Great fun for all ages

Good pictures from the Suess books, cleverly labeled in rhyme, made this a very enjoyable visit. The displays also tell much about Geisel (Dr. Suess) himself.

Delightful place to visit for both adults and their kids

This place is almost like being in a Dr. Seuss story --- every room is a different adventure. The graphics and sculptures are awesome. The museum offers loads of hands on things for the kids and interesting details and displays for adults, not only about...More

Thoroughly enjoyable but probably not for a follow-up visit

This venue is part of the Springfield Museum complex. Tickets get you into all of the museums and can't be separated. It is a good value however. Did not have enough time to see them all, which was OK since our 7 year old granddaughter...More

Fun, But Light on Actual Info

We (2 adults) came here knowing the museum was probably going to be geared mostly towards kids, and it was actually pretty well balanced. The first floor is certainly the most kid-friendly part, but even as adults (and kids at heart) we thoroughly enjoyed it....More

I am not a big fan of Dr. Seuss books, maybe a little burnt out from Read Across a America as a teacher every year. But, I've been wanting to visit this museum for a while. I took my 15 year old daughter, who is...More

So much fun for grown-ups and kids

Dr.Suess has been a favourite since I was a kid. I couldn't miss the chance to visit when I was in the area. Not only was the Seuss Museum a blast, but there are other museums in the immediate vicinity, walking distance, that are worth...More

Included in the Springfield Museums

The museum is part of the Springfield museums so you pay one price for all of them, but look for discount programs because there's a ton. This museum is done very well, and the artwork is above average. A must see if you have little...More

We went to the Springfield Museums and absolutely loved our visit to the Seuss Museum as well as the others. The bottom floor is very hands on for kids but contains a lot of interesting things that adults would like as well. The second floor...More

Nope, We walked right up and got a time card that told us when we would be admitted to the Seuss museum. In the mean time we visited the other museums that were part of the complex.
