Thinkery Review

Always an immediately engaging environment for kids of all ages, including us big ones!

A wonderful interactive experience for kids and adults

I came here for 3rd grade school field trip. I had fun too. You will smell lots of diapers, since the place is for toddlers too . Wednesday is free entrance for families!! Even parking is free. All the staff members are super friendly and some of them are bilingual (spanish).

My girls loved this place! We even bought annual tickets as it worked out to be cheaper for our family! Two visits means we pay off our tickets! Will definitely go again!

Was a little crowded! But overall great activities.

I have been to many children museums and Thinkery in Austin has been the very best one. My daughter is 1.5 years old and there were tons of activities for her to do. She loved the bubbles and water activity the most. Bring 2nd pair of clothes, socks, and shoes.
Also, they validated our parking pass when we parked in the garage.

Its a great place for kids to have fun and learn to play with other kids

My son loved this place they had so many things for kids to do but watch your kids because there are some spoiled brats that think all the toys and gadgets are theirs. The moniters there are great because they will put the mean kids In their place.

My 1 year old grandson had a ball. Take your kids or grandkids, its interactive and fun

A great place for not only children, but adults too!

This is the most awesome place for kids to learn and explore!

My four and five year old loved this place. We easily spent 3 hours in there.

Must go on Adult night. Music drinks and a really good time.

We have the yearly membership. Very good deal for my family. My toddler loves it. Good way to beat the heat during the summer!

Spring Break and wall to wall kids enjoying themselves.... Didn't know there were that many ways you could use a golf ball :-)

What a fun little place to gain some knowledge, kids & adults

Great place for children to explore and learn science and crafts.

Wow. Kid heaven. What a wonderful place to explore

Absolutely love being able to see my son run around so excited to see all the interesting things to do here.

Our kids love this place. They enjoy it everytime as the first. The environment and activities are very encouraging to the curiosity and development of any kid at any age.

This place is great for the kids. There are so many differnet options for the kids; indoors or outdoors, water activities or dry activities, interactive play or independent play. My kids (2 year old and 8 year old) really enjoyed themselves. I was even able to participate in a few of the activites which was nice. Excellent location. Your tickets are good for the whole day or you can become a member. I would recommend this place for those looking for a day out with the kids.

Really nice place for kids of all ages - explore science, tech, engineering, arts and math

My family loves the Thinkery. We like it now now that you can pay $13 a month for a membership. It works out a lot better budget wise. It's so big and so many areas to explore. The water area inside and out is great for the hot TX weather. I like that it'll be place can go to for years to come as our little ones grow because there are more areas that they'll be able to explore as they get older. It's also located next to a public park so if it's ever crowded, you can just head to the park for a bit.

Great place to escape the heat. The water room was a lot of fun. Expect to get wet in there.

Expensive as a one off price. Will be considering getting a membership. Great experience for my kiddo.

This is one of the best places in Austin to bring your kiddos. They get to burn plenty of physical energy climbing around on the playground, but they also get to exercise their brain with the different activity rooms like the light and dark room with giant lite-brites, circuit connections, pneumatics (connecting air tubes), water room, painting, plastic and foam airplanes, and much more! So fun!

Great kids exploration center. Several interactive stations I've not seen elsewhere.

It was just okay. I really prefer the Doseum in San Antonio.

Great place for fun with the kids. My 5 year old loves to make crafts and reuse materials downstairs, loves to shop and cook with toy food upstairs in the farmers market, and play in the water room. My 17 mo old walks around the baby play area and enjoys all the little light installments, toys, and tunnels. Great space for hot and cold days. Beware germs (hundreds of kids going through this place per day) but we just try to wash a lot while we're there!

Great party rooms! The attendants are great too. Very helpful.

Love the Thinkery! Fun for all ages. We can spend hours there and never get bored

My daughter loved this place. I remember going to the Austin Children's Museum when I was a child and this is so much better. We will definitely start frequenting the Thinkery.

Every year we take our classroom kids for a field trip. Extremely nice and helpful guides. Interesting and fun activities for children. Clean and well organized.

The Thinkery was absolutely awesome. Went with the whole second grade from the school I work at. I was so surprised at how much there was to do. Our students had so much fun that I wish we would have been able to spend more than just two hours there. The staff was really friendly starting with the lady that gave our students the speech on where to go and how to act inside. She made it fun and very kid friendly.

The staff are friendly and helpful with anything that comes with visiting a hands-on children's exploratorium. The exhibits were captivating to the kids, and certainly to this grown-up.

My kids love this place. We had a nice time. We look forward to going back once a week. Its a great place to learn explore and have fun. They have things for all ages. My baby went for the first time ever. She had a blast with the other babies. It was so nice seeing my whole family have a great time. I highly recommend this to all families. Science is fun for all ages..... Even babies :-)

We went here for adult night and had so much fun. Played with all the exhibits and enjoyed some wine from the bars they had around the museum. For adults it's a one time visit kinda place but I see how this place is heaven for kids.

This place is so fun, feel like a kid every time I come here!!!

Fun, entertaining but busy. I suggest checking peak times.

I went with my grandkids. There were many fun activities for kids to do. I learned something new myself as a grandmother.

My son loves it. It's educational. Staff is excellent. It's safe, creative and allows children to express and experience real life challenges through play. Wonderful

It's great for toddlers! My son is 9 now and has out grown the thinkery.

It was neat. Great for kids. But my only issue was a lot of the activities we're closed. Which made the price to pay seem Almost a rip off. If a lot of your activities are closed y'all should take money off the fee to enter.

The Austin kids museam was a fun place to take our son. He loved the truck excavation and the building workshop. The one one thing I would say was negative was that some exhibits weren't working. Also they.didn't have enough for children under 4 to get their hands on. Could use some improvement but a decent place.

We were on a family vacay over the weekend and while the older kids and more fit adults went to Twin Falls, my sister and I took my 4 year old grandson and 7 year old granddaughter to Thinkery. When they told me it was the same price, $12, for the 4 year old as it was for me, I thought that was a bit expensive. We were there for 3 hours and it was worth every penny of the price of admission.....not that $12 is expensive, just that the same price for everyone over 23 months is kind of odd. Most places have some kind of price break between children and adults.

This place was AWESOME!! The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, the prices are super reasonable, and the facility was very clean. Our babies are only 16 months so there were many activities that were "too big" for them, but the whole second floor was a great space for thelittles. The water table activity area was easily their favorite part :) There was also an area that was specifically for babies and toddlers and they had a blast in there. I highly recommend taking kiddos here for a day of fun!! We will be back!!

We call it the Germery but we're here all the time. It's the best. My son's favorite place by far.

One of the best places for children. Imagination go wild!

Fun for kids all ages. Parking is validated for up to the hours but if you eat lunch in a restaurant nearby they'll give you a validation for all day

My two year old had a good time! It s smaller than I thought but there are many things to do which both my daughter and I enjoyed playing with.

We're so lucky to have the Thinkery in Austin. The only problem is that because it's so good so many people want to be there :)

My son loves to come here! There is so much to do and he loves the train table and could play there the whole day lol

Very cool lots of stuff for the kids to do the price is not that bad I would definitely recommend it I don't think I would go more than twice a year but really cool for the first time you would want to go having enough time

We didnt go inside this time...just across the street to take pic for prom.

My 21 month old had a blast and barely explored half of the place.

We absolutely love the Thinkery! There is so much to do for littles of any age. Their prices are very fair and we are considering a membership because of how often we find ourselves going. We love going to Baby Bloomers (a program for kids age 0-3) as it isn t as crowded but even during normal business hours, it s such a great place!

Haven't been in a few years but my son loved going here. Lots of stuff to do, from games to building activities to water play. There are light displays, physics puzzles, and playgrounds. Plenty to do and see for an entire day's outing. Unfortunately, you have to walk through the over priced gift shop to enter and exit so be prepared to make the decision between spending too much on trinkets/toys or disappointing your kids.

It could be bigger, but it is a good place to spend half day with your child.

Every parent should take their kids to the Thinkery. Hands on, interactive, and fun learning activities that spark children s curiosity and imagination. We love going there and keep coming back.

Glad to find this place. The area has a lot of stuff to do not only for kids but also for parents.

Austin Free day at muesem. Super cool for all ages. You can bring in snacks to have at snack area. Family fun .

Soooooooo much fun! I brought my 7yo and 1yo and they had a blast. You can come and go as you please, there are restaurants within walking distance, parking is only a dollar an hour, and there is a great playground across the street. Can't recommend enough!!

We visit Austin for quick weekend trips and took out 4yr old here on the last visit. It was definitely worth the stop! There was so much to do for all ages, and there was even an outdoor play area. The gift shop had great items, although I wish it was at the very front of the place (hard to pull a kid away). The bathrooms were clean and the exploration stations were well maintained and clean. Be prepared to have.your child get wet in the upstairs portion, definitely bring a towell.

Great place for thw kids to play and learn at the same Time!!!
