EarlyWorks Children's Museum

We had a fun experience! I would say it’s on the pricier side of museums, but not expensive. We could have stayed all day and they allow you a lunch break. We had four kids with us ages 1-5 years old. They all loved it and had something to do! I loved how all the kids would quickly play together no matter the age difference! To top it off, there are lots of learning opportunities!

We came to Huntsville for a visit and this was one of the places we stopped by to entertain the kids. So glad we did! They loved it. Tickets were very reasonable as well, kids 2 and under are free. Lots of activities for everyone, even adults. They also had story times in the gift shop. Stroller friendly, and lots of seating areas. Bathrooms were clean and employees were friendly. Would take them back if we’re in the area again!

Lots to do for small children. Lots of different play areas with hands on activities. I think it is worth what they charge to get in. Kept the 2 yr old we brought very busy for the 2 hours we spent there.

Our family enjoyed the EarlyWorks Children's Museum so much that we signed up for a year membership after our first visit! I love the atmosphere of this museum that gives children the freedom to explore in so many ways, activating their mind, senses, and emotions, while also relieving some of that pent up energy! No need to be "museum quiet" as children are encouraged to ask questions and talk with one another while enjoying each section and exhibit. The museum is the perfect size, small enough not to get lost but big enough to not get bored with all there is to offer. There are static exhibits and ones that change over the year. There are eating areas, bathrooms with changing areas, areas to sit and relax, and lots of walking pathways. There is something for everyone, from crawling babies to school aged children. Even the adults feel the freedom to be a "kid again" as they help their children build, experiment, and create. I highly recommend checking this museum out, rain or shine, you will enjoy it!

I visited EarlyWorks today for the first time. I was there with my two young niece's. It's a wonderful museum, full of Alabama history and fun activities for children of all ages to do. They have a story time and a lab time for the children to participate in as well. I'm not sure if it's a daily thing, but even if it's not it's totally worth going. It's also a place you'd want to visit more than once.

I take my grandchildren (4, 6 & 11) there about twice a year. They really enjoy it. So many things to explore and interact with. A lot of educational content presented in a fun way. They also have special events like this weekend was a Star Wars invasion the kids really enjoyed. Highly recommend.

Pros: - Tons to do! Could easily spend hours here. - I have a 2 and 4 year old and it was perfect for that range. - lots of fun and thoughtful Christmas activities! Cons: - Although I’m sure everything was clean and well cared for, because it’s dated, I was anxious most of the trip. I don’t need everything to be new, but I was definitely overwhelmed with the amount of old toys. I was so uncomfortable when my four year old picked up multiple very old stuffed animals. The talking tree was peeling from where tons of kids had touched him and wasn’t sure he was safe to touch. The building is also very dated, and made made me wonder about health and safety. In one room alone I could see 3 different carpet/floor patterns and that felt unsafe. On the whole for such a modern and fast growing city, I was disappointed that the kid’s museum wasn’t more updated. Pairing down on the offering, focusing on safety and clarity of vision, and even better lighting choices could go a long way..

It’s a nice museum. Because it’s not very big you can be done and see everything in 2-3h. They have a farm which was recently updated, storytelling tree, animals, color the walls room, a store, tinker lab, a pirate ship, and more. They are Decorating for Halloween. We go there often. 3stars only because the size of the museum. I have been in Indianapolis children’s museum and that’s number one in states and can’t compare.
