Mid-Hudson Discovery Museum, Poughkeepsie

It’s a small but entertaining place for little kids (I would say especially for 7 and under age group). Any older may be bored pretty quickly. The 1st floor had a play town set up on one side (fire truck, kitchen area, grocery store area and mechanics area). The the other side had a indoor playground and large wooden train track set-up, the best thing my kids enjoyed for quite some time were these air tunnels where you funnel small colored handkerchiefs through. The 2nd floor, was definitely for the slightly older kids with all the cool science stations and a larger area for exploring and hands on activities. All area seemed to be working and clean and sorted nicely. There was no food/cafe but they had vending machines and an area to sit and eat if you bring your own. It was a little pricey for what it is but all in all my kids enjoyed it! We stayed about 2-3 hrs.

Came here during a weekday for my birthday as a fun mom-son day date and it was super cute! Very happy they participate in the museums for all program also! A few of the exhibits were broken but my son had a wonderful time! We will definitely visit again! It was a bit crowded for a weekday, but still a lot of fun!
