Took some time today to stop by and visit WOW. Super fun place to bring the kiddo and let them run around and have fun. Theres all kinds of hands-on/sensory activities there. From a light wall, legos/duplos, wood train sets, and an interactive store and home. There was also a party happening when we came in. Not sure what the rates were but I am sure the answer is just a phone call or click away. Be warned, though, there were lots of kids running around, so its pretty easy to just get mowed over by one at any moment. It also got loud a few times from the kids having fun and running around, so if you like a more tame environment, this may not be the greatest for you.

My child loved it. Small venue but evidently can fill up 2 hours with fun. Admission was reasonable. The girls at the front were very sweet & gave us first time visitors a run-down of the place without us having to ask. The areas were kept clean and tidy.

Had a great time at WOW for my little one s birthday! Adequate play time and the room for parties is nice! Whoever in management sees this, I want you to know you had a great group of employees working Saturday! I wish I got the name of one of the girls that was so sweet and went above and beyond to help us. (Blonde caucasian young girl)

Been long time members and have been taking kids there for years. We loved it at the beginning, but it seems like WOW is targeting the wrong market. First, the schedule caters too much to public school children. Thats all fine, honestly, but at least let us homeschool families in too. By only allowing us weekends, all we find are birthday parties. I know they have plans for expansion, but I think they have to understand who their market is to make that happen.

This place has a lot of potential, and the atmosphere is definitely for learning and enjoying time with your family. I was upset that a few of the activities were out of order, and others there wasnt any real instructions on how the space could be used. I love that we are trying to help children use their imagination here, but there should also be general visions for inspiration available to help spark their interests. The light wall was the coolest space, and the giant chess set. We loved changing the color on the lights and mixing matching them. It was awesome. Alot of the areas really just need some volunteers, or employees to walk around and help children find areas that are probably left unexplored. The supply chest with all the creative tools was locked, so exploring this entire creative area was not really available. At the car jump, the cars wouldnt drive straight, so jumps werent really possible. The Lego pits were fun, its nice to create whatever you want. The house and store were fun, but nothing had a price so when they say an onion is 100 dollars.....lol you have to follow up with a normal price. They should have had more physical activity areas, maybe another slide, or some fort building materials to help create crawl spaces or play houses. Overall we had a good time, the place was good. But could be better. The gift shop is in the entrance, not the exit, would sell alot more if we were funneled out of the area through the gifts.

Hands down my favorite place to take my four year old, in Longview! Its a GREAT & educational place for kids from babies to at least 10 years old! My little man lovesss this place. From the grocery shopping, to the big (& small) blocks, to the hardware store, to everything else. He has the BEST time every single time we go & is never ready to leave. Also, this place is quite a bit bigger than I anticipated! Which was a pleasant surprise. We cant wait to go back again SOON!

I brought my kids to this place today! I heard about it from a female friend! Ill say this its a good place to bring kids. But they should offer bottles of water and some type of snacks. There are Pros and Cons to this establishment.. The pros are its kid friendly. Lots of different things to do in there to keep kids entertained for hours. So thats a plus all that being said. Im hoping my kids dont get sick everyone fingers everything. I found spit on toys which is disgusting!!! I found chewed up gum on some toys and on the floor. I know it was on the floor cause I stepped in it. Worst con is parents bring there kids here to sit and play on there phones or talk. In other words they dont pay attention to their kids. Which means if your in line to do something there is basically no line cause kids just cut your children off. The staff stays up front on their phones an dont really regulate any rules. Especially for the parents!!! Its an ok place ill be happy to barely give 3 stars if they mind some improvements it would be a much better place!!!

We absolutely love coming to Longview wow. They have started to move exhibits around which is very nice to see theyve even added a few new exhibits which is honestly long overdue. The only recommendation that I have is that I wish they would maybe condense the Lego area and possibly add an area that is more baby to toddler friendly. A small library would be nice as well. we have not yet had the opportunity to go to their special events when they have projects going on but I have heard from friends that theyre great The staff is amazing and the events always run smoothly.
