Lion Lights is the amazing true story of Richard Turere, a young Maasai living in Kenya. This is the story of how he, as a small child, invented a way to protect his family’s cows from hungry lions and at the same time ended the need to kill lions that were attacking the cows. Now his invention is being used all over the world. This book will inspire children everywhere to do amazing things!Ms. Pollock will be at the Museum to share this delightful story with families this month! We’ll have crafts, games, and music related to this story of invention and ingenuity. This book has recently won 2 awards: The National Science Teachers Award for outstanding science trade books for students and The California Reading Association Eureka Award for excellence in nonfiction. Shelly Pollock is a retired teacher who taught children and adults reading and math for over 25 years.

A museum we love to visit every time we visit St George! The price is just right (lower than northern Utah museums!), interactive for kids and sparks imagination. The staff is extremely friendly too. A must if you are in St George with littles!

What a fun place for kids! I loved that there was so much for them to do and to play with! It's reasonably priced and my kids had hours of entertainment! I even wanted to play with the toys! Whoever thought of this was genius!

Amazing children's museum for pretend play and immersing your child(ren) into different jobs and roles in the world. My 3 1/2 year old could have spent all day there. We are not local, but I wish we were just for this! The price is also very good considering how many large rooms and small details they have!

I’ve been to children’s museums from the west coast to the east. This is one of the best. Not too big and not too small, just right. Safe yet inspiring. My 3yo LOVED it. Kids of all ages need this now more than ever!

St. George is a small town, so I figured we’d spend an hour here and see everything. Instead, I was blown away. We spent over 3 hours here and would’ve spent longer, honestly. We did not see everything. The decor and attention to detail provides great immersion for pretend play. We went on a “busy day” as overheard by locals who were there… but from an out-of-towner’s perspective, it was not too busy to have fun. And as you can see, I was able to get lots of pictures with only my little in them, so it wasn’t crowded in my opinion (although I understand it may feel different for regulars). We will absolutely come back if we are in the area again.

Our kids loved it! First time and they spent a couple of hours. Great price for everything that’s offered.

We have been coming here every year for the past 5 years, we’re from Northern Utah but come every February for the music conference, and we always make it a priority to come to the Children’s Museum because we love it so much. We have 3 kids aged 3-9 and they all find things they love to do. The grocery store and fitness rooms seem to always be the favorites but my 9 year old really loved the science room and my younger kids loved the art and music room. Every time we come we see things that have been updated so we know they prioritize upkeep and cleanliness. Overall a great place for kids to play and learn.
