Read more about this location
Kids Square Children's Museum inside Center in the Square blends pretend play, STEAM-style learning, sensory-friendly elements, and gross-motor fun in a way that works well for both toddlers and school-age siblings. Instead of centering on one giant structure, the museum spreads play across themed zones such as a miniature town, building areas, sensory spaces, and active-play environments. It's a strong rainy-day choice for families who want hands-on variety, downtown convenience, and birthday packages that scale beyond a small private room.
