Imagine Children's Museum

Daaaang this place is amazing! I had been hearing from other parents how great this spot was but frankly didn't want to make the journey to Everett. I'm so glad we finally did (and regret we haven't done it sooner). They've thought of everything. It's HUGE! With multiple levels and each experience is incredibly well thought out and detailed. Some kids will love the calm areas for building structures or putting on a play. Others will love the non stop action of the tree house ropes course. Then they can transition to a play campfire, a veterinarian clinic with an Xray machine, a water area, a cinema, upstairs playground, dinosaur dig - not enough space to name everything!!!

Food and drinks are only allowed on the top level cafeteria. Bring your own or buy from the limited selection they have (think Uncrustables, hotdogs, Mac n cheese, grab sandwiches etc). They do have drip coffee for parents but not much else.

It's expensive and depending in where you are might not be convenient but it's hands down the best kids museum / kids activity we've done in 7 years in the area. Could easily spend the whole day here! It's great!

The sprawling three-story children's museum offers a vast expanse of exploration and discovery, providing ample space for young minds to roam and engage. Each section is meticulously designed with educational and interactive exhibits, catering to a wide range of interests and learning styles. From hands-on science experiments to creative arts and crafts, the museum offers a stimulating environment that captivates kids of all ages. Parents and adults will find themselves equally enchanted by the immersive experience, whether they're joining in on the fun or simply marveling at the joy and wonder on their children's faces. With its blend of education and entertainment, this museum stands as a beacon of enrichment and enjoyment for families seeking a memorable outing.

Tree house area is the raddest - for both kids and kids at heart alike! So creative, tons of options for creative play, and staff lead activities. The Wildlife Rescue activity has the coolest interactive stations, from x-ray machine that corresponds to the specific stuffed animal on the table, to a microscope with various slides to view. There's a catch and release fishing pond with enough details alone for a game of I-Spy.

The original museum is still in tact too, so you really could spend a solid few hours here.

Outside food is only allowed on the third floor outdoor playground area. Admission was a flat $22/pp, only 12 months and younger are free, a little pricey for caretakers, in my opinion. No cafe, not very many spots for grown ups to sit and rest - makes sense, they want you to actually stay with and watch your kids.

So much fun! And they accept EBT so you'll get a super discounted admission for up to 4.
The imagination of children can run wild with so much to do! From stop-motion video the kids can play with to buses, planes, trains, veterinarian, farms, and more...the kids cannot only run wild but let their imagination go crazy! A wonderful experience and the whole family can play, too!

I'm impressed this huge museum space exists with a lot of variety of interactive exhibits. It definitely would be popular spot for rainy days to entertain any child. The roof top playground is huge and spacious which was arguably the best looking area. Weekdays are definitely the best and least crowded times. Parking is limited to barely any street parking that has time limit or a paid lot behind the building.

$22/person for anyone over 1 year old is a bit steep. If you have young toddler that barely walks, it's not worth it full price. They do offer a 50% discount though for members of Bellevue KidsQuest so that was more reasonable, although I still don't agree a younger toddler should be charged the same rate as an adult.

Such a fun place for kids and adult to learn about the Seattle area. Very interactive, fun detailed activities for kids and it was clean. They also, have a gift shop to purchase title gifts and they have an outdoor park that is connected to the upstairs. A definite go to place for a rainy day.

Imagine Children's Museum is a great place for kids to learn by free and guided play. They have huge space distributed in 3 levels with a lot of exhibits and play stations. They have something for kids at every age group.

Young kids will surely enjoy the ground floor - that's were they have more age appropriate play structures available. Second floor is more suited for bigger kids - the attractions give more scientific aspect to various machines in the real world. They have an open terrace play structure. Suited for kids from different age groups.

They have maintained this place so well. There were sanitizing stations everywhere, bathrooms are clean and the play stations are well maintained. No crowd management is there though. Sometimes kids have yo wait for a very long time to get a turn and young kids get easily irritated with that.

They charge $22 for age 1 and above. Felt that's a little too expensive. Though they have membership options, for a one time visitor, it's a little too much. And don't think you can spend more than 3-4 hrs there. That's the only negative about this place.

My goodness guys this place is absolutely incredible! We could be here for hours and hours and still not run out of things to do. On this particular day my son only wanted to do the wood workshop area and each session is only 15 minutes, so my son wanted to keep going to the class to finish his robot and the wonderful miss leah was so awesome and considerate. She held his wood that he already had been working on to the side so we could come to the class to finish and as if that wasn't enough she even helped us cut wood and make it.

She was so kind and considerate, it took our already incredible visit to the next level. Shes an absolute gem and we look forward to our next trip!

Great place for kids to explore. Lots of room to move around and touch everything. My 4 year old and 11 year old grandsons loved it. Great way to spend some hours on a gray northwest day.

I am so happy I made the drive to this amazing museum! The kids had so much fun! This place is huge and we spent the entire day exploring all the exhibits.

The museum was clean and well taken care off. Exhibits were reset regularly and cleaned.

My favorite was the giant inside treehouse with all the rope bridges and rooms to explore it was very impressive.

The food options are slim at the food court and some of the items were expired. I would suggest bringing your own food (which is allowed).
