Reviews of Wise Wonders Science and Discovery Museum

Caiti Polley

Wow!!! This place is amazing for kiddos! We took our 11month old and a friends 2, 4, and 6 year olds and all the kids had a blast. Great way to help stimulate kids brains and also let them run some energy out. The staff was great and always cleaning and sterilizing things while kids were playing. Plus they have a coffee shop with snacks and strong coffee…win win win!

Guenever Aldrich

This is a great indoor playground for kids. Not sure I'd call it a museum. My five year had a blast running around and playing. The wind tunnel was a huge hit!

Donald Young

**UPDATED 9/20/22** A wall has been added to secure the entrance. This is a much better set up than before. WATCH YOUNG KIDS CLOSE!!! *See pictures* This is a great place to play. Our kids love it and it's very affordable, whether paying day rate or membership. HOWEVER, the front entrance is not protected. The main door is automatic and very sensitive, and there is no barriers to keep kids from getting over by the doors. When they do, and the doors open, staff doesn't help to stop them from going out of the building right into the parking lot. Would really like to see some sort of improvement to the entryway to minimize the potential for this.

*please give me a like if helpful* LOVE THIS PLACE! I have a 5 year old and one year old and they both live it! I have fun too! There is coffee and treats too enjoy while there as well. Kids of learning from building with Legos, science, oral health, music and alot more Family memberships are currently $75 and with it $5 per person well worth the membership for hot summer days or cold winter months!

Olivia Yeager

I would love to give this business all the stars in the world, what the stand for and try to facilitate is amazing! The parents that come in and allow their children to destroy the areas are the only reason i can't give 5 stars! Parents will come in and expect the workers to watch and pick up after the children! The lack of accountability in both the children and the parents is unmatched! If you need someone else to watch your child get a nanny! Wise wonders is to help facilitate learning and engaging with your children in a safe and fun way! TO INCLUDE PICKING UP AFTER THEMSELVES OR YOU DO IT!

Abigail Maurer

Had my sons first birthday party there on Saturday and paid for the after hours as well. I personally have never been there and this was such an amazing place! The kids and adults had such a good time. We have had parties at other locations for my other child and I have never seen the adults be so involved. The gentleman working did the science experiment and made it fun for the few kids we had. After this we walked out and I looked at my spouse and knew immediately I wanted to get a membership. Such a good time, and worth the extra charge to do it after hours as well!

Yvonne Shanley

Visited this place as we were driving through the state and needed a break for our 15 month old. This place was so cool and there is so many different science related activities and even a cute miniature grocery store. My son loved this place and my husband and I also enjoyed the different activities.

Isabella Drake

There is so much to do here for any age! We have a membership and go at least once a week and my kids are still always excited to go. We usually spend at least two hours playing and learning.

Nicole

my kids and I come here a lot and my kids love it. However the past couple times I’ve been here, certain staff members have been rude. They don’t want anyone sitting at the “activity table” but yet there’s not nearly enough seating for parents. They rudely asked me and my sister to move 🙄 I appreciate abiding by rules and having standards but staff should be a little more tolerant of kids when you’re working at kids museum.

Graphic Finesse LLC

Fantastic place to air the stink off of the little ones in an educational and fun environment! Plus they have great spaces for birthday parties that include age appropriate science experiments! Great fun had by all!!

Vikki Robinson

Kids all had a great time, it has Learning aspects, but it's honestly more like an indoor park. Great way to spend some snowed in hours (:

David B. Karpf, MD

Attended our grandson's 4th birthday party here. Great space, and a docent came in and ran a science experiment with all the kids, making rainbows from various colored vinegar solutions into a container of baking soda. All the kids, from age almost two to about 11 loved it!

Alyssa Russo

We went to the Cafe! Super helpful staff. We had a really nice brunch. ☺ the coffee was great and we sat outside. Very chill vibe! Even bought some cool crafts at the little local shop.

Cherie Deveraux, CMP (Nailz by Cherie')

Loads of fun! The play grocery store was a huge hit with our group, but everything was fun and different!

DAVID PETERSEN

There is much to do here. The only limitations is ones imagination, and the degree of parental involvement. From simple playing to taking advantage of the opportunity to teach/learn, Wise Wonders is a bit of a treasure. The staff is very helpful when needed, and does a great job of keeping the place in order!

Francie Mendes

Not sure of the adult price to get in. Hubby paid. There's lots of different stations for the children to interact. One highlight: very clean. There's always someone cleaning bathrooms, floors, toys, etc. My grandchildren love Wise Wonders. Staff are very very friendly.

Amy Dorr

My daughter and I visited the museum with five children, ages 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10. We were there over two hours and they were all completely engrossed in activity the entire time! I was really surprised that a small museum could have activities for such a wide range of ages. It was a really fun experience for all of us and I would recommend it to anyone who wants an educational and fun play time in a clean and well run museum....and it was nice and cool there on a very hot day!

Don't put me in a box

We love this place!! The name is misleading, it's not a museum in they typical sense, it's a big room with tons of toddler/young kid stuff to do. There are many different activity centers from a really cool running water table, a moon dough station, a veterinarian shop full of stuffies to a computer with a science program on it. Excellently priced. $60 a year!!

Ethan Moberly-Domina

Wise wonders was a great play place. Just not catered I think for my 15 month old. Just a little too busy for him. But there was plenty of activities and play areas that he seemed excited to use if he was a little bigger. Staff was friendly and offered to take our daily admission of a yearly pass if we decided that we liked it and wanted to do that thing. All in all a good inexpensive place to kill time for about an hour. Ebon coffee is attached and that is great too

Brian Kelly

$60 per year and you and the kids can come anytime they are open. Kids love to play here hours at a time. Unfortunately you have to find a parking spot downtown and feed the meters.

Becky H

This place is great! A great, fun place to take your child and play and have fun!

John Quinby

Wise Wonders is really cool. The space is not the biggest, but the amount of activities and things for kids to do is great. The huge water display/playset was the star of the attraction, but there were kids playing with everything and having a blast. We were visiting Billings for a few days and stopped in as we wanted to meet up with friend and we are totally glad we did. Our daughter had a blast!! Plus, the mascot is an. Owl named Whoo and the play market. Is named as such. Adorable!

Livia Baldi

My almost 3yo old had a lot of fun. After 2hs playing, he didn’t want to leave.

Shirley Kiddo

This place is super cool. I went to the Ebon coffee shop before they merged, so I was pleasantly surprised when we were invited to go here and it's right in the same building! You can grab a cup of coffee and sit at the counter chatting and watching your kids play. Neat! Especially for cold days where the kids want to play but you just want to stay in a warm place and enjoy a cup of coffee.

Nickelle Mitchell

Love this place! It is great for all ages and my daughter never gets bored as there is so much for her to do and explore! Super friendly staff and a cherry on top is being able to get coffee while my daughter plays!

Tina Hooppell

Lovely place for kids to have fun while learning. My granddaughter loved it and didn't want to leave.

Brad Lammers

Great for kids. Some of the play features could use updating.

Sierra Vista

Wise Wonders Science and Discovery is an adorable place to bring little ones. I had the opportunity to tour the building. The activiites are designed to engage/teach/ fun. General Admission: $5 (ages 1-99) Members are free! Children Under 1yr are free Stop by and let the little ones discover and play. There is a cute little coffee shop (Ebon Coffee Collective) located in the building-so get a pastry and nice hot cup of Tea/Coffee/Latte/lemonade while you let the little ones imagination soar. Great place to get the kids out of the house during the cold winter or the heat of summer. They are expanding exhibits and growing more activites in the very near future. Cheers, Dani

Sean Sanford

Great place for kids to explore and learn the wonders of science. All while having a blast! Highly recommended 👌. …

Zach Kamla

This is a small museum but at $5/kiddo it kept them busy for 1.5 hours and allowed the adults a little break (they even have a coffee shop!). The kids had a lot of fun with the exhibits that are there, and it looks like more are under construction. It's a great thing to do, more engaging and affordable than going to see a movie.

jabels b

Lots of things to for the kiddos. Tons of space. Plus a coffee shop inside for adults.

Jamie Elgas

The new location is big and my son LOVES playing tag!!

Kari Smith

We had an Amazing affordable Birthday Party for my 4yr old Daughter! Leah and Sophie were amazing helping with the party and did a science experiment for all the kiddos! My Daughter even got a Birthday T-shirt. The Bday room was great 👍🏻! The new building has so much space all my kids enjoyed their time! So many new things to play with! The cafe is also a life saver. We have a membership there and anytime we go the kids are excited to go and sad to leave after 2+hrs 🤗. The staff is amazing and interactive with the kiddos! Best kept secret in Billings! Thank you for taking all the stress out of planning a party at my house!

Sophia Watson

Very interesting and interactive. Lots of hands on fun! Great for kids all ages! My brother is 5 and I am 12 and we both had a blast.

Stephanie Bostic

Great place for younger kids. So many fun activities and different theme areas for kids to learn, explore, be creative and use their imagination. If you have kids aged 8 or under I would highly recommend, if kids are older maybe not so much. Also if you plan to visit occasionally or frequently then I would recommend getting the family pass as there is a small charge for everyone to enter the museum (kids 12 months and under are free). Great resource to have in our community!

mitch hall

My kid loves his place constantly has to go to it very cheap only five bucks a person can't beat that with the coffee shop inside for us parents

Kyle Nelson

Excellent, Clean place for small kids to play. We love bringing our kids here.

Susan Smith

We are members and go nearly every Saturday - my granddaughters have a great time & absolutely love Wise Wonders. My eldest granddaughter, Zahara had her birthday party here yesterday & it was perfect. Staff are amazing - very helpful/friendly. Would highly recommend Wise Wonders to anyone with little angels.

Taynak

So much fun for the kids and adults! Birthday party for the little was fun and all the kids had so much fun! Definitely recommended!

derek jurovich

A wondrous place, full of interactive toys. My kids played here for nearly 4 hours. I hope they get enough funding to keep expanding. 5.00 to get in, membership is the best deal though with unlimited visits.

Kyle Bistline

Very gvood museum for kids. Several hands on displays and items for kids of a wide age range. Took our 10 month old and 3 1/2 yr old and both had a blast and the older one learned some things.

Rainy Burshia

I love taking my daughter to Wise Wonders! Staff are amazing and all the activities and different games they have for our kids is just awesome. I struggle to get my baby out of there sometimes coz she wants to stay! Over joys me seeing how much kids learn have fun at Wise Wonders Museum.

David Fox

Great place to take young kids for fun play time that gives them a touch of science and physics.

Brent B.

I've enjoyed taking my kids here. There's a great variety of things for them to do, and they haven't gotten bored even after repeat visits. The staff has always been helpful and courteous.

Edna Olds

It was a great afternoon the grandkids played I didn't have to occupy them.

Caitlin P

This is our FAVORITE place to go and play for hours. There's so many fun activities to do here. It's not just imagination play, there's a book corner, piano, and more scientific activities like a color changing topographic map, microscopes and slides, an earthquake simulator, a water area, and numerous other play stations to keep kids engaged and learning. We usually spend 3-4 hours here for a great price. My only complaint are the bathrooms : they could use a remodel as they're small, smelly, and sometimes not functioning. Small tip, bring an extra set of clothes just in case kids get wet in the water play area :)

Rebekah Tyler

Awesome place! Love the people, love the activities, and it is just an overall fun place. They are regularly updating and changing activities so it is never boring to go again and again. Well worth every penny!

Jeremy Meyer

Pretty cool spot. Very busy with lots too do.very friendly and helpful staff. Cost is just a little too pricey for frequent visits but not so expensive that you couldn't go a few times a month. More play area than learning center. Does have a pretty cool water table setup and see through player piano.

Georgana Derr

So fun, great staff and lots of wonderful activities.

Lisa Woodward

Awesome place to keep my toddlers entertained, intellectually stimulated, and busy for hours. We just had a birthday party here for my four-year-old and all of the kids (and parents) had an excellent time!

Colleen Hamman

Love this place for toddler/early elementary age kids. If you are a germaphobe it might not be for you. Busier after school and weekends. Very inexpensive annual membership or pay by the visit. Definitely recommend for fun play place.

Jessica Dailey

Such a great place to go with young kids my 3 and 5 year old loved it!! Great price for all day fun bring some ones for city parking but I believe when they move into the new building they will have a parking lot and you won't have to worry anymore this is a great place for little minds imagination and staff was so wonderful

Riley Aeryn

There was a lot to do, see, and learn. My bf had a blast playing with the water, building blocks, and parachutes, but my one year old was a little too young to really enjoy it. Looking forward to taking her back when she gets a little older.

Caleb Pearson

This was an excellent place for our children to stretch out and play! The activities are varied enough that each child can find a 'favorite' spot, and spend hours enjoying their play while exercising their bodies and minds

Beth R

Great place to take kids of all ages. We lived playing along with our children!

Jess Drain

Such a fun treat! Lots of fun and child-directed activities. Looking forward to seeing what they add to the mix as they expand. Will probably be getting a membership, even though we live out of town, the kids loved it!

SM James

The best things about Wise Wonders are so numerous! The staff, their patience, creativity and dedication to ensuring Yellowstone County has a science-based, kid-oriented facility. The exhibits are geared for younger minds to explore and interact with other younger friends. Parental interactions are encouraged to help promote the sense of experience and how the world works. The growth that Wise Wonders has is only limited by the community. Let's see how much we can foster!

Jonathan Eyestone

This is a great place for the kids to just hang out and play. They have a wide variety of fun activities and things to do. My kids love the waterway and giant linking logs the most.

Ronda McManus

A wonderful place for children under 8 and of course their parents too.

Henry R. Frew

The new location is amazing. Great for kids of all ages.

Patty Coates

Awesome place for children of all ages to learn some of life's fundamental tasks as well as more complex rules of education. Strong science, reading, math, interactive skills and understanding can be taught here.

Katherine Adams

I wouldn't really call it a "museum". Rather it's a giant playroom for kids. But my 3 year old and 1 year old love it! There is lots for them to do, and they always hate to leave.

Marcus Thornson

A fun place where you can learn while you play. I'm envious that this "museum" wasn't around when I was younger, as I can understand why my kids never want to leave. Definitely worth splurging on a family membership.

Houli

The new 'Grocery store' was a hit with my kids. Grab a coffee at Ebon coffee while the kids play!

Jacqueline Smith

Oh my gosh this place is awesome! My little boy is 1, he loved this! The staff was great we came in at 4:30 it was slow, but the ladies made sure to turn the exhibits on for us.

David Robinson

I can't say enough about this place. It's simple and one big room, but my kiddos love it. Been almost 10 times, and will be back again.

Carolyn Sevier

A fantastic children's museum for Billings. Well-thought-out exhibits and structures, and the right balance of directed activity and free play. And we love that it's downtown, too!

shannon dean

So much fun for kids of all ages! My 1 year old loves it here and there's stuff for older kids too. The employees are amazing too.

Andrew Wood

Our 5 and 7 year olds happily explored everything here for 3 hours, and would have stayed longer I'm sure.

Kyle Volle

It's a little small, but plenty of things to do to keep kids entertained for a few hours. For only $5 per person, it's a great time-waster.

Erika Duke

This is a great place to take the family. Kids and adults have a great time. There's plenty of things for everyone to look at and in the kids Discovery Zone area there is plenty of hands on stuff for the kids to do.

anthony saur

Awesome place for kids even the adults can have some fun playing with all the cool stuff they have! Clean environment and weekly activities for all the kids!

Sharell Curtis

Absolutely love this place. My children could stay here all day if I let them. The staff is always cleaning up and kind to everyone who walks in the door.

Bree Cole

My daughter adores this place!

Nancy Nix

Great place for the littles to have fun. Would have been nice if both staff hadn't been camped out at the register as some of the kids got a bit wild.

It's about time Billings had some sort of science museum for children. I would love to see it continue to grow.

Carla LaFurge

They hosted a 2 hour training for the BCCA. They taught about STEAM. They had 4 stations set up and rotated us in 4 groups. It was good.

Went to a birthday party here . It had tons of activities but no changing table in the men's bathroom ... I'm a single father so that was a bit of a hassle .
