I recently had the pleasure of visiting Thinkery, Austin's renowned children's museum, and I must say it exceeded all expectations. From the moment we stepped through the doors, the friendly, patient, and helpful staff made us feel welcome. Their assistance in finding and applying our membership from Port Discovery in Baltimore, ensuring we received the 50% off discount, was truly exceptional.
One of the first things that struck me was the cleanliness of the museum. Thinkery takes pride in maintaining a pristine environment for families to enjoy. Additionally, the convenience of parking validation made our visit stress-free and hassle-free.
The museum spans across two stories, offering an abundance of engaging activities for children of all ages. My son, who was 20 months old at the time, particularly loved the interactive reading time, where they not only read captivating stories but also sang delightful songs. It was a beautiful experience that left a lasting impression.
Now, let's talk pricing. Thinkery offers reasonable admission fees, with children aged 0-23 months enjoying free entry and children aged 24 months and above priced at $14. Considering the wealth of activities and exhibits available, I believe the price is definitely worth it.
Please note that while Thinkery does not sell food or drinks on-site, you are allowed to bring water or closed drinks with you. The staff will stamp your hand, enabling you to go in and out of the museum as needed.
Additionally, Thinkery provides a convenient locker area for storing personal belongings. The pricing for locker rental can be obtained from the staff upon arrival, allowing you to securely store your items while exploring the museum.
As a pregnant lady, I was thrilled to discover that Thinkery is equipped with elevators and stroller parking throughout the facility. This made navigating the museum a breeze, and there were ample seating areas where I could rest and take a break. It's evident that Thinkery prioritizes the comfort and convenience of all visitors.
In conclusion, if you find yourself in Austin, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to Thinkery. The friendly staff, clean facilities, diverse exhibits, and added perks like parking validation and stroller parking make it an ideal destination for families. Whether you're seeking an educational adventure or simply a day of fun-filled exploration, Thinkery is sure to leave you impressed. Your son's experience speaks volumes - napping all the way from Austin to Houston after a day of exciting fun at Thinkery shows just how much it wore him out in the best possible way! Don't miss out on this gem of a children's museum!
