👨‍👩‍👦 Our Personal Experience

We visited the exhibit with my little ones, and the second we walked in, the excitement exploded. The colors, the sounds, the hands-on stations—they were immediately in Clubhouse mode.

The first stop was Pluto’s Birthday Cake, where he spent a solid 15 minutes “frosting,” decorating, and proudly presenting his masterpiece to me like a real baker. Minnie’s Garden was another favorite; arranging the flowers over and over turned into a quiet, focused moment in the middle of a very exciting space.

One of the sweetest highlights was watching him teaming up at the problem-solving station—two tiny Clubhouse helpers figuring out the game together like Mickey and his friends. The exhibit felt both magical and manageable, the perfect mix for little ones who love to touch, pretend, and explore.

By the time we left, I had about 200 photos and one extremely happy (and tired!) kid. It was absolutely worth the trip.
