**INFORMATION BELOW IS ONLY FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES**

77 E. Blackwell St., Dover, NJ.

A small train table, Papier Mache heads, Electricity Exhibits, Toddler Area, Stage, and lots of Children’s work displayed for viewing.

I have to admit the decor is odd at first,  but the kids were definitely entertained in this place for a couple hours. For a $5 admission, if you are nearby I would pay this place a visit as an alternative to the bigger museums.

Some Highlights:

Besides the toddler area which is spacious and shown below, there is a little stage with costumes, and a toy megaphone, will let your kids perform for you while they see themselves on the TV.

Although there are multiple rooms, it is a rather small museum, so not as hard to find your kids, also only one entrance.

Clay is available for molding, and a sink nearby to wash your hands.

Sidenote: For the money it’s a good deal, and you can find a coupon for buy one get one free from kidstuff coupon book.  Look out this fall for kids fundraising, that book is one of the best values I have come across.
