Loved this place and especially the best time to spend with kids where they are engaged with various activities. I just took Bank Of America card and my entry was free since BofA provides free entry to thinkery and many other places on the first weekend of any month.

We were visiting family from out of town and brought our 3 year old, 2 year old, and 11 month old. This place is amazing. They have thought of everything. The kids were fully entertained, the staff was excellent, and the facility was very clean. I loved the infant area. Most kid friendly places don'...

The Thinkery is a great experience for anyone who has children that love to explore. The exhibits have very little explanation which motivates you to have those cherished moment with your kids to figure it out. Leading them to use their minds, and create in a way they may not be accustomed to. If yo...

Each section offers kids a different experience from the previous. We've been going since my toddler was 12 months old. He's always entertained, bathrooms are easily accessible for washing hands but toilets are all adults sized, with no stools (difficult for potty training). There's a mother's room ...

My son loves this place, kids friendly. I really like the way employees handle the situation. One time we saw a little boy yelling for his Daddy but i did not see anyone come to him, so i let the staff know, they came to the boy and approach as a friend, asking about his Daddy and let's go find his ...

Our 2 year old had an amazing time here. There was so much to do and see that we couldn t fit it all into a single trip and can t wait to come back. Places to eat nearby and a park across the street. Wish we lived nearby so we could visit more often!

It s a good place for kids to be busy for 2-3 hours while exploring things . Young parents can spend time while kids can play .Parents tickets should be free because the tickets are very expensive for kids . There are not much things to do on the 2nd floor . They should add more stuff on the large ...

Baby bloomers for little ones 3 & under on Saturday morning was fun for my 2 yr old nephew. It was a nice way to experience the Thinkery without the extra traffic. Wear water shoes or risk soggy socks from the water room. The staff is friendly and energetic. If you forget snacks the vending machines...

The Thinkery has two floors of fun learning experiences. We ve been members for two years now and it s a great place if it s too cold or hot to stay outside. The kids love going back again and again. They recently changed some attractions which is good because some stations were getting old after aw...

I love the Thinkery it s family and kid friendly they highly encourage and engage in active play with your children, The facility itself is very clean and there are workers constantly picking up after the kids. If your child injures in self they do offer an ice pack, band aids etc. Wednesday nights ...

We took our 2 year old and she had the best time. There are activities for all ages but she enjoyed the upstairs labs the best. We were concerned at first because there were multiple school field trips on the day we went but there was plenty of room for everyone and we never had to wait to have some...

We already love the Thinkery because it's incredible. Seriously one of the best kids museums out there. BUT we just held our daughters 4th birthday here and I cannot say enough how much we love this place. The guy running the party and his co-worker engaged the kids, sang with them, kept them all ha...

This place was great, my Only complaint is the lack of ANY hand sanitizer stations as I witnessed so many coughing and sneezing without washing I naturally avoided those stations for my children..Naturally the kids loved it..Great idea

Just what we needed after days of being tourist in San Antonio, Waco and Austin. Our 16 month old was clearly done being in the car and needed some play time. The weather with lightning etc we were desperately looking for a play space. Best thing ever! Water room we spent close to an hour in. The re...

The coolest place for our 11 month old and we can't wait for him to discover all the other things he can do here as he gets older! Mondays it's 5 dollars and for children under 3 and Wednesdays is free from 4 to 8 pm. The annual memberships are really good too, definitely worth it.

Recently went to the Thinkery with my 8 year old, wife and some friends - also went for a Google City Experts event. As long standing attendees of the old Austin Children's Museum, I was thrilled with the new site! The kids who were with us were also. It is a vast upgrade not only in size, but al...

The thinkery is an awesome resource for kids and parents to engage all sorts of scientific phenomena in simple and fun activities. About six months ago our family bought the annual family pass and we've been several times. It allows us to take a grandmother or a friend and it's really easy to check ...

Ok, I guess. Small and overpriced and overcrowded but the light section was cool. Houston children's museum is way more varied, has bigger/better versions of similar exhibits, and is less pricey. Fine to wherein a kid for a couple hours, though.

Great place for younger children. (Ages 1-8ish) Any children older than this might not enjoy it as much as the attractions are more for younger kids. But definitely a great place for the littles! Also right next to a park which is great for picnics afterwards!

They have an area to eat indoors with tables, chairs, rolling highchairs, sinks to wash hands or small containers if needed, and lots of sanitizer lol the outside play area...

Great place for kids to learn and explore. During the busiest hours it can be a little much for smaller kids (0-3), but as long as you're not there during peak hours there is plenty space for them to play. Our favorite area is the water area on the second floor. Also, don't miss the Adult Nights, wh...
