Be with Me Playseum Minnesota

About

Adults pay the same admission as children here, and that one line in the price list drives most of the unhappy reviews. A parent bringing a toddler pays for two, a couple with a baby pays for three, and several visitors say that is too much for pretend play; one grandparent adds that the craft stations cost extra on top, in the Playseum's own play dollars. Grandparents get in for $2 on Tuesdays, which changes the sum for that visit.

For the money you get a mall unit in Ridgedale Center divided into small themed shops and stations for dress-up, pretend cooking and crafts, and the families who come regularly are enthusiastic. Parents describe children from toddlers to an eleven-year-old busy for hours, one comparing it favorably with the big museum downtown for how clean it is and how much there is to handle. A free activity runs most weekdays, from story time on Mondays to melt-and-pour soap on Wednesdays.

Several visitors mention Christian music playing over the speakers, which one welcomed and others did not expect.
