Unlikely spot for this museum
He was born here and this museum came together toward the end of his life. He lived in California as an adult which seems the more likely place for this- however Springfield is where it is at. Nicely done exhibits laying out the story of his career. Definitely for children- as it should be.

Homage to Dr. Seuss and his characters in Springfield, Massachusetts
This museum is one of the five "Springfield Museums." The complex has free parking. You pay one admission in the visitors center and may visit any of the museums you like. The Seuss museum, as you might guess, is very child oriented. It is two floors. There is also a sculpture garden outside the entrance to the Seuss museum paying homage to several of Seuss' characters. There is a restaurant next to the parking lot and a gift shop in the science museum. COVID-19: Employees were masked. Visitors were expected to be masked and maintain social distance protocols--a challenge with so many children in the facility.

A must for true Dr Seuss fans
So I will admit that I was the only adult there without a child. But I love Dr Seuss and have been a fan my entire life. The museum is geared probably more toward kids, but the information, both on the walls, and in the audio guide which is done by dialing a number on your phone, definitely explains his history, childhood, and how his life influenced his work. It is a small museum, but I spent almost 90 minutes there. Loved it! A great tribute to a brilliant man
