Jasmine Moran Children's Museum, Seminole

This place is so much bigger than I expected and has hours and hours of things to do. There were plenty of staff members walking around to help and clean up. There are exhibits and play area both inside and outside, as well as a large eating area to bring lunches and a kitchen that was open with a few kid-friendly food options. Our personal highlights were the castle maze, train ride, water play area, and climbing area. My recommendation is to visit when the heat is bearable... there is plenty to do outside, but limited shaded areas to play or rest. It would also be nice if some of the exhibits were upgraded and added to... several of the areas (the classroom and grocery store are two examples) seemed to be new and up-to-date 25 years ago and haven't been touched since. Even with that, though, every exhibit was fun! One thing I want to add is that our youngest left his water bottle in the museum and we weren't passing back through the area until four days later. The staff found the water bottle and kept it for us until we returned. We were very thankful for that! It shows they really care.

We brought our 2 young children because my husband has fond memories of the museum from when he was little. Our toddler hasn't stopped asking to go since we left so I'd say it was a hit. There was fun for all ages and interests so your child will definitely find something, if not everything, to do. We all had a great time and it was worth the hour drive to spend the day there. We can't wait to come back
