Discovery Place Kids-Huntersville

We loved loved loved our visit! Since we went on a Saturday, we tried our best to arrive as close to opening as we could. I'm so glad we did! We ended up getting to play for 2 hours before it got incredibly busy.Our daughter loved the water table, crafts, the grocery store and pizza kitchen! I have worked at a children's museum before, so I have a love for them and this one exceeded expectations.I wish it wasn't so far away, but we'll be back! (It was rather expensive, and I forgot to ask if it was all day admission)

Came here to volunteer for an event. I was told that this location will be renovated in the near future. It's a great concept with free parking. I hope the renovations include more bathrooms. There were long lines of families trying to take their kids to the bathroom.

We love this place for our little one. It's so wonderful to have somewhere to go with our toddler when the weather is awful but we're going crazy being trapped inside. They are especially focused on creating areas which are fun for toddlers and infants. Older kids would do better at Discovery Place uptown, where there's more for them to do, and they won't be making all the toddler parents nervous they're going to squash their little ones by mistake.

Came here on a Saturday after hours for a kids' birthday party. I have never been and didn't really know what to expect. It's basically like a bigger version of a park for kids. They have a big play area, but the stations are more tailored to everyday things. For example, they have a grocery store, a post office, a doctors office, etc...where kids can just play and pretend to be a doctor, a cashier, firemen, etc. They have a water station, which I believe is for sensory play and a state where they do presentations and experiments. Overall, this is a great place for kids 8 and under.

We traveled from out of town to visit family and I brought my 6 and 7 year old here midweek. I was worried my 7 year old would be bored, but they both had a great time! We stayed 2 hours and the kids had a blast. They both ran around nonstop exploring and trying different things. It really is a very unique and fun place! I definitely recommend going during week and early-before it gets busy. It was clean and well organized and staff vert friendly.

Great place to go on a rainy/cold day. Even when it's busy, we still have a great time. Definitely worth getting the annual membership if you go 4 times a year.

Love this place ! My daughter has a blast there and if you have WIC you can get in for 3$ which is amazing

Read this before going! It might SAVE your child a trip to the ER or Doctors! So although this place has an awesome set up, it is VERY, I Repeat VERY dirty and is SET UP for a ER run! As you would hope and think after dealing with a deadly virus( Covid) and monkeypox going around, that this place would take more safety protocols. I brought in only one Clorox wipe and that was a mistake. I begin to wipe down the first police station phone and my eyes were blown at how black my wipe got instantly! I really got sick to my stomach because I knew I was going to regret coming here. Once my wipe was all dirty I didn't have much more of a choice. I went to the bathroom and got more disgusted. Not only is this place full of germs but there's no staff watching or to disinfect something a child may have put in their mouth (which many kids are putting fake foods). It's also $18 per person which I think is very expensive, there's no sitting chairs for parents, and the fire truck and toys makes no sound. To add to that, they stop accepting people in after 3 and close at 4 pm; so there's never a good time to go, it's always crowded. They have lazy workers and that no steps to prevent accidents. Same day later, my child is coughing and next day we take him to the doctor. He caught a virus and now I have to keep him home to watch him carefully for the next 5-10 days. If I can caution mothers and fathers with children younger than 3, avoid this place at all cost!! I couldn't imagine taking an infant here and dealing with the consequences after here.

I took my son here and he enjoyed it very much. He didn't want to leave. I got so many cute photos of him. It definitely encourages children to explore their career options, in my opinion. It depends on how you use the area to teach your child. I won't post the cool photos of my son because people are weirdos and will steal pictures of kids but I hope this review does some good for some people.

My girls love visiting different museums. We headed here to visit this museum. Parking was easy, purchasing tickets were easy and the staff was very kind. They have lots of different stations for kids to visit and do imaginative play! The price is slightly expensive but overall it was a nice experience
