It’s a magical (mostly) outdoor playground for curious and energetic kids 

Children play on a playground with a green slide and large building blocks. The setting is an open brick structure, creating an adventurous mood.

Last month we took a long weekend trip to Savannah and one of our favorite stops was the Savannah Children’s Museum. They had so many activities for little kids to do – active play, areas to be creative, and even just some parts where kids can build and use their hands.  


The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., and it is just $12 per person for admission – and trust me that it’s a great deal for how much there is to do!


Here’s the three reasons why we loved it, and think you should visit too!

Little train lovers, rejoice!

Savannah Children’s Museum is located in TriCentennial Park, which is home to both the Children’s Museum and Savannah Railroad Museum. Even without buying tickets for the Railroad Museum, you’re able to see so many trains as you walk in. The first section of the Children’s Museum was maybe my son’s favorite (he asked to go back a few times!) and is an old train car that you can go inside of and there are tons of educational toys, games and books. We loved being inside of a real train!

An outdoor paradise


We were traveling to Savannah from the Midwest in February, so wanted to be outside as much as possible. One of the best things about Savannah Children’s Museum is that other than the train car at the beginning, it’s completely outdoors! We loved enjoying the fresh air and sunshine while we played.

Endless games, play zones and interactive fun


The space is two stories, with the majority of games and activities a short slide ride away. They had something for everyone, and so many of the activities promote imagination and creative play, which is something we love in our house! At one end of the museum, they had a huge maze that we loved running through and exploring. They also had a play kitchen, giant marble run, blocks and soft shapes to build with, and another favorite in our family – a ship wheel with maps of the waters around Savannah where kiddos can pretend to drive a boat.

If you’re visiting Savannah (which I HIGHLY recommend as a destination for traveling with little kids!), definitely add the Savannah Children’s Museum to your itinerary!
