Anyone been to Orange County Regional History Center- taking a child there?

I don't think it is as "formal" as some museums but did not know it would be approp. to take my  2 yr old son. He is pretty well behaved but not silent. We could take turns taking him out if needed. Anyone been there recently to give some feedback.

Thanks!

I'm not a mom yet, but DH and I went a few years ago with friends and their four year-old. We didn't have any problems at all, but he was kind of well-behaved and mature for four, so that may not be a good comparison.

There's a lot of things to read at the museum, so if you have kids below reading age, I'd either be prepared to read aloud and/or explain the displays to them or if they're little enough to ride in a stroller, give them something else to entertain themselves, so they don't get bored.

Hope that helps a little!

DH and I got engaged there actually! I second everything Diane said --- i don't see why you couldn't take your DC there.... it is a lot less formal than other museums

When we went a few months ago, there were tons of kids of all ages, so I don't see any problem. It's not the kind of place where you need to be silent to enjoy it, some of the displays are even kinda loud if I remember right. Have fun!!
