    ImaginOn: The Joe & Joan Martin Center image
    Didn't know what to Expect. We were originally going to Discovery Place but they were closed. With a young child i wanted to do something different so we found this place. Staff was nice and helpful and the facility was clean and easily accessable. First off, it's not a childrens museum or anything like they. It is a childrens library. My daughter had fun exploring the different areas and they do offer lots of special activities from Camps, Crafts, Classes, Theater Performances and other childrens activities. We spent a little while exploring every floor and it was something different and educational to do with young children. See more..
