Right next to my work. We have a membership (any 2 adults with all kids in the family for $70 a year...a steal!) I use it occasionally. Way more when the weather is bad. We didn't go as much last year, mostly because of the baby's naps. This year, I think we will go far more often. It's not super extensive, but it's definitely a change of pace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606603 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 17:08:16 +0000 Andrea 2606603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do, but my kids have kinda aged out. We travel further to go to a science museum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606455 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 14:52:14 +0000 jape14 2606455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is about a 20-minute walk away (or a very short drive). We usually go as a family about 1-2 times a month (more if we don't have weekend activities like swim lessons or a vacation). We like to go on Sunday mornings when it's not as a crowded. Our nanny takes DS there pretty frequently, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606450 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 14:48:51 +0000 MrsRcCar 2606450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes it's about 20 minutes away. I need to renew our membership. It's just not in the budget right now! The boys love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606449 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 14:47:25 +0000 sapphire 2606449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a lot of great indoor kids museums and indoor play places- I think our rainy weather dictates this! We don't go much in the summer - too many parks and beaches and trails to explore. But we'll be back in the Fall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606293 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 13:34:03 +0000 psw27 2606293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is about a 15 minute walk and we have a membership. We mostly go in the winter, when the walls start closing in and we are a little stir crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606286 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 13:29:31 +0000 Corduroy 2606286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have five play places within 25 minutes or so and a zoo 10 minutes away. Today I'm having a girls' day with DD. We got out the door at 7am to try to beat traffic to the closest kids' museum. It's our first time and she's loving it. I'm just bummed we have to leave soon to avoid too much traffic on the way home. Without traffic it's an hour and fifteen minutes. With traffic it would be about 2.5 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606285 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 13:28:48 +0000 littlebug 2606285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a few, but we rarely go. We both work full time, and they're so darn crowded on weekends! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606277 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 13:24:47 +0000 lamariniere 2606277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one nearby but it's cheap, so no need to get a membership. That said, you have to reserve a spot, and it's highly competitive to reserve, so we pretty much never go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606261 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 13:12:51 +0000 rattles 2606261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one downtown and go a few times a year. I get free passes from my MOMS club. Right now one kid is the prime age for the tot spot, but the other is too old. I think we'll go again more next year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606251 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 13:09:06 +0000 twodoghouse 2606251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have a new children's museum in our town run by the park district. We have a membership and went a lot last winter on the weekends when it was cold outside. Right now I can't manage both kids by myself there (they gravitate toward opposite ends of the place, of course), so we can only go when DH is available to go with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606182 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 12:24:04 +0000 looch 2606182@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes in town. This is the first year we don't have a membership, we just didn't go enough as the majority of the exhibits aren't changing and my son is aging out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606178 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 12:22:06 +0000 sandy 2606178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - one about 15 minutes away that is also across the street from DH's office. We don't go that often bc it's pretty small and there's so much other stuff to do. </p> <p>We go to the bigger children's museums more frequently. We go to the Seattle one all the time on the weekend and another big one an hour south of us. We also go to a big one an hour north of us a few times a year too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606151 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 12:03:34 +0000 snowjewelz 2606151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes; about 20 min away. We go about once a month with pass from the library. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606108 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 11:19:30 +0000 yoursilverlining 2606108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes; we have a great one about 20 minutes away. We never go.</p> <p>If I SAH I would definitely go more often, but with only the weekends available, other things always end up coming up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-kids-museum-nearby#post-2606090 Thu, 18 Aug 2016 11:15:00 +0000 mediagirl 2606090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you go very often? </p> <p>We bought a membership to our local kids museum this year and just haven't use it like I thought we would. We have too many things going on this year, we haven't done many fun weekend day things like we used to.</p> <p>Do you have a kids museum nearby? Do you go often? </p>
