Creating Quality Time in Kidtropolis

October 28, 2026

Fun, learning, and quality family time—the kid city of Kidtropolis has it all. The Museum recently surveyed more than 200 families about this exhibit, and the response was overwhelmingly positive: 98% of parents said Kidtropolis provided a quality learning experience outside of school, and 96% said it helped them become more involved in their children’s learning. After shopping and working with their children in this city, 97% of parents stated they gained new ideas for engaging with their children at businesses in their communities.

Parents said Kidtropolis provided meaningful experiences for all ages and interests, such as a parent who stated that, “My kids at 9 and 10 still played make believe for hours together [in Kidtropolis].” Parents called the exhibit an “amazingly realistic experience," with one parent sharing that the most memorable part was “the smile on my daughter’s face every time we come here.”
