Explore & More - The Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Children's Museum

Great museum for kids, especially younger children. Great ideas and concepts but some of the exhibits need some work and attention. A great place to spend a few hours!

What a wonderful gem in Downtown Buffalo! There is a lot to do and everything is clean, educational and fun! Great opportunity for kids to learn about the local history and to engage in some STEM-focused learning. Will definitely be back on our next trip to Buffalo.

This is a nice new play space for children. Every area is spacious enough for several kids to interact with the items displayed.
I would change the way the children enter the water area...maybe a walk through so kids aren't splashing water everywhere.
The terrace was not open...kind of disappointing.
I wish the hours were a bit longer.

LOVED IT HERE! I went with my husband and 2 daughters (ages 2 and 4). We went during preview week and so not ALL of the exhibitions were completely up and running yet however, most were. There were 4 floors of exhibits, each one, more amazing than the next. There was so much to see, do, talk about, learn about, read, play with, color, etc... Because we got there late, we kind of had to rush through and focus only on the areas my kids absolutely loved in order to see everything before they closed. I cannot wait to go back again when we have more time and can actually spend time enjoying each and every part of it! The girls did have a few favorites that I'll mention... 1.) The hospital area (probably one of my favorites as well ????) I can't even describe the cuteness.... I'll share some pictures but just watching the kids take care of their sick little teddy bears in a hospital like setting, so adorable! #2) The farmers market (4th floor, I believe), the kids got to "pick their own vegetables" "milk a cow" "play with chickens, chicks, eggs and their chicken coop (all pretend of course) and then take their food "home" and prepare it in their kitchen! It was really neat. My big kid (aka my husband) loved the sock rink where you could skate around in your socks ???? There is just way too much cool stuff to mention so I'll leave it at that. It really is something that everyone should see (and will love!) and there is something there for everyone to enjoy, you won't be disappointed!

I took my daughter for the first time and we had a blast! Awesome atmosphere and very friendly staff. So many activities and things to see. Definitely going back soon.
