  Great location that’s impressive from the outside but incredibly underwhelming once inside. The museum is geared towards preschool aged children with plenty of things to play with but short on actual science activities. The $10 admission grants your child access to enter a day care center like space supplied with a few educational toys and semi functioning interactive displays. If your child is more than 5 or actually has questions you’re better off visiting Birmingham, Nashville or Memphis. It’s great the area has this resource but it has the feel of a tired, half-realized attraction that peaked before it was completed. It would be great if there were more displays and activities that reflected a partnership with UNA’s college of Arts & Science rather than a toy supplier unloading surplus inventory.
