnic at other times. Great picnic tables outside. Just keep your stickers on for re entry. Now that they are 7 and 9, we stay from 3-5 hours upstairs. They have favorite areas such as the piggy bank, large building blocks and the electric room. Always the piano steps along the back wall. Plenty of sitting areas for adults. Enjoy watching their imagination go wild.
