Review for Childrens Museum of the Upstate Inc, Greenville, SC, USA
My family visits The Children's Museum of the Upstate on a frequent basis, including not just visiting the museum but also attending museum events. I own a website that offers event news and reviews about our area, so we have visited several other museum including science centers and children's museums in nearby cities. (Note: I do partner with the museum on a business level, but this review is my personal opinion).
I'm impressed by the size of TCMU and the variety of exhibits. The museum is well-maintained and kept clean throughout the day. The exhibits are educational but also encourage open free play. Even though we visit frequently, my children are never bored of visiting and always request to go back.
The classes and programs that we have attended are also well-run and fun for the kids. We attended a homeschool day that included 5 hands-on science classes for my kids. All the classes were interesting and well-taught. I was really thankful to have this resource as science can be a difficult subject to teach at home. Plus, we enjoyed meeting other families.
There is a nursing room and changing tables in the bathroom. It's also really easy to roll a stroller through. My kids are currently 3 and 6.
