loved by local families
“Imagine all the activities you wished you had time & energy (and the supplies on hand) to set up for your kids- all in one place.”
“The whole set up was so dreamy and as a parent I loved how easy and wholesome the activities were. My kids would’ve stayed all day if they could!”
“A fun, relaxing morning with my 2.5yo son. He had a great time. We stayed for 90 minutes, but he happily would have shut the place down if I didn’t drag him away for other plans.”
“It was the perfect balance of play and learning. We’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend The Garden Museum to other families!”
“My 3 kiddos age 3, 6, and 8 had a great time at this event. There was enough to keep them exploring for the whole 2 hour time period. They were creative and self directed with the stations and I thought it was very well done.”
