How old do kids need to be to build, not just watch?

The museum lists it for families, with no age cutoff. Kids around 6 and up can do most of the building themselves; younger kids will need a parent's help.

Does the workshop ticket include museum entry?

No. The ticket covers the workshop only. To see the rest of the museum afterward, buy museum entry separately.
