After reading so many great reviews one would think it's a great museum. Nothing can be further from the truth. They have 5 museums in one. The art museum has a very, very small collection on display…Full review by Ron S
Does anyone know where the Toytopia exhibit is located? And how would I get tickets to this? I live in NYC and want to come up sometime during the week. Any info would help.
A:
If you Google 'toytopia exhibit in Springfield' you will find all the info that you need. The exhibit is great.

Depending on how engaged your kids are it would take an hour or so for the Seuss Museum alone. If you include all the other museums in the group (two art museums, the Science Museum, and the local History Museum) you're probably going to need 4 to 5 hours. Also, just up the street, is the national armory museum which is part of the national park system. It's very interesting even for those of us who are not that interested in guns but enjoy history.

it really depends on the individual visitors. It took us an hour, but the children with us (5,9,12) only did two of the hands on activities - one sketched a Seuss character on a screen and all three stacked turtles. There were a couple of more activities upstairs and downstairs there was a craft they could have participated in, but the 5 year old was getting restless. There was also a reading area where you could spend time reading. For adults and older children there is a section upstairs with correspondence. I loved reading that and if we didn't have the two younger ones would probably have spent half an hour up there. As an important side note, the museum regulates how many visitors can get in at one time - I'm sure to keep the hands on activities from getting crowded and lines from forming. You can purchase tickets ahead of time, otherwise you might get there and have to wait to enter the museum. The guard at the door checks the time on your ticket. So if you are on a tight schedule, keep that in mind.
What is the average time needed to visit/tour the Springfield Museum? And also the George Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum, and the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden? Are these three places an all day event, or two days?
A:
Visiting the entire campus usually takes a full day, but could take longer if you really took your time with everything. The George Walter Vincent Smith and the Dr. Seuss Sculpture …
Visiting the entire campus usually takes a full day, but could take longer if you really took your time with everything. The George Walter Vincent Smith and the Dr. Seuss Sculpture Garden are all part of the Springfield Museums.
