We visited with our 4yo today and had a good time. Plenty of interactive things to occupy the hands and mind! Two adults and one child $39 for about 3 hours of fun. Far cheaper than a trip to the movies and not mind and butt numbing:)

The Science Center is great for all ages! I'm pretty sure every time I've come to Des Moines, I've come here. There's always new things, like this time new giant dinosaurs and fossils, and an updated space section. But plenty of classics remain, like an area to practice milking a cow, a huge room of various physics interactions like paper rockets, a giant Lego architecture room, and a nature walk room, where they were doing the local news weather broadcast live with kids from the room. Super cool.
