Imagination Station Review

Omg that place was soooo fun... Ive obly been there once in 2nd grade =( i miss being there for that one day. I hope i can go back sometime because there was sooo much i missed. And hey sometimes moving is good cause if i havent moved then i would have went there.

Great place to take younger kids to let their mind grow

My kids love this place. Worth the 1hr drive from Detroit

This is such a great place for adults and children alike. It is educational and entertaining all at once. However, it can be quite loud. If you are sensitive to noise you should be prepared.

Enjoyed the traveling exhibit "Popnology"... A facinating look at the world's most recent technological advances.

Your kids will love this place. I guarantee when they're out of high school they will still remember the great times they had here.

I like it a lot! I don't get to go often because the parking downtown sucks badly! I like watching the kids do an activity and watch their eyes light up when they learn something they didn't know. The live demonstrations are so awesome, I think I like them better than the kids do. They need their own parking area just for the Imagination Station!

Plenty to do, fun, interesting stations. Most exhibits were well maintained. Some very unique exhibits. We went on a weekend, wasn't crowded. Clean facilities. Few staff, but the ones we interacted with were friendly and helpful. Storage lockers for coats/bags. The parking structure across the street is super sketchy.

My kids loved it! Brought back memories when I was kid. If your a Parent living in the Lucas county area you must take your child, if they or you never been the experience is priceless.

A little pricy but a fun place. The ride they have is pretty intense for an indoor kiddie attraction.

Nice place to spend two or three hours if you are in the area. Staff was nice and the building was clean.

Great place for kids of all ages. Exhibits are interesting and in good shape. Membership is reciprocal to other science museums around the country.

This is a must go/must join for everyone with kids living in Toledo. We have been members for years and will continue.

Not inclusive.. they are having a girls only stem event. That s sad, boys need to be equally as encouraged that way even boys interested can have strong women around them to look up to. I don t see you having any boys only events so why be so uninclusive to begin with? People have more than one child, often each gender. I just think this is setting a bad example and is a horrible move on your part. Won t be back to a place who doesn t include boys/men too. I see it happening all over, more kids shows showing that girls can be doctors which is great and all but there are 0 that show boys can do it too. We are going to fall apart as a society unless it s made equal.

There are many fun activities for families to enjoy. It's a great place for kids and adults to learn and interact with science.

Always a fun place to visit. The only thing that's bad is the membership parking. On a freezing day it's a LONG walk.

Excellent opportunities for children to explore and experience a variety of activities.

its a very fun place to learn about cars robotics and science for all ages

Awesome!! Buckeye cable private party!! So much fun!!

More expensive than I expected & I don't feel the experience was worth the price. I am an educator & appreciate the idea of it but every time I go it's not as intriguing as I hoped. We paid extra to check out the dinosaur display & there wasn't that much experience.

Lots of things to do. We could spend hours in each area

It's not as good as it used to be when I was younger. They closed down a lot of stuff. Wasn't impressed.

Certain things didn t work the same, or were scratched or just not kept in the best shape. However, i still had a great time and there s so much to do. It s a lot of fun to be there and so many little activities. Great place for all ages honestly.

Not cheap, but definitely a great place for children. If you've been to one excellent children's science museum, you pretty much know what to expect. Can bring your own food, or buy there. There are some parking garages within walking distance; these are extra fees unless you have a membership. Lots for kids to do. Can easily spend the entire day. The dinosaur exhibit is extra - can buy admission to "everything else" or a combo with the dino exhibit. Outside the museum are some parabolic dishes that kids can whisper in one and hear in the other. Those are free. Not a place for germophobes because the kids will be touching anything and everything.

Great learning place for the kids lots to do and see all day entertainment

I remember going here as a kid and now work here as an adult.
The place is fun to go to and even has a few changing rooms and features that make it a great place to revisit or even get a membership for. It makes learning about science fun and it gets kids and adults alike to explore Toledo and all the cool places that they can visit to learn and stay educated.

A wonderful science playground for all ages to learn through play. Always a new exhibition and frequent demonstrations. Play area for toddlers also. Food Court. Restrooms. Parking garage across the street with an enclosed bridge across.

David Garibaldi's live art performance was incredible...

Such a fun science center. They're expanding too so I can't wait to see what it's be like when that project is done

I've been there before and from what I could recall, it was decent for the kids. So my wife and I bought a season pass to take the kids in the summer and on days we weren't otherwise busy. This trip was an absolute NIGHTMARE though. We took our almost 4 year old to imagination station and were overrun by masses of obnoxious students who were on field trips from various schools. The entire trip was a nightmare and our child found himself being overrun by older (est. 8-12 year olds) kids who even made their way into the kindergarten or below age group section. The entire visit has my wife and I wondering if we made a grave and costly mistake, purchasing a year pass of $120. Plus, be aware parking is not exactly close if it's bad weather. So bring an umbrella or be prepared to drop off the family and be the one who ends up soaked, running to and from the car. I imagine it would have been better if there weren't demonic hordes of badly behaved children though. Take it for what it's worth.

Excellent place to take the kids in the winter, although there are outdoor science activities in the warmer months. A membership is a great value! Staff is generally very friendly and helpful. Facility is clean and cared for. Street parking can be a challenge, but there is parking across Summit in the Vistula garage that is usually $3-$5 per visit. There are also membership options that include free parking.

Plenty of memories here. It's changed a lot over the years but still a great place to take young ones to explore and learn. Plenty of exhibits and they always have a traveling exhibit in town for variety. Lots of events on their calendar, check before you go to see what's available. There's a decent cafe available and several nearby restaurants within walking distance.

Such an awesome place for kids to learn STEM focused material in a fun way. They do an excellent job of making sure to mix exhibits up and have new things. I highly recommend becoming a member if you are local.

An absolutely great place to visit with kids! When we were there, they had an amazing Mythbusters exhibit. The only problem was that many of the special exhibits were a little pricey. But, over all, one of the best science museums that I've ever visited!

So glad I went. Found that it is awesome for all ages. My toddler loved the area just for kids his age

Kept my 5 year old engaged and entertained for hours.

Great Place For Children Of All Ages. My 5 Year Old And I Loved The Lego Table. The Water Table Is A Great Addition. Perfect Place To Spend Hours On A Rainy Day. Great Interactive Play Stations As Well As Interactive Puzzles That Use Critical Thinking Skills.

Totally cool expirience hands on and really opens up your mind to gravity and science all the way to optical illusions .right off the water 55 miuntes freeway from wyandotte to toledo also near baseball stadium art galleries and waterfront park gold for kids and adults.and they have lockers to store your stuff they also have a gift shop inside .

A rescue in the winter time! My kid loves this place and it's great to have indoor play space when the weather gets cold.

Great fun for the whole family, often has extra activities happening.

My son loved the human body exhibit they had there! His father said a lot hasn't changed since he was a kid. But, that's part of the reason why he loved it!

Friendly, helpful staff and A LOT of fun learning for all!

Grandson really enjoyed everything! It was fun watching him and participating I felt that many areas were messy and should have been kept up better.

Clean and friendly.. very helpful to the children answered all of their questions

Highly interactive play place for kids. Many hands on science experience for all ages.

Awesome place for some younger kids. Worth checking out.

This was a really fun science museum. I wish I wasn't so heavy so I could ride the bike.

Great place for kids to learn. Lots of hand on things to do!

I remember going here as a kid and now work here as an adult.
The place is fun to go to and even has a few changing rooms and features that make it a great place to revisit or even get a membership for. It makes learning about science fun and it gets kids and adults alike to explore Toledo and all the cool places that they can visit to learn and stay educated.

Grandkids loved it, so many things to do and explore. Clean, safe and well run, nice staff.

Really cool place, and free entry because we are members at a different children's museum.

Clean and friendly.. very helpful to the children answered all of their questions

This place is the best for a family day out in Toledo. Educational, friendly, fun learning atmosphere. Something for every age to enjoy. Definitely a favorite spot for my family. Buy a membership! Its well worth the price.

absolutely love taking my toddler to the imagination station. They have so many different exhibits that it's fun for all ages! they have a wonderful cafeteria area that you can either purchase food from their cafe or bring in a bag lunch from home! And their staff is always helpful!

A lot of the attractions need , a lots of attention, and maintenance

This place is fun for all ages. They did a great job making science interesting and fun.

Great place for the family to go and have a fun time

Not a bad place for little ones who love science and to explore. A great way to develop their senses... Although i do recommend going on days when there are no schools visiting, i found they let the kids run around unsupervised and they can be jerks to the little kids... The parking sucks, having a little one that doesnt depend on a stroller can become cranky from the long walk (to their little legs its a long distance), not to mention its creepy and smells like urine.

Great for kids. They have enough exhibits to make it fun to go back multiple times. Plus, the kids usually fall asleep after going there because they wear themselves out.

One of the many "jewels" in Toledo. Always have special things to do for kids. Great place to have fun and learn. Imagination Station is one of several places I bring up when someone says: "there is nothing to do in Toledo".

The kids had a great time running and exploring all the areas. It's an all day adventure.

Had a great time with the kids - they loved the hands on exhibits! Exceeded our expectations!

Great family place to take kids tons of different things to do.
