What age is too old for please touch?

jpfeifer

9 yo nephew and 5yo niece.  Will the please touch cover both or is it too young for the 9yo?

he may be borderline, there is one section that is pretty cool when you enter to the left, and the train exhibit is neat but otherwise I think the rest is too young. Unless he likes "helping" with his sister while she plays. I would do the Frankllin Institute or aquarium instead with those ages

I took my cousins at that age, the older one really enjoyed it even though it was a little young to her, but she seemed to enjoy it. I don't think she cares to go back.

Borderline. Originally it was designed for 7 and under. But big kids seen to like it enough. The Franklin is probably better for the ages.

I don't think a 9 year old would enjoy...I agree with others who have suggested the Franklin Institute or Adventure Aquarium.

Butting in with a question - at what age is a good time for a first visit?  Obv I'm not thinking of taking my almost 3-month old now...but would she be too young this coming summer (9-12 months)?

probably, I wouldn't suggest it until she is a stable walker

I might suggest waiting even longer unless you buy a membership. M still only likes doing small sections and can get easily overwhelmed. I get in for free because of museum worker stuff otherwise I would think the cost is a waste.

This. We took Ava around 14 months or so. She was completely walking which I would say is a definite for there but she was still too small to really enjoy it. However, now I think is an ideal age and can't wait to take her this winter.
