Visitor Information

Description:

At this kid-powered museum with three floors of exhibits, children of all ages—though mostly ages 2 to 10—can cross the Nile to explore ancient Egypt, crawl through a kitchen drain to solve a mystery in Miss Perception's Mystery House, and climb the three-story-high Kidworks. Walt Disney Company Imagineers designed most of the exhibits. There's also a collection of high-tech toys which enable children to compose music, shoot videos, and produce their own cartoons. Story times for toddlers are offered Tuesday through Friday at 11:30am; Saturday at 11am, noon, and 1pm; and Sunday at 3:30pm.
