Thinkery Review

This place is great! My 10 month old absolutely loved the water area and the baby bloomers area. This place has something for babies and up!

Great place for kids of all ages to have fun and learn in parallel.

A must go for children! This place is a kiddos dream with activities for every child to enjoy. Story time was awesome and the guy who read was animated and fun. The activities change to keep the place interesting and there is a lot of learning platforms for children of all ages. I almost forgot to note, bring a change of clothing for the kiddos if deciding to go play with the water activities as they can get really wet and some may be afraid of the air dryers.

They have a lot to activities for children of all ages. Parking is great! I would recommend this place.

My son had his 5 year old Birthday Party here at the Thinkery. It was our first time attending and it was amazing! My son wanted to do both the Pig Party and the Masterpiece Party. Because of unsure how many boys and girls we chose Masterpiece Party. We did Deluxe Package. Well worth it!! They read a story that went along with the theme, a memorial wall, and a photo wall with props. They took care of everything. The staff were friendly and well attentive. There was games and painting of 2 canvases. Even us adults had a blast! Perfect for children who are 4 turning 5 and 3 year olds as well. It was awesome. With our package we even got tickets to come back again!!! Even paid for wiz class and that was incredible. All the children and parents enjoyed themselves, and the staff made it all possible. Thank you so much so worth it...people book well in advance because they sell out real quick. Something you do NOT want to miss!!! Do the cupcakes or cake with Bibery Bakery awesome, beautiful, and delicious!!! So much to do, and see and explore!! Also they were on top of everything with cleaning and all the kids played well with everyone it was great!!!

My daughter loves this place. We have been Everytime we gotta the city of Austin Texas. They know what you kids like.

Too expensive for what we experienced. Not enough for a 10 yrs old to do.

This place is beyond amazing. They change out some of the exhibits so there are new things to do. Have an awesome play ground close by to. You have to go and experience it yourself!

Went for my nephew's birthday party. My kids had a blast and my wife and I enjoyed playing with them. Great day activity or place to have a birthday for kids. Thanks thinkery staff for making it a wonderful day for my nephew.

My son and our friends children absolutely love this place ! Too many activities to list!

Fantastic indoor spot for exploration and fun. When it's nice out, their climbing scape is stellar.

Coming into today me and my family were really excited to see what the thinkery was all about. First and foremost the area there with the farmers market going on is exquisite and was the best part of the day. So we get there. Keep in mind my daughter is 15 months old. The exhibits were nice but the kids that were already there as well as the parents were very snobby. Multiple times kids that were much older than her shoving her off of items that were clearly there for everyone to share. Places like that are supposed to be about expression and kids interacting and having fun. Today didn't fit the whole purpose of what I had in mind. I don't want some snobby kid shoving my daughter because she was interested in what they were doing. Or parents openly making nasty expressions towards me and my family. I won't be back. People these days act like they own everything and have no manners

Took our 11mo and she had so much to do and look at! Got the membership so we could go weekly!

What a beautiful space, and SO much for kids to do. I especially liked that they allow you to leave for lunch and come back without having to pay again. We had a 2yo and a 5yo entertained for about 4 hours. Love the reciprocal program with other science centers, too!

The most beautiful museum for children, rich in beautiful things and valuable help to develop intelligence for our children . do not hesitate to visit .

Fun place to take the kids, although it was a little more for the younger ones, my 8 year old had less fun than my 4 year old. Plenty of hands on and interactive activities.

One of the best kids museums ive ever been to. lots to explore, its all super high quality and there are events like story time everyday plus an absolutely amazing outdoor play structure!

Great place for children! My daughter loved exploring every square inch of this place, it s very hands on!! She especially the area where she was able to create her own doll out of scraps of paper, stickers, Chinese food boxes, etc..
We love visiting every time we come visit Austin!!

It was pretty interesting... I went at a time that was a little too busy though

the kids have so much fun here. Great play equipment. loving staff

Awesome place for kids..especially younger kids. Lots of hands on.

Although the activities were incredible, my fave thing about the Thinkery was the awesome nursing room on the 2nd floor. I have 2 kids under 2, and it was just what we needed that afternoon. Both my kids enjoyed the crawler room and my toddler lived storytime. We live out of town, but we're coming back.

Great for kids of all ages, best if they're at least crawling.

Me and the wife had a blast watching our children have a blast

This is an awesome place to take your children. My son is two and he had a blast I will be coming back again soon.

Skip the Thinkery, your kids will have just as much fun across the street at the free park.

The exhibits are really interesting and I think we enjoyed it as much as the kids did!

This had a lot of interesting exhibits for those 10 yrs old and under. We spent 3 hours there with plenty to do. I would definitely go back if in town again.

What a great place for kids! Hang out, and let them play and learn.

Children loved it! Definitely heading back next time we visit Austin

Cool children's museum like the Exporatorium, Doseum, etc. with lots of interactive exhibits.

Best children's activity learning center in Austin!

My mom used to take me here (as in the old location) all the time as a kid. These are all fond memories with my young friends running around playing in the various exhibits, the colorful, plastic grocery store (which I loved), and the penny well (which they still have!). I may have even had a birthday here if I remember correctly. More recently I walked by at 2 in the morning and after my initial glance at their whimsical outside roof-sculptures had a brief drunken, morbid image of blankly-smiling children swinging around on the rooftop. Ah, life.

Wonderful experience with my 1 year old daughter.
We enjoyed everything about Thinkery.

Wonderful place to bring a child, where they really get to use their imagination and play like crazy!

Activities for children of all ages. Make sure you go there with extra clothes for the kids, as they have water activities. You are bound to spend quite a few hours, since there are so many activities. Parking is free for the first 3 hours, just take your parking ticket and have it stamped at the front desk. No food is sold here aside from two vending machines so make sure you pack a lunch. As far a membership it pays for itself within a couple visits, depending on your family size and membership package you get, but once you factor in the admittance and parking price it's more than pays for itself.

Great place to take the kids! Lots of activities! We attended a birthday party here. Some activities are more science-based some are more creative. Either way this is a great place to take the kids for several hours if not half a day.

Disappointed. Underwhelmed. Probably better for kids under 5. But for $12 admission and parking, different $50 for less than hour of activity.

My kids can spend hours here. There are alot of activities in each area to keep the children occupied.

Lots to do but a little over priced. Park in parking garage and remember to get it validated when you pay for thinkery tickets!!! A cheaper alternative would be to play at the FREE park across the street and get ice cream at Lick ice cream

Place is very well done. Nice variety and really liked how it was layed out plus the kids had a great time! Highly recommended

What a great space! I was there collaborating on some ideas for accessibility and am super impressed with their dedication and passion for kids of all abilities!

Was great fun for my six year old. He could spend all day in the ball room. Playground across the street is a bonus.

Awesome place for kids. My 3 year old son thoroughly enjoyed.

An absolute must-see place for those with kids, we had so much fun even if our toddler son was only barely beginning to realize the potential of the place

First time bringing granddaughter. She really enjoyed the kitchen/restaurant with all the dishes, play food and wire food baskets. And the chicken coop too!

My son really enjoyed this place. Many fun activities for him to figure out how to work.

Really enjoy going here with my 2-year-old. Lots of things to touch and explore, beware that kids will get wet. Early member hours two Sundays of the month make membership worth it!

Great place for children to have fun and play learning

my kids love this interactive museum. the exhibits are wonderful and my kids get a hands on art experience!

Nice place to learn new things. My kids had a great moment in there. Thanks for your attentions.

It a best place for kids to have fun. Everytime I go there with my daughter she doesn't want to go home.The have great stuff kids.

Fairly small, but fun and entertaining for our kiddos (4&2).

Great place to take the kids. Fun and educational.

Fantastic place to spend a few hours with kids. Educational, fun, inspiring. Kids will not want to leave!

Always amazing for the kids and us adults who love to tinker around.

What a great place for young, inquisitive minds. Very educational.

Wonderful place to allow your child to be a child. Awesome science toys for the children to play with.

I love science museums of all kinds, but the Thinkery is of my favourite sort: interactive science museums. They have all manner of exciting exhibits for kids (and adults) to learn nifty science things.

Add to that the fact they update the exhibits from time to time, and it becomes a great trip almost anytime. One of the coolest things they do is include science projects done by local youth whenever possible.

Plus, they have little workshops to focus on specific things for kids and families to learn and do together.

My one year old and I had a blast. She was in desperate need of a nap before we even went and she still was totally engaged and captivated. The toddler section was awesome and the giant lite brite was low enough that she got to play with it as well. She had so much fun. I just wish I got in for free and just had to pay a smaller fee for her.

Great place for the kiddo, fun for adults on the 21 and up nights

Great for younger children had a blast with great niece 14 months and her mom

Stimulus overload, but in a good way. My 4 year loves this place. A little on the pricey side, but still a great place to let the kids get creative and learn.

I love the thinkery and want to know wju google is following me

The most amazing thing for our 2 children to stimulate them at all levels and dimensions.

It is a fantastic place to share as a family has many fun and entertaining activities that help children to develop their imagination, their physical, psychological, emotional and intellectual skills also allows them to socialize with other children and interact with their family members I recommend much for those who have small children because they can play, touch and explore everything in a safe and fun way (I recommend bringing a complete change of clothes for your children including shoes as there are games with water and you will need it)

Great place for little kids to get hands on learning. Various activities to expand little minds.

We took our 4 yr old and 1.5 yr old on a Saturday morning, right when it opened at 10am and we had a great time. The current exhibit has a bunch of interactive things that you roll golf balls on which is a lot of fun. We could have spent more time there but the kids were already getting worn out and cranky after about an hour of exploring. They had a story time that we sat down at and listened. There were a few rooms that you can reserve for party's and there were some very large parties there when we went.

I love this place for my little ones(5and 7).. With Covid things are a bit different but I love it because now it's not crowded and the kids actually get a turn to try the different areas. It's clean and I just love how much fun my kids had. Well definitely go back!

WOW! We were in town on a longer cross-country trip, looking for something to do with 4 kids. This place is amazing. There are STEAM activities galore - from building your own plane with preset parts and then shooting it out of an air cannon to experimenting with light bulbs and batteries, to a water room with drums under dripping water and water cannons, to a big play kitchen (complete with real pans and utensils), to a lab experiment for different smells and lots of other stuff. This place will keep kids occupied an entire day and they won't even know they're learning at the same time. Well Done!

It's one of the most fun kids museums that we've been to. We were there for a couple of hours and could have stayed for longer. There are 2 water exhibits that both of my boys had a lot of fun with. There were a couple of exhibits around air and air pressure. Also, there wasn't a line to get in. And it's very reasonably priced
