We had great expectations when we approached the museum. Very cute historic building. The lobby was beautiful and the front desk staff was extremely friendly. When we moved into the exhibit space it became more "typical" of what you might expect in a dated children's museum - many pretend play spaces: a construction set, bank, dentist office, farm. Around the... More

This is a great place for kids to go and play out different things. Example, being a fireman, policeman, reporter or to just dress up and play. You can also have birthday parties here.

My two-year-old daughter and I spent a Friday morning exploring what it would be like to be a dentist, a soldier, a grocery shopper, a postman, a weatherman, a judge and much more. She had so much fun dressing up and pretending to play different roles. The entry fee is very affordable, the staff were friendly and did a great... More

Our granddaughter was a bit older than 2 when she visited. She became so attached to each exhibit that we have a hard time giving her the entire tour. We were looking to have a snake exhibitors there, whom she loved. So check their website's schedule for workshops, speakers, etc.

My 2 1/2 yr old loves this place. Its a small museum, nothing fancy but it keeps the little ones busy from the moment they hit the door. Of course, Mom and Grandma for also busy running after my daughter. She can't decide what to play with first, there is so much for her to touch and play with.

An OK way to spend an hour or two with small kids, but not great. The exhibits are a bit worn out and need refreshing.

We took our 15 month old there, and it just didn't click for us. I could see the older toddlers having fun, but our family just didn't have an amazing time. We lasted there about 30 mins. However, for the price, it was worth the distraction for the morning!

Oh Fascinate-U, how I wish I could love you, but you are so sad, tired and worn. Fayetteville desperately needs indoor places for children. We go here because there isn't much else to do in this town and its cheap. Fascinate-U is the cheapest children's museum I've come across and it shows. Everything is broken, old and not very fun....

I was very hopeful to have finally found a museum for my child, but when I got inside it was dirty and there were kids running around the place without an adult. It almost seamed as if it was a day care instead of a museum. Its more dress up and a inside playground not that educational. However my kid... More
