children's museum of new hampshire

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely and detailed review of what visitors will find at our museum. Our staff takes pride in offering excellent customer service and creating an environment that's as much fun for kids as it is for adults. We get a lot of compliments on how clean the museum is and we work hard at maintaining all of our facilities. So happy you purchased an annual membership pass - it's really the best deal around. Now you can come whenever you want, even on our special event days, and just show your card for admission. We hope to see you and your nephew again soon! Best regards - Heidi Duncanson, Communications Director

Thank you for posting a 5-star rating! Our staff works hard to design engaging exhibits and activities for a variety of ages, and we appreciate your positive feedback.

We're sorry you had a disappointing visit to our museum. When we expanded and moved to Dover 6 years ago, we did make changes to the exhibits and layout. Our toddler area was designed by our educators to focus on sensory experiences like sight, sound and touch, as well as fine motor and gross motor skill development. We did not put any specific science-based activities there because families are free to explore the whole museum and try out any of the activities they choose. It sounds like you may have visited on one of the busy summer days, when exhibits are more likely to get jammed or broken. Our exhibits manager is frequently out on the floor to fix things but some exhibits can't safely be taken apart and repaired while we're open to the public. We're sorry these factors made it an unsatisfactory visit for you.

Thank you for sharing such a detailed review - so helpful for potential visitors to know how easy it is to reach us via the Downeaster.

Thanks for posting your review. We're glad your grandchildren enjoyed the visit so much!

We appreciate your 5-star review and hope to see you again soon!

Thank you for taking the time to post this review, Tim, and we appreciate the recommendation to visit our neighbors at La Festa Pizzeria as well. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Thanks for taking the time to post this review of our museum. The spring is our busiest time for school field trips so we welcome people to call us ahead of time to see if a large group is scheduled. Most groups come between 10 am and 1 pm, then have to leave to go back to school, so afternoons are almost always quieter. We hope you'll be back again.

Thanks for the 5-star review, Jeanne! Many public libraries within a 1-2 hour radius have passes that offer half-price admission, so it's definitely worth checking with your library ahead of time. There are currently 65 libraries in NH, MA and ME that have our passes!

Thanks for sharing your review. Many libraries do have passes to visit the museum, but the program offers half-price rather than free admission. It's still a great savings over the $9 regular rate.

Thanks for your review, Frank - you covered so many of visitors' favorite areas to play and explore! And yes, we do have a new Orange Leaf frozen yogurt up the street. The other nearby restaurants and shops make Dover a great destination for a family day trip.
