  • As a full-time RV family we love visiting local establishments for our homeschooled children. We've visited the science center twice so far while in town. The first time we didn't visit the zoo...

  • Went with my 8 year old grandson. We enjoyed the zoo area, very unique animals and a nice outdoor walk. Aquarium was small but pretty good. Science museum area targeted a younger group. Overall fun...

  • Had a wonderful time visiting the center. It would have been better on a cooler day or maybe earlier in the morning. The kids did not enjoy the zoo part in the heat and the animals were smart staying inside. Was impressed with the amount of butterflies they had. Lots of play areas for kids to enjoy. The aquarium section had a good variety of fish and other animals to see. The dinosaur area was okay but wasn't a highlight. Pretty basic. Bonus we got to see the baby red panda they had in the hospital building. It was so adorable.
  • Our family loves our trips here. The exhibits are fantastic, and the facilities are super. There is something here for everyone in the family to enjoy. We like that there are some more unique animals and that there are lots of interactive elements to play with or on. A visit during the winter lights is also a must-do.
