Fingerprints Children’s Museum

Good place to take the kids and let them burn their energy. Products are a bit old, but this is a community museum. Can’t expect anything more.

I took my 3 year old here a couple weeks ago and he LOVED it. They have tons of things to keep the kids busy for hours. A lot of the stuff is in need of some repair and a good cleaning but if your child is old enough to know not to put things in their mouth, you should be fine. I do however think it’s silly to charge the parents to get in. It’s definitely an easy $ 5 for them. Be prepared, if you’re going when it’s hot they don’t have ac in the play area.

My daughter loves this place! It’s so big I have to follow her all over. I get upset that some parents just sit and don’t watch their kids and then the play rooms get trashed! I tried to check out Image Me Grow but they only have a limited amount of spots and you have to register ahead of time. Plus there are limited days of open play. I prefer just walking in when you need somewhere fun to bring the kids last minute.

This place is so dirty! It needs total updating too! I wouldn’t take my dog here let alone my baby. Child’s Play in Temecula is NICE, it’s worth the drive!

Adult supervision is a must for toddlers. Child friendly and safe but not as «baby proofed» as other child museums. Lots of neat things for kids to explore. Brought my 2yo, he had a blast! Definitely recommend the stop.

The only place in town that is indoors that is 100% family friendly! Mostly for younger kids. A little outdated but is worth the money. Only if you buy the yearly membership

Went there the other day for the first time. The price was very reasonable and a great place to take the kids on a cold day to get their wiggles out. It had a fridge and microwave so you can bring your own food and stay awhile. The staff was nice. Tons of activities for kids to do. I think my only complaint was the location but other than that give it a whirl.

This place is wonderful. I believe that it is ridiculous that these parents are complaining about the staff. I am a member of this museum mostly because of the staff. They are very helpful, friendly and kind. It seems to me, the only parents that has a problem with the staff are the ones with the unruly kids. I witnessedt parents and guardians alike alike getting so upset because the staff politely asked them or their children to not damage the property, lower their voices, or to be respectful/​careful of other children playing alongside them.

I agree with the other reviews as far as customer service… it stinks! I’m pretty sure I know of that rude, older lady they are speaking of. She was walking around the place like she was all annoyed and snapping at the kids. I could NOT believe it. I went up front and complained to the girl sitting at the desk. This was quite a while ago, I can’t believe this cranky witch still works there. We went today, for a birthday party, and there were sullen looking teenagers walking around. My friend went up to the employee to ask if they worked there. They were just creepy. She said they are high school students who volunteer there. Well, I do NOT like the fact that a teenage boy is working there. He went into the little dr. room with a bunch of little girls to pick something up off the floor. A couple of the other teens were hanging out in the ambulance. Very inappropriate and it made us feel uneasy about the whole thing. The carpet is gross, too. This really could be a great place but, the truth is, it’s not!

I’ll give this business 2 stars for one reason. The facilities. Other than that it deserves a zero in my book.
We were there today and it’s a pretty cool place. Lots for kids to do, fun and interesting things like a full sized police car and ambulance in the middle. The place is divided up into different sections. There’s a bank, Vet’s office, Walmart, Police station, Hospital, News Room, Kitchen area, etc. They’re all pretty stocked up with fun stuff to play with. It’s not the cleanest place but it’s not too bad.
Now on to the reason that this place deserves a zero. Customer service. When we first walked in there was a not so friendly older woman and a crabby looking teen sitting at the front. They sorta just expected us to know what to do to sign in and weren’t very helpful. It’s $ 5 per person including the adult. (so $ 10 for my 4 year old and I) Whatever, we went on our way. (we were the only people there the whole time except the very beginning)
After a while, our kids were jumping on the hood of the police car and all of the sudden we hear a scream, a literal scream ‘HEEEEYYYYYYYY! GET DOWN FROM THERE RIGHT NOW YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT!!!’ I thought somebody was injured at first. Turns out that instead of walking the 50 feet it took to ask us to please not have our children do that, she chose to scream at the top of her lungs, across the room, in an inappropriate manner. Regardless, a sign saying ‘please do not let children play on top of vehicles’ would have been something helpful seeing as to how this is a place for children to explore. We chose to ignore the rudeness and move along.
A little while after that, she comes out from her behind the desk cave and starts brusquely picking up toys and costumes like she is irritated. Again, we ignored her. Our children were still actively playing and we were walking around supervising. After about 10 minutes of disgruntled tidying up, she proceeds to come over and scold us at how ‘messy’ and ‘disgusting’ and ‘ridiculous’ the place looked, that we needed to clean up after our children and it’s not fair for people who pay to play to see such a mess. Say what?! This is a CHILDREN’S MUSEUM! Our children were still playing with the toys that were left out. I tried to explain that they were still playing and that we would clean up when we were about to leave, and she felt the need to continue arguing. So unprofessional!
She then proceeded to speak harshly to my friend’s 2 year old daughter who immediately started crying and wanted to leave because she was so upset.
Not only was the place almost identically «messy» as when we first got there, most of the toys that were out hadn’t even been played with by our kids. I feel we got the brunt of it because we were the last ones there. Regardless, what is the point of a children’s museum if it isn’t appropriate for the children to play with they items that are set out for them? This place should not be advertised for age 2+ if 2 year olds are expected to sit and play with one toy at a time within a 1 foot radius of the box that the toy belongs in.
Anyways, we will not be going back. This place would definitely benefit from management keeping staff in check. I now understand why the place was completely dead. What a shame, this place has a lot of potential!
