Consistently ranked among the best childrens museums in the country and it earns it. Kidtropolis is a whole kid-run city with a bank, a vet clinic and a grocery store where children take jobs and spend their own currency. FlowWorks is a giant water play zone, and the Invention Convention lets kids build and test contraptions with real materials. There is a separate Tot Spot for the under-threes. Thursday evenings are free family nights and they get very busy, so weigh crowds against cost.

The Health Museum

A museum about the human body that is much less clinical than it sounds. The Amazing Body Pavilion walks you through a giant heart, a set of oversized organs, and a brain you can climb into, with sound and light effects the whole way. Kids see real preserved specimens, test their balance and reflexes, and try out surgical tools in a simulated operating room. It is smaller than the natural science museum across the park, which makes it a good second stop or a lower-stakes option with younger kids. Sits right in the Museum District so it pairs well with the childrens museum.
