“Super cute museum! No food except a vending machine when I went on a sunday but it was a fun experience. My daughter and niece loved it! Great for little kids!”

“This was AMAZING!! We visited the last day of the exhibit and there was so much to look at and take in & explore. What a truly unique and awesome experience. I felt like I was truly in Wonderland and wanted to just stay there to live. All of the amazing colors and ideas and so much creativity. We were lucky enough to meet Alexa Meade as well, so was so friendly and kind. We spent two hours going through. It was so worth it. Great day with the kids, wonderful memories.”

“This was super fun for the kiddos, and Melody Yang is really wonderful in performing for them using her unique and beautiful talents. She practically made a cube bubble, and I loved when she put smoke in bubbles and then punctured them—it was really cool! The light show toward the end was unexpected, and it was totally amazing how she appeared to be manipulating the light beams, and at points it was as though she had a real-life light saber. All around it was a lot of fun. It's kid-oriented, so it's not something I'd necessarily recommend for adults together, unless it was some particular circumstance.”

“Great concept and play space. My kids really enjoyed the animals and the fun educational toys. It was also an easy ride on the bus from the upper west side. We added in lunch and a quick walk to a fantastic local playground with water to round out our afternoon.”

“It was great time with my son”

124 Raymond Ave, Poughkeepsie, NY 12604, United States

“A small (free) gallery with an interesting collection covering ancient to current time. An interesting ongoing work encourages you to add your own input. There's also currently a fun installation consisting of a pile of candy that you're encouraged to sample. Yum! If you're in the area, it's well worth a look. The grounds and Chapel are another reason to go. Free 2 hour parking for visitors.”

“This carousel is great. Over 100 years old and in beautiful condition. A ride is only $3. It's right next to the zoo. They have a cute snack bar with large water bottles for $3. It's a nice place to sit and watch the people (and horses) go by.”

6333 Jericho Turnpike, Commack, NY 11725, United States

“Great place for a Kids party. My granddaughter along with 20 friends had an active fun 11/2 hour gathering. First they worked on their figurines which when finished the staff helps spruce up if needed. Then into the party room for games, dancing, cake and drinks. All well organized, supervised, fast paced and fun for the kids. As kids leave each received their figurine.”

“We had our daughter’s first birthday party here yesterday and it was incredible. This place is ran like a well oiled machine. I read the previous reviews regarding how poorly this place was ran, however, after discussing with my friends who’ve been here, they encouraged me to book. I’m so happy I listened to people I know and not some stranger on the internet. I understand how people felt “rushed” during eating but this is a business that holds multiple parties and they need to keep things on schedule. Bailey was our party leader and she was awesome. The other 2 assistants, Chris and Kier were just as helpful. The room was set up perfectly and they made sure to keep the party moving. The 2 women at the front desk/reception area were an absolute pleasure to work with. Also, shoutout to Janine and Marissa for matching our vision. The place is clean from corner to corner. We can’t say enough good things about this place. If you’re thinking about booking your birthday party here, DO IT.”
