"Very cool place to visit! Special needs friendly. It was very busy and loud at time but my family did not get over whelmed. They were constantly cleaning. You can bring food and drinks. Bathroom was very clean. So much to do for $15. Plenty of books, arts and crafts, stem lab, jungle gym, water table, different lighting and quiet areas. Plenty of seating and elevator for wheelchairs/ strollers/wagons. Will definitely be coming back!"

"The Randall Lewis Second Store & Beyond is honestly one of the best spots to take your kids. If you’re looking for a place where they can burn off all their energy and have the time of their lives, this is it. The whole environment is fun, safe, and full of activities that keep kids engaged from the moment they walk in.
As a parent, you’ll enjoy it just as much. There’s something really special about watching your child laugh, explore, and have an amazing time — and this place delivers that every single visit. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick play session or planning a full day of fun, it’s the perfect combo of entertainment for kids and peace of mind for parents.
Highly recommend for families! 🧡👨👩👧👦🎉"

"This is a new children's museum located in Victoria Gardens and really fun for small children. The main features are the water table and crawl space, and there are several other small rooms for exploration and interactive play. The admission is a little pricey for the size of the museum, but I consider part of it as a donation to the library.
There are a good number of seats for parents and caregivers to relax. Though my photos show very few visitors, it was actually a little busy, which is understandable given the holiday week. There's not much room for a stroller to get around and no indoor cafes, so be sure to bring your own food. There's a partly underground parking structure very near the library and museum, so you won't be taking little ones home in a hot car.
We were able to see everything in about 2 hours, but my little one had so much fun with the water table that we stayed a bit longer. I'd come back again!"
