Disneyland and LEGOLAND will no doubt be on the vacation wish list, but we’re here to tell you the following museums are giving amusement parks a serious run for their money. From tiny towns to giant locomotives, your kiddos will be begging to stay another day. Click through the gallery below to learn about our favorite spots from across the country.

Please Touch Museum, Philadelphia

We don't mind if we do! The Please Touch Museum is a place that loves little hands, and is filled with to-die-for stations like a 40-foot replica of the Statue of Liberty’s Arm and Torch (made out of toys) and a rabbit hole that leads to mad tea parties in Wonderland. Don't forget to let them take a spin on the historical, century-old Woodside Park Dentzel Carousel before you leave!
