We have been members for about 2 years now and my 3 year old absolutely loves this place! There is so much for kids to do here and her favorite stations are probably the water table and grocery shopping area. She literally cries everytime we have to leave!

The first time I brought my kids in we fell in love with this place. There is so much to do. My kids could spend all day here. I currently bring my 3 year old here every Tuesday for craft/art time. She loves it! My older children, ages 5 and 8, also enjoy it here. The price is very good considering all there is to do. I have a membership for myself and my 3 year old. The staff is always friendly and helpful. It is always clean. The staff even go around throughout the day cleaning up. I highly recommend visiting here. Your children will love it!

We have a membership to Aha and love it! My kids are 8, 6, and 3. The 8 year old still loves it there, though I imagine she'll outgrow it in a year or 2. My kids especially love all the pretend play, the vet area and the construction house.

Such a fun place to take your kids to keep them busy. We have been when I was a stay at home parent and several more times just for fun on the weekend. Very good price, so much to do and explore. We love it here!

I recommend AHA! to just about every person I see with little children! It is a fun and safe environment for children to go and explore a play area with exhibits on their level. This place encourages you to explore with the child and interact with them as they go from exhibit to exhibit. Best thing for Lancaster and I can't wait for the new museum. You wont be disappointed!

My two year old son absolutely loves this place. We walk in and he wants to run right in and start playing. We have met some friends there for a playdate before and the children had a blast!

Great place for kids especially the smaller children lots of hands on learning, my son loves it here. Would give it 5 stars if the parents weren't charged to sit and watch.

My daughter LOVES this place!!! As stated in the name, AHA is a great 'hands-on,' educational, learn through play museum. Great for families, aunts, uncles, grandparents and child. Excellent place for Mom Groups to meet! AHA encourages adults to join in on the fun with interactive play. I'd say this Children's Museum is geared towards children 1-8 years old. Some Pretend-Play exhibits include: Pretend Market, Pretend Vet, and Pretend Pizza Shop. They have a fire truck w/ real sirens and a water hose to put out the pretend flames. Complete w/ firefighter overalls, jacket, boots and helmet! A sand and water table available daily (I recommend and exchange of clothes in case the kiddos get wet). Fishing dock, garden zone, craft area, and house to build. My daughters favorite is the real stage with 10 or more costumes to try on, and working microphones! If you have babies or toddlers, there is the Plop Zone. It's a padded area for 36 months and under, with climbing steps and a small slide. Admission is $5 per person for ages 6 months and older (adults also pay). Memberships are good for 1 whole year, and are very reasonable. The Individual membership includes: 1 named adult & 1 child for $50, or a family membership for $75. Visit aha4kids.org for more information.
