We had my son's fourth birthday party here!! The kids love it. The staff is wonderful! Couldn't recommend it more! We had the party on a Thursday. They offer a 5:30-7:30 time slot which I think is the perfect amount of time!

Clean and lots of play options for the price. It's nice that you have in and out privileges throughout the day as well. Our kids really loved the tree house and golf holes.

If you have little ones this definitely needs to be on your itinerary for your trip to Monterey. For just $10 a person your child can play in a safe area that encourages learning and creative play. The staff keeps it very clean and sanitized. Parking is easy to find just be mindful of time limits on your parking spot. The meter maids are brutal LOL

Been many times now, staff is always friendly especially to kiddos. Everything is always clean and in working order. You could easily spend half the day playing with your kids here. We love the arts and crafts area. This place is awsome.

The aquarium is overhyped. This place is perfect for the under 6 crowd. My 8yo and 20 month old had a blast here! The craft station was a big hit with my older kid and my younger one ran around freely. Super clean and inviting. But the mere $10 admission is a jaw dropping value. I would highly recommend and will be back

We live in Santa Cruz and usually go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium when visiting Monterey. I’m glad we decided to try MY Museum, my 5yo loved it. The museum has really good exhibits, staff is super friendly. And the place is really clean. You will see employees cleaning up and organizing things pretty often. That alone is awesome. The place is very open and has a great flow. A lot of options to keep kids busy and engaged. The creation station was definitely a highlight. They have plenty of good craft materials for kids to let their creativity flow. There’s also a 3 and under area for little ones. And compared to other activities in the area and considering the place looks great, price is fair.

Two boys -4 and 2- had a blast. We came for two days in a row and they never got bored. The craft station was a hit for the 4 year old and the 2 year old loved the 3 hole mini golf course. Bathrooms were perfect for diaper changes too. We'll come back next time we have an extended visit. It could use an espresso machine (hint hint).

Took our boys (7 and 4.5) and they had an amazing time. So much cool stuff for them to engage with! We wish we had something like this in our own city. Very friendly staff.
