Took my 14 year old and my 2 year old niece and both had a great time. So much to explore. Very hands on!
First, to mention, as per the signs, your children are not supposed to climb on any of the statues.
I'm thrilled to tell you that the Dr. Seuss Museum is free! I had the best time exploring the museum without waiting in any lines. Although some rooms were more crowded than others, I had a blast checking out all the fantastic activities available for kids and adults. While the museum has a lot of information and pictures, it's filled with many whimsical statues that made me smile. Overall, it was an incredibly joyful experience that I'll never forget! The guides were beneficial and informative. (Except the one guide upstairs who tried to hit on my sister 😤)
Upstairs, there is a room displaying Dr. Seuss's family tree. Photography and videography are strictly prohibited in this room due to the absence of copyrights. However, you are free to capture images and videos in all other rooms.
Lastly. YOUR KIDS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CLIMB OR PLAY ON THE STATUES AS PER THE SIGNS!

Very well done, the guides are super knowledgeable and it's clear that they love their jobs. Lots of great memories of childhood, well documented history.
I marked free because military and veterans are no charge! This is for all five museums there.

If you loved reading Dr. Seuss books as a kid, you'll love this place, no matter your age. Fun for everyone, beautiful and easy to navigate. Two levels of exhibits that make you feel like you're inside one of your favorite stories! A must see in Springfield.
Fabulous tourist destination in a lovely European-style square setting - both this museum and the surrounding city are well worth a visit. My daughter is nine, and we both enjoyed the statues and the exhibits inside the museum (the information about young "Ted's" life is particularly fascinating!).
Fun and interesting. The kid's fun areas are downstairs, with rooms decorated with images and colors of his books. There are some things for small hands to do. The memorabia from the life of Theodore Seuss and history is mainly upstairs. Includes some of his correspondence, he had a great sense of humor and irony. As someone who read Dr Seuss to my kids, I loved it.
If you have kids, just go it’s great. Lots of photo opportunities, things to keep them occupied for an hour. Great to pair with the history museum.
