Thinkery Review

nice place but quite small for a city the size of Austin. Within 2 hours you have seen what is to be seen.

Fun learning activities for kids of all ages. I only wish it were bigger.

We were on a tour with a class field trip, so didn't get to experience it all. My 7yo loved it and I had fun too.

Pretty darn great children's museum. My daughter always has a good time.

This is just a WONDERFUL place for kids - a dozen different kinds of activities, sure to provide something of interest to every child.

Very cool science lab and activity center, and I enjoyed how they social distanced the experience.

The Thinkery is so much fun! I went two two year olds and they wore themselves out.

My children enjoyed their visit to the museum. I do wish the adult price was a little less and offer and educator discount. My kids liked the market upstairs area.

Best place in town to take kids! my grown children enjoyed as much as my grand kids!

Very interactive, just an all around fabulous place for kids of all ages. Ur lil one is bound to find several exhibits they could spend hours in. The food trucks Round the corner make it a 1 stop shop.

Very funny and I hope that the children begin to understand how our world works

A little expensive for what it is. Cool place but a surprisingly quick walk through

Great place for my kiddos!!!!....very Scienterrrific

Worths visit ever do not recommend visiting right now.

We took a trip to Austin this past weekend and were looking for something to do with our two little ones. We love the Houston Children's Museum and the Thinkery had such great reviews we decided to try it.

It's difficult not to compare experiences but I did try to stay open minded. Overall my children had a great time. However, I was not as impressed as I hoped to be.

My biggest complaint is that there is not a little cafe inside. We had to leave for lunch which wasted time and was inconvenient.

The infant area felt a little dirty. There weren't many toys for the little ones. There were some structures for them to crawl through but not much for them to do in that area. There is a neat little hanging cocoon that kids can crawl into but the whole underside was covered in a layer of grime.

The indoor water area was a big hit with my 4 year old. Waterproof bibs were provided but his shoes and pants were soaked. We did have a change of clothes for him so I would definitely recommend parents pack and plan in advance.

There was an area for kids to play upstairs with pool noodles and structures to crawl through. This area needed some attention. I had to sweep a hairball out of the way so my baby didn't eat it. The noodles that kids were playing with here were falling apart and felt dirty.

The kids loved it, especially the farmers market play area.

Fun for the kids. I'm still a kid so I enjoyed it as well. Tons of science based activities sneaking in learning and making it fun. Water, air, light, food, it's all crammed in there. Make sure the kids eat before you go. They have vending machines but no real food and you're going to be there a few hours. The playscape alone is going to eat up half of that. I'm not sure if adults are allowed on it so I didn't give it a go, but I wanted to. Fun for all though otherwise.

We usually go for Baby Bloomers on Monday and my toddler loves it!

I can't wait for the new museum to open. It sounds great for the older kids!

Great spot for younger kids to explore. Lots of interactive activities and things to climb on. Definitely worth a visit if you habe small kids.

It was awesome. My grandsons would like to come back. Very well designed so much to keep their attention

My son and I needed a day for ourselves and this was the best location for that. It was also super affordable when they have the 5 dollar special for Baby Bloomers. There was so many things to do. We got there at 9am and didn't leave till noon. My son had a blast! I recommend it for all kids.

Pretty cool place for kids. If you have a baby it is ok. Some parents think it's a daycare and an excuse not to watch their kids but that's not the thinkery's fault.

I love this place everytime we visit , the whole family really enjoy it!

The staff is amazing and my daughter had a great time

Such a wonderful place for young & old alike! So much to do & see. Storytime is a must!

Def not for children over like 7 years of age.....

If you got babies, perfect.

Came with my two year old son while on vacation from Houston. I was pleasantly surprised on the amount of activities they had to offer. I feel like kids of any age can find something fun to do. Parking is convenient, and I can definitely see us coming back if we are in the area again.

Great place to swing by when you re visiting Austin with little ones! Hours of educational fun and in a really great part of town - lots of restaurants and stores nearby

Since they expanded the space from the downtown location, you can't beat an afternoon here with the kids. There are plenty of free parks nearby as well as restaurants for the adults.

We are from San Antonio and our museum has a lot more activities for older children. The Thinkery seems best suited for 8 and under. It's a nice place, wish there were more things to do.

Tip: The first weekend of the month, any Bank of America debit/credit card holder gets in free. Thank you, Dominic at the front desk for that information.

My 3 and 5 year old spent hours playing and exploring here.

Great place to take kids and adults lol spent a lot of time here

Great for small kids. A plus is a big playground in the part nearby.

great location. very nice facility to spend time with your kids.

Best $24 spent - entry for 1 adult, 1 kid (kids under 2 are free). So much to see and do, we were there for over 2 hours, but didn't get to see everything. We will definitely be back.

Some features: water area, playground, grocery store, test kitchen/experiments, reading nook, light lab, engineering/math, art area - full STEAM ahead!

Go!! BEST place in Austin to take your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc.. Oodles of things to keep kids busy and most importantly, LEARNING!!

Best place for kids. Thinkers staff are amazing and lots of things for the kids to do.
