Marbles Kids Museum is a hands-on children's learning environment that inspires imagination, stimulates curiosity and encourages discovery. Our downtown setting is vibrant and lively, filled with fun and creative ways for kids to play, pretend, invent, in
**Creativity in Motion**
Just what downtown Raleigh needed for families and children--an asset to the community! We have brought many out-of-town guests to play at the museum, and all wish they had this in their own hometown.

This is a whole lot of fun for everyone including the toddlers. They have something for children of all ages. They have a very educational sections for every age. They toddlers love to play in their imaginary section, they can dress up and pretend to be adults, and its gated in, so they can't get away. There is a activities for them to get exercise too. My daughter loved the indoor play hockey ring. She got to wear a jersey and helmet and play her own game of hockey with the stick and puck and all. Lots of fun.

If you have young children you have to go to Playspace. We have a family membership and we use it all the time. It has so many hands on things for kids to do. I would highly recomend going to Playspace. You can spend all day there.

This is a wonderful place to bring small children (it is geared toward children from birth to seven but toddlers rule here!). There are play structures, an art room, and even a special place for non-walkers. It can get crowded in the late morning so we like to go early!

Playspace Children's Museum is wonderful. My preschool-age child really enjoys playing there.
There are stations set up for different types of pretend play. There are stations for grocery shopping, cooking, medical services, acting (including costumes and a stage), a castle, a fire engine, an ambulance, water play and more.
They also have rooms set up to nurture your children's physical abilities, artistic abilities and computer skills.
I really liked how the stations were set up. They had defined boundaries, but didn't limit the parents' vision of what was going on. We went there with a large group and it was easy to keep an eye on all the children, even though they were all playing in different areas.
I recommend treating your child to a day at PlaySpace.

We love playspace! I just can't get my kids out of the place. We became members so they could play as much as they wanted and so we wouldn't go broke. There is so much to do for many, many ages. They also do birthday parties. We love the kids night out that they have once a month on a Friday night!

This is a great place for young kids! They can play pretend and be whatever they wish. They can dress up and have a play, be a fireman, doctor, grocer, chef, princess, whatever they want! It is a lot of fun, my youngest loves the water and toys and my oldest love the castle to play princess. It is a bit on the spendy side, but well worth it when it is super hot. An hour is just about enough time to see everything and enjoy. Parking is pretty good, you can usually find a spot right away, if not, there is plenty of street parking nearby.

I took my neighbor's kids here one day (they are 3, 5, & 8) and they all had a blast! There is a wide variety of great activities! The children's favorite was a section where you can play dress up and act out a play or something on stage, while on camera and can view themselves on a screen. They played for what seemed like forever with that activity. I would highly recommend!
PROS: Wide variety of attractions and activities
CONS: Parking is difficult

Playspace Children's Museum is a great place to take your toddler children. On days that are too hot for the park Playspace is a great alternative for a playdate. There are lots of different areas that your child can explore and use their imagination like the kitchen area and grocery store. My son especially liked the train depot and music room. Very reasonable price for a days fun!

What young child doesn't like to pretend or play dress-up!Playspace Children's Museum is an excellent place for your youngster to dabble in the theatre, ring up groceries like a grocery clerk, make deposits or withdrawals at the bank, pretend to be a fireman or even take on the role of medical practitioner. Playspace offers several child-sized but functional environments in which your young one can practice his/her art of imagination. Reasonably priced it's a must-do for any preschooler!
