Great place for kids. Nice and open so it's easy to keep an eye on your littles. Lots of benches for parents to use and friendly staff!

Bathroom is not sanitary, staff let kids run outside to the mall area. Staff let kids bully other kids, staff are young and rude. I wanna leave a good review but the service was horrible. I got a party room but nothing was set up. Good place to have your day ruined.

The kids really enjoy this place, but be prepared to monitor other people kids in addition to your own. Most parents are not paying attention and have their eyes firmly glued to their phones.
Des Moines Children's Museum is a non-profit with the mission to build the foundation of lifelong learning by promoting the power of play. Every Monday at the museum is Mask Up Monday. On Mondays we require masks for all visitors ages 3 and up to allow higher risk or more cautious individuals to visit the museum comfortably. Masks are optional the rest of the week, we ask that anyone unwilling or unable to wear a mask plan their visit for any day other than Monday.
