AHA! Hands-On Adventure Children's Museum

I can't believe we've been wasting our time at Cosi lol, this is so much more spacious and my 2 year old can literally touch every thing. Everyone was so nice as well, both patrons and staff. I'm also glad they make you keep your shoes on unlike momiland which smells like feet. I love how clean everything was as well. We drove 40 minutes and we will be back! I wonder if they have memberships?? I have never seen her so upset to leave somewhere before. I love that the water table was her height level too, at cosi the kids her age have to stand on stools which isn't very safe for the kids or relaxing for mom.

An inexpensive play area for kiddos, especially perfect for a rainy day! A lot of different themed areas in one space makes it easy to let kids play from one area to the next and still keep an eye on them. They occasionally have scheduled craft events, although when we came today it was suppose to be making confetti pops at 10a. Instead, the worker doing the confetti pop craft arrived almost 2hrs after the scheduled time, which was a bit of a disappointment because we drove from Columbus to arrive on time for the craft. (there was still a lot of prep work needed to be done before the craft started and I had an little girl with me who was super excited for making confetti pops)Overall it was a great day for imagination play and to get some energy out! Just a bit disappointing the schedule couldn't be kept for events.

I've been to Aha several times with my toddler, and it's fantastic! Well worth the drive out. There's lots of activity areas for the kids to choose from. Examples include a little grocery store, a doctor's office, a fire truck, a construction crane, etc. There's also a water activity table, and a nice outdoor area with slides, a sand pit, and some outdoor toys. In the summer they have tricycles and toddler bikes available to borrow in the outdoor area, too.

COSI too far? Too expensive? Just need a safe place for your kiddo to play indoors and stretch their legs and imaginations? This is for you!This place is essentially like the kids space at COSI. Different areas for them to play and get creative. Dress up, read, sing on the little stage, climb on the construction equipment, pretend to grocery shop, play on the splash table and build a pipe line for the water to travel through, and much more. My sister and I took our little ones here on a rainy day, and they definitely enjoyed themselves. We (unfortunately) went on a day when a HUGE daycare or playgroup was also visiting, so about 15 mins after arriving, this swarm of over 50 adults and kids came in and it just got insane. I overheard another mom say that she's never seen so many people in there, so it reassured me that it's not always like this.This place isn't super fancy, and I did wonder about their sanitation procedures because I didn't see any buckets or bins for toys to go in if a kid had put it in their mouth. My LO being under a year, and my nephew being 18 months, you know everything goes in the mouth. They had a little "plop zone" which is the sacred safe space for babies under 2 to not get trampled. My daughter liked it, and liked chewing every toy, which takes me back to the germs... Butbi tried to let it go. The one thing I truly disliked about this place is that you have to pay to get in, even as an adult. $8 for me to supervise my own kid? Okay... Luckily my daughter was free because she was under 1, but I thought it was kind of ridiculous that adults have to pay for their child and themselves. It would make me think twice about coming here regularly once she's over 12 months because I don't think $16 is worth it. As of right now, all she can do is sit in the little baby plop zone. So if you really need something to do on a rainy day, definitely come here. It's safe and the kids for sure have fun. But if it's not a rainy day or you have a lot of kiddos, weigh out all your options, lol.

Nothing was what I was told it was gonna be and right after I had paid and told the manager I'd like a refund she said well what do you expect and got the snottiest attitude with me. 10/10 would never dream of recommending anyone here and I have kids of friends in town and in the area.

This place is a fun little place that you can take kiddos to have a good time. They have several "exhibits" including a Water play area that even has a place that you can sit babies in and they can play with the water without making too big of a mess. The "plop zone" is a safe place to put babies that can crawl and have a nice "tummy-time". My 4yo enjoyed the sand and dinosaur zones as well. The outside play area has a sand pit area and a track to ride bikes (provided) around. You DO have to pay for adults and children alike... but it's not a large amount and well worth the money that is needed to pay employees, along with updating and maintaining the play area. The staff is also nice as well. I will be returning... And also looking into the $100 year membership.

Really not a bad place but it's the little things that keep me away from here. The biggest downfall of this place is that they charge you to enter and watch your own children. It's not like the zoo where I am also going to enjoy the animals and activities. It's specifically a kids play place so why do they charge parents to enter? Additionally they charge different prices for different incomes to enter. Why not just charge everyone the same price and only charge them for the kids?!? Does not make sense. Pros - It's clean and there are some fun activities for cold days. Cons - Cost and it's current location is segmented with large activities that limit visibility. I recommend Jolly Hoppers or Northwest Branch Library for a Lancaster kids activity.

We love the children's museum! There is so much to do, including but not limited to a pretend grocery shopping area, pizzeria, bank, gardening area, construction site, stage with a dress up area, water table, play dough area, craft area, pretend fishing, legos, vet station, and an amazing outside play area. They also have a room with tables for a packed from home lunch or snack. I LOVE that you can bring your own food! My kids never want to leave when we go, my youngest (4) could stay all day. The only thing that i don't like is that adults also have to pay the admission fee. Typically at places like this the adults are free, but that doesn't stop us from going. I live in columbus and think that it is worth the drive. I highly recommend checking it out! There is usually a groupon available to.

We had my daughters 2nd birthday here and it was an absolute blast! The staff were so kind and helpful. The facility was clean and well taken care of. Their party room was perfect for 30 people. It's a wonderful place for exploration and play for kids!

This place was a major rip-off. They charged two adults and one 5-year old $24 even though the main attraction (water table) was broken and closed. I wouldn't recommend this place for a child 4 and over.
