Thinkery Review

Love that if you want to go have lunch or something that you can come back with your ticket!Its valid all day long until closing time!

Tons of hands on activities which had an effortless transition.

This place is great for children of all ages. The staff was very professional. Lots of good location s around for the family as well.

Great interactive...better than being online all day!

Gosh honestly whether you're a nanny, parent, or child you're going to feel like you've entered an alternate universe. Where every little section brings the wonderment and curiosity out of young and old. It's a place of entertainment, invention, thinking outside the box, and unabashed, pure joy. I almost wonder if I don't love this place more than the little one I take there? Also the staff just adds to the atmosphere.

This place is beautiful! My almost 2yo daughter had so much fun.
There are so many things to do. We spent here 2 hours, and at the end we were all exhausted.
The water play area is just beyond amazing. They have crocs and aprons for the kids to wear.
The reading area was super cute.
The baby/toddler area had a lot of things for the kids to explore.
The staff was friendly.

This is a really neat childrens museum. There are many different rooms to visit, with plenty to explore in each one as well as enough room for multiple families to be in at the same time. There are plenty of friendly workers around and the building is kept clean. We love that you can bring in your own lunch and drinks and that parking in the garage is validated, that helps keep a budget! The outdoor playscape is great as well!

Great place to bring the kids. The activities never end. You could easily tire out the most active kids here.

Its a neat childrens museum woth lots of different activities that will certainly keep the kids active. The outdoor park is really cool. Theres a lot of physics and science. Overall it was a very entertaining time

amazing experience for kiddos! Great for all ages of kids, the exhibits are built so everyone has something to do. It is a wonderful experience-based learning museum. Definitely recommend.

Great place for kids. My toddler especially loved the water exhibit upstairs.

I went here about a year and a half ago with my younger brother. I was about 13 at the time and I had a blast

Awesome experience for my wife, me and our 1 year old. Gets crowded, but worth the money spent.

The place isn't huge but it is packed with activities that both our toddler and 4th grader enjoyed.

Great place for children!!! A must visit place if you're ever in the Austin area...

Loved our visit.. so much to see and do. Interesting for kids and adults alike. There is a fab play park accross the street and many places to choise to eat. Park in the car park it costs less than the street and you dont have to wstch you're ticket.

Amazing children's museum. The kids had a blast. They are part of several coop museum programs so check you local membership.

I came to the Thinkery for a private 'adult night' where alcoholic beverages and finger-food was served for the visiting patrons and had a blast. While not as expansive as the childrens' museums I've seen in other cities, it certainly has enough content to catch the eye of a child for an hour or two. The water fixture on the second floor was definitely the gem of the venue. Be careful though, it's extremely easy to get your pants/shoes completely soaking wet if you're not watching!

It was awesome, but really designed for 6 year olds or younger. The Farmer's market across street and out door park were a plus.....

Great for children of all ages. Outdoor rope play structure. Water works. Crafts. Healthy food. Lockers. Plenty to do. Favorite is the giant lite-brite

Great place with some fun activities for kids. It can get pretty crowded on the weekend but my kids love it.

Great for little kids, my 8 and 11 year old were super bored. Not big at all. Outdoor play area was the best part.

Lots of activities for kids, with a touch of science in everything. Kids learn about light, water, electricity etc in fun ways

Great place for the children to do activity and spend some time thinking

My 7 and 3 year old love this place. I even bought an annual pass so we could go more often. It is a non profit so your fee for the pass is even tax deductible. Parking is free for three hours in the garage if you remember to get the ticket credited inside. There are a great many hands on experiences for the kids and the kid in you. STEM is King here.

Great interactive learning for kids and the price was low. I gave 4 stars rather than 5, only because of the parking.

Kids loved. Very creative and interesting. Great hands on

Was great for my 7 year old and 9 year old friend, they ran around for three hours and had a blast figuring out all that was in front of them.

I wish when I was a kid they had places like this! My son is 2 and he s been a handful of times and always is so excited to go into each room! The outdoor playground has activities for little ones as well! From the light room to the grocery store there isn t a dull moment! All the employees are always so nice and eager to help my son explore more! Story time is great, huge sit down area with bean bags and pillows, also with huge windows to let in all the natural light! Looooove this place. 100% recommend to all new parents!!

this was a great place to take my child who was only 5 months. had stuff for her to do and as well as her cousin.

Our two year old and eight year old had quite a lot of fun! The staff was very friendly and we were able to get in for free after 2 p.m. because of community night.

This is a neat museum. It's very pricey, though. I'd recommend going when they are running some kind of promotion. I also don't necessarily recommend getting a membership, as it doesn't really have enough activities to really attract you back again and again and again. That said, there are some cool exhibits and my children have had a blast when we've gone.

Lots of fun for the kids, going to be going back in the future

Very cool place but a little pricey as you have to pay for adult admission also.

Place is a lot of fun but mainly for older kids. Obviously my 2 year old won't understand air pressure and microscopes and electronics. It's not as big as it seems either. While they do validate parking, you pretty much have to use the parking garage as there is no room anywhere. I'd go again when kids are older.

There was so much to do. The staff was friendly and helpful. My 2 year old had a blast!

Great place to take the kids it is very creative and it is different then any children museum you have been to before.
If you have kids over two years old this is a spot you need to visit in Austin.

Overall I would say educational in a very fun way.

It was a great experience for my 11 month old he loved the hands on exhibits.

Sad because my son is outgrowing it....I wish they had more activites and interests for the older kids past 7

Great for kids of all ages. Even have a small playroom for babies

We love this place. My 2 yr old has a blast. my 9 yr old has a fun time too. Great indoor and outdoor activity. We bought the yr membership which pays for itself after about 4 -5 trips and we go atleast 3 times a month. Try to go on week days cause saturdays can be overwhelming with that many kids running around.

We had a blast with our 2 year old son. Can't wait to go back!

Sold itself as science learning experience. Was just a few rooms with simple toys and experiences and kids running wild. Not what I expected. Also not worth the money.

My son loved it. He threw up near the kitchen and hesitated to play. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They cleaned up carefully. A nice lady kept telling the poor little one its okay, until he felt relaxed. Recommend the membership for those who live in Austin.

This is a great childrens museum, our young child always has a great time but there are activities for a wide age range.

Enticing atmosphere that really encourages children to socialize and 'tinker' while enhancing a host of skills including critical thinking and motor skills

My son loved the place and they offer military discounts. We will definitely go back.

I went for the first time with my kids on a field trip with the school. I will go back again. It is fun and interactive even infants can get some playtime in.

Very good breakfast, and the portions are large. Get there early or get you order to go, it gets packed here.

Talk about awesome!! So much to do and play with. Every age group has something to do. We love coming here and make use of our membership. I wish there had been a place like this when I was little!

Great museum for children. There's even a little space for babies.

I recommend you use the hand sanitizer dispenser every 15-20 mins to clean your kid's hands. Be aware that it is always crowded here which means germs can spread easily from kids touching everything. Otherwise a fun place for kids with several diff rooms & activities.

This place was awesome. My son had such a great time. Hes 4. They also have a park, Alamo draft house walking distance along w other small stores to get a coffee pastry or drink

I love this place. A great rewarding experience for kids from toddler to 10 years or so. So many different activities. They have a great baby area as well.

Great place for share time with grandparents! Easy accessible, funy story time, songs!

Good place to go for family with kids, and for school/after school program field trip. Reasonable price, and you can use your pass all day (operation hours). Meaning, you can eat out, or enjoy the outdoor activities, like public park (pet friendly), restaurant, coffee, ice cream shop, & movie theater.

My daughter LOVED it!,
Just a bit crowded, she could be there all day!!!

It was Ok. My kids liked the gingerbread workshop and that waa about it. they are 7 and 8. the rest of the activities could not keep them engaged for long. ok to visit once for a few hours.

Super cool place for kids! Great for kids under 10.

My 3 yr old daughter loves this place and we love too. We think about getting a membership. But It is free after 4 a.m. on Wednesdays, if you think couple hours are enough for your little one till closing.

This place is great! Has great activities for babies.

Fun and educational with great events. It can be quite pricey so cknsider finding a friend to trade off buying annnual memberships, or go Wednesday 4 pm to 8 pm for pay what you want. (Or if you are a Bank Of America card holder, check out their museums on us program.)

This is a place of marvel, discovery, and joy like no other. So many all-hands-on, fun, super mentally-stimulating exhibits for kids and adults alike. You won't want to leave. When you finally have to, you'll want to come back again and again.

Heard great things about this place before we went and we were not disappointed. So much to do that more than one trip might not be a bad idea. Not exactly cheap, but a solid value with the quality and variety of activities offered.

So many rooms and activities for our toddler. Staff is engaged and always cleaning messy areas up after the children play to keep the space appealing. Will be back.

My child loves this places! There's so much to do and explore, he never gets bored.

This place is great for toddlers! On Mondays and Saturdays(? I've only been on Mondays) this place is 3 and under only. There are some very engaging sections of this interactive museum including water fixtures, painting, and air propelled gliders. I'm not sure how old would be too old for a kid to go, but my almost 2 year old loves it.
