The Children's Museum of La Crosse is an amazing place. I have great memories of coming here as a kid, and now it's really special being able to bring my own children to enjoy it. There are so many fun, hands-on activities that keep them entertained while letting them learn and explore. It's a wonderful place for families, and it's one of those places that creates memories that last a lifetime. We always have a great time whenever we visit.

Really fun place for families. As soon as you walk in, it feels bright, welcoming, and full of energy. The front desk staff are awesome. They are super friendly and helpful, and they make checking in easy. They answer questions and help you figure out where to go, which makes the whole visit start off great. The museum has lots of hands on activities for kids. Instead of just looking at things, kids can play, build, and explore. There are different areas like pretend play, science, and art, so there’s something for everyone. My children also loved the new plane exhibit. Everything is clean and easy to get around, which makes it nice for parents too. There are also places to sit while the kids play. I would definitely recommend!

We’re originally from Fort Worth, TX & live currently in the Twin Cities. We have been to several children museums across the country and this is definitely one of the best ones.

Always love coming here when we visit! Went on a weekday and wasnt busy at all. Maybe 4 other families... kids were still in school so might be why it wasn't busy. Great prices. 3 levels. The water feature is always a hit. So many rooms and areas and interactive things for the kiddos to do, but not over stimulating. Will return!
