Worth the trip for out of towners like us! My 7 year old and 4 year old loved it. Be sure to by tickets for carousel at entrance desk so you don't have to run back for them later.
Great place but I think it was not very nice of the museum to put a $2 per child carousel smack in the middle of everything. That was ALL my 3.5 year old wanted to do and it caused problems.
great place to take a child you are babysitting or your niece nephew or little sibling. Fun for the caretaker too! but they do charge an entrance fee, but I believe its less than 10 dollars!
