Kid Time! Discovery Experience

Wonderful place for children to explore. They have many different hands-​on exhibits. The area is made to imitate a working town… Complete with a grocery store, pizza place, credit union, work zone, fish market, sea boat, and much more. My three-​year-​old absolutely loved pretending to be a cashier at the pizza place. It is a lovely kids place in the heart of downtown.

This is a great place for little kids up to about first or second grade. Located in the old historical society building, your kiddos can play for hours in the various areas.
Downstairs there’s an «old time» setup with a general store, old fashioned bank, farmhouse kitchen, barn, chicken coop and vegetable patch. There are costumes, props, and everything needed to play frontier. Across that space is a modern grocery store complete with mini shopping carts and checkout lanes. It’s next to a bank with a small slide where the tellers can pass money to the grocery store shoppers. Beside the market is a room with a boat and seafront activities (fish market, etc) and next to that is a sandwich shop/​pizzeria with tables. The first room is completed with a large stage, puppets and costumes. Behind the stage is another room with more frontier/​outdoor activities (log cabin, old school room setup, etc) and the toddler area.
Upstairs you will find train tables, construction site, and small climbing walls. The art room and party rooms are upstairs, too, along with some dark rooms.
Overall, the kids adore coming here. If there are younger kids then the older ones will still have fun, but about 9 or 10 year olds get bored.
Like any hands-​on activity center/​museum some exhibits don’t work, are missing parts or show they’ve been very well-​loved. But you know, the kids never even notice! For the two or three hours that the kids are occupied and for all the rich opportunity to place and explore it’s well worth the time and money. The staff has always been very nice and helpful and if the place can be a little shabby in spots it never diminishes the fun the kids have. If you’re looking for a nice indoor, stimulating fun time then this is a great bet for you.

Great place to bring kids aged preschool through kindergarten. Really allows kids to play and encourages imagination and creative play. There is also a Giant connect four game that my older kids loved.

Amazing place for kids of all ages! Kid Time has so much to do that will engage kids for hours. I take my son there at least once a week and he’s never happy when it’s time to leave :) The facility is kept clean, kid-​safe and well maintained. I highly recommend the membership, because when you go once you’ll want to return again and again. A great educational/​play activity for any child.

A great place to take your kids from baby to age 12. A place to use your imagination, all kinds of wonderful fun themes.

This place was awesome! So much to do — my two year old had no idea what to do first. They even had a 0 – 3 section so our 9 month old could have some fun too! We will defiantly be back. The exhibits are fun, clean, entertaining and educational! Dinosaurs, construction, camping, gardening, performing, gold mining, food market… so many neat hands on exhibits. :-)

Great place for kids! Lots of different activities and things to do. I love the staff, they are super friendly. I’ve been bringing my now four year old here since he was around nine months old and he has a blast every time. No matter how many hours we spend here, he is never ready to leave! Memberships are a good deal and they also have scholarships available.

This place is perfect for kids! Don’t know why it doesn’t have a higher rating, but the staff is friendly and there is so much your kids can do here. Have some fun and visit!!!

I really feel this place needs more stars than current ratings. This is one of easy outgoing spot for families[toddlers specifically 1 – 6 age] who are visiting crater lake from around this area. This store is located in downtown and has plenty of eating options all around.
This museum has mini grocery store, pizza store, boat with fishing net, construction zone, puppet shows, arts and crafts. These activities can keep kids busy for 2 – 3 hours while parents can relax down on benches.
One time admission is $ 8 for kid and $ 4 for adult which sounds reasonable. After a road trip to crater lake, I visited this museum on next day for relaxing which worked well. A very causal outings do magic trick after the adventurous ones !!

Lots of space and activities for little one to experience. I would recommend for kids 7 and under. I loved the historical activities that were available for kids to play with. My biggest complaint was with the staff. No interaction with the kids and most areas needed fixing up. On our way out when I stopped to ask a question the employee had her feet up on the counter and was texting on her phone.

Big space, but many of the activities were closed or not working. That was disappointing. My 4 year old had an ok time, but the 8 year old was bored. We were there for an hour at most, which worked out to be a waste of money. I think it is a great idea, but more interactive activities would be a great addition.

Decent. Big open space. Lots of stations/​areas. Lots of places to go. Not super clean and rather disorganized. Broken stuff in most areas. They were also very rude when I came in (no greeting, let me stand there for a while as three employees ignored me). It’s fine, bu I’ve been to many better (cleaner, more functional, less broken stuff) versions of the same idea.

This place is awesome. Many exhibits and things to do. A small store, puppet shows, arts and crafts, and much more. The membership is the way to go. The kids can spend hours here and not get into trouble!

Great place to bring the kids, lots for them to do. Hands on play, mini grocery store, indoor and outdoor play ground. Big place with plenty of sitting room for the parents.
