We've never been to Betty Brinn and had heard how fun it was. My son at age 8 was definitely one of the older kids there. It was cute but overrun by lots of toddlers. The activities seemed geared more to the younger children than mine, but definitely recommend this to anyone with young kids.

This is a great place to learn through play. There are learning centers for children starting at 7 months through grade school. Go early in the day to avoid crowds.

Took my niece and nephew here, they loved it. So much for them to do here. Hours and hours of fun. Plus its a learning experience. Make sure you stop here if your in Milwaukee I know you will love it

I gave my daughter a birthday party here and the kids had a excellent time. The staff was helpful. The museum is a great place for kids to explore. Check prices before booking they may have increased since last year.

Our 21-month-old toddler absolutely loved this place -- and so did my wife and I. There are endless things to do for kids (under 5-ish) in this museum. The museum itself is not that big, but considering our family was only in Milwaukee for a few days, this was the highlight of our trip. This is one of those rare moments when parents can really just sit back and relax while your child is playing. The only thing to watch out for is other kids. But the toys/displays are safe, soft, enjoyable, educational, and clever. To be honest, I think every major city needs a museum just like this one. We could have spent all day at this museum simply to wear our kid out! As for the food items available for purchase, I recommend bringing your own picnic basket and simply going downstairs to eat it at the picnic tables (which are indoor) as opposed to the very limited menu options. This is probably the best $24 my wife and I have ever spent. Bottom line: 5 out of 5 stars.

It was very crowded and our 16 month old was in danger of being overrun by some older kids who were in the toddler area. Some parents really do no supervision. The museum itself has plenty of different activities for many ages. I would recommend it to entertain a child for a couple of hours. Some of the play areas need updating.

Betty Brinn offers children young and old an experience to learn hands on about science, business, history and other subjects while doing it in an interactive and fun environment. The only downside is that it can get very busy on weekends, and getting parked can be a challenge for someone new to the area. Just shoot for the O'Donnell parking ramp.

Small enough to enjoy in a few hours, with many different exhibits and hands on activities for younger children. Great place for kids age 2 - 8. Staff are very friendly, great location on Lake Michigan with wonderful views. Priced reasonably, and areas to bring a bag lunch and eat if you are making a day of it.

If you have small kids (or grandkids) BB is a treasure. Plenty for kids to do in a safe and inviting environment. Exhibits are always interesting, approachable and entertaining plus they change frequently so every visit offers something new.

We've been to Betty Brinn's several times. The exhibits change regularly which keeps the kids entertained every time. The imaginary play stations bring local flair to the museum. It's never a disappointing experience.

and they loved it! They were 2 years old and they had a great time. Were able to enjoy every single section of the museum. It is worth the visit!

A very nice children's learning museum. Hands on displays, roomy, good activities, convenient parking, easy access, nice vista for lunch

Kids of all ages can find something fun to do. Weather its shopping or playing on the indoor play ground plus its right off the lake front so its a nice view. MY son loves it we have been 4 times now and are seriously thinking about buying a pass

I did not go to the museum, but my husband took our 3 year old, and it must have been great since our 3 year old keeps begging to go back! They offer $2 off the attached parking garage.

We went on a weekday and had a great time. This museum is terrific! We had a 3 year old and 16 month old. Both children were completely engaged the entire time. There is a wonderful variety of things to do! We've been to both of the children's museums in Chicago and this outshines them by far! We were able to park on the street directly across the street for $1.50 per hour at a meter. Although we didn't use it, there was an indoor area with tables if you want to bring your own food. Beautiful location right on the lakefront, too! 100% recommended!
