Exceeded our expectations. We spent the whole day, 6+hrs and could have used more time. If we lived closer we would buy a membership, there are so many interactive displays where you have options to …Full review by gary K

Will young children enjoy this museum? I have children aged 5, 7, 9, 12 and 13. (Older ones too, but these are the ones I'm concerned with)

Can you do this with kids? I am looking on their website and here at the reviews. I'm thinking I may pass when we do our summer road trip this year. It looks amazing, but it Just doesnt look kid friendly. The Lucy/ Desi Museum seems better for kids. What do you guys think?

The Comedy Center is Hi-Tech, and interactive, the stuff kids would love. The Blue Room (adult humor) is off limits to the little ones, so no fear there. We did all the Lucy stuff, even though its kid friendly, it is not what kids would be interested in, it would be difficult to find a kid who knows who Lucy is! It really isn't that entertaining for adults. Small and very limited. We went because the tickets covered it. Sadly, nothing memorable there. Kids would be bored senseless.
