My child had a lot of fun at the Black Earth Children's Museum! There was a lot of different themed areas for children to play in, including musical instruments, learning about space, slides, natural habitats, and climbing a rock wall. The place was relatively organized, and most kids were respectful and put their toys away when they were done playing in a certain area.The staff was very kind and friendly, but they were not the most helpful for a first time visitor. I carried my coat and bag the entire time, and it turns out the museum has a coat rack (which is awesome, now I know for next time if we choose to come back). There were also a good amount of parents who were not watching their children. There were a few kids who were unkind to my child, and it took a few tries for me to redirect or a few minutes before the parents realized what their child was doing. Most kids were very kind and inclusive, but there were a few who took away every toy my 1 year old was trying to interact with (they would walk across the room to take her things).

Visited on a rainy summer Saturday and it was busy as expected. My 5 &2 yr old kids enjoyed the engaging exhibits for about 90 minutes. Wonderful details and beautifully crafted.Feels like a good value for $6 each.But as others noted a bit more space in each exhibit would be great. Overall the space was clean and staff was welcoming- we will be back!

Lots of brain stimulating activities for the smaller building size of other children's museums in this part of Wisconsin. I would say this is probably the best out of them all. Everything feels safe for children and it's not as stressful as some of the other places. There is even a soft play area for babies that we noticed when taking our eleven month old. The constellation room is really neat for children that have never had a chance to see a planetarium. If you are stopping through Black Earth, do yourself a favor and take the kiddos here, they will sleep the rest of the drive.

This is such a neat addition to this small town! They have fantastic displays! Lots of neat projects and things to play with! My kids are 9 and 7 and they found went to keep them busy. This is a true gem! The bathrooms we're a bit dirty, but when you have that many littles in a small place..what do you expect? 👌

My 3 kids age 7,6,4 and I all had a wonderful time at the Black Earth Children’s Museum over winter break! Great membership price, as well as a great local business. The kids kept entertained and did not want to leave and I felt safer not having to keep my eye on each one of them every single minute. It’s smaller but it’s worth the trip out to Black Earth!Recommend.

So much fun for kids! Lots to do and just one level unlike Madison so your kiddos can run around much more freely. Great time!

This is a clean, quaint children's museum. It's a great size for babies and young children. My daughter (10 Months) and niece and nephew (2 and 3 years) all had a great time.

We have been here 3 times with our kiddos, and I feel like there is something new my son wants to play with each time. First it was the farm section, the time after it was the vet clinic and the trains, and this last time, we spent mostly fishing and shopping! He loves the Children's museum. My daughter (1.5), whom has low muscle tone is also able to participate in a variety of activities. The farm is her favorite, but it truly does have so much for a variety of kiddos, no matter where they are on their movement/play abilities.

Wonderful little Children’s museum! My 4yo loves it. His preschool chooses to do do a field trip here each year as well. Glad the piano got fixed! 🎶 Thanks for all you do for families who are able to come from several surrounding communities! Great birthday party room to reserve if desired.

Nice museum geared for children up through preschool age I'd say. It's nicely divided into smaller areas, farm, store/restaurant, pet vet, cave, stars, train, art, explore science, fishing, music, climbing wall, camping. Climbing structure in middle is nicely done and very nature inspired. 1 area is designated for under 18 months which is nice. The small rooms keep it from being overwhelming, helps kids focus on the exploration there.

Great place to bring the kids, and they have free wifi! The noodle wacky wetland area is a blast. You can see that there are plans to bring in more activity centers in the future.

There's a lot of experiences jam-packed into a relatively small space. Our kids, ages four and eighteen months, enjoyed exploring. The entire experience would have been made better if the museum had a little bit more space to spread out, or maybe take out a couple features to allow for a bit more continuity between displays. You can tell the whole thing was put together by people dedicated to helping kids learn and grow. The price seemed fair.

Great time for kids, especially for the price. Tons of different areas and activities. Wasn’t too crowded and everyone wore their masks! They do have a new area opening soon so we will definitely be back. Fun for really young infants, to older children!
