Loved the Grown Up Night of Play event! Great opportunity to mingle with other adults, see all that Explore and More has to offer, and enjoy some delicious food and beverages from local businesses. What a great time!

A very fun place to spend the day. Our kids really enjoyed it and it is filled with exciting experiences. The admission fee is reasonable and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Really amazing what a haven this place is – not just for kids, but parents too. Always great to get out and play in such a clean and climate controlled museum like this. More like a science center than a museum. We love it! Membership is well worth it.

Explore & More is excellent for young children! If you live in the area spring for the season pass and go as much as you would like. This children's museum is well thought out with bathrooms accessible on each floor, quiet rooms for nursing or children with sensory needs, and you can even check out sensory backpacks at the front desk. Lots of fun and interactive exhibits. You could certainly spend a day on each floor. They have 3 floors with exhibits and 1 for the cafe & party room. Looks like they are adding even more each day. Staff were friendly and keep the place clean. It was also great too see the local Buffalo partners who helped sponsor the museum such as delta Sonic, West herr Auto, Wegmans, and many more. If you haven't already stop in and check them out!

We've been going to this place for 2 years now. It's perfect for ages under 12. The first floor is car wash make playmate kitchen, and fix your car station. Second floor is a mock clinic, race car, train.. third floor has a farm treehouse and outside is gorgeous with balance tricycles. Once again it's a wonderful place to visit if you have young kids. We can easily spend hours here. Especially now with the cafeteria being accessible to outside food. Makes it very economical place for large families

So great for kiddos! With tickets at only $11, I can say that I went in skeptical that it would live up to the hype. I was pleasantly surprised, and would recommend this place for anyone 7 and under. An older kiddo might have a good time if they have younger siblings to play with, but the activities are definitely aimed more toward “imagination and pretend.”We spent a good 2 hours here going up all of the floors, and with food accessible on the ground floor, this place is a slam dunk. Plenty of seating for parents, and lots of opportunities to get involved and play with your child. Glad to have a place like this here in Buffalo!

Visited on a rainy Saturday with my 8 and 11 year olds. My 11 year old saw everything he wanted to see in about a half hour (no fault of the museum, he's at that age!). My 8 year old was interested in many more exhibits, however, it did seem like many of them had more of a preschool-age target audience.Also, the website said there was still limited capacity, but it was PACKED. The amount of toddlers and strollers made it really hard to navigate around the different spaces.I think there were a lot of great areas and I love the play based setting that incorporated STEM concepts and children's literature. For me, I'd say this place is best for ages 4-8 and you need to bring lots of patience for many little ones!

We were visiting Buffalo and had a group of 9 kids ranging in ages from 1-12. They all had a blast here! There was a great mix of activities: fine motor, gross motor, art, pretend play, experiential. We especially liked the car wash and making parachutes in the tinker room.The treehouse is a fun play area, and the kids had a blast on the merry-go-round and racing through the obstacle lanes.My friend commented that the café was a kid’s dream- they offer pizza, chips, go-gurt, juice boxes, lunchables, fruit snacks, uncrustables, and candy. We sampled it all and enjoyed the fare.Staff was friendly and fun. Several of them stopped their tasks to play with the kids, and it made the kids feel special. If we lived here, we would definitely become members. This place has a lot to offer!

Good children’s museum ideal for kids ages 2 to 8. My only issue was the lack of seating for parents at most exhibits. There is ample room but it’s just empty walls.
