Impression 5 Science Center, Lansing

This place is awesome! We made a trip to Lansing largely so we could bring our 20 month old daughter here, and I feel it was an excellent choice. While many of the activities are suitable for all ages, there is an entire toddler section which is designed specifically for them. That's where we ended up spending most of our time. They have a great water table and a couple play structures that were very fun. Everything is very clean and well maintained, and the staff was great. The toy store also features many of the toys they are able to play with which I actually loved because we basically got to test the toys first to make sure she liked them and we didn't have to take a $40 gamble on a plastic train.

Wonderful place to bring the study of science into your child's life. My grand children love coming and try different things each time. Ages are 2 to 9yrs. Such a variety. A family membership is a great price and can be given as a holiday gift . There's a 4 and under playroom that had so many different activities. Many things for older children are also doable by the younger kids. Special events come to the museum for a few weeks. It's The Wild Kratts now. There's also classes that are age appropriate but cost extra (reasonably priced). I would rank a 5 if there was a turnover of new activities a little more often especially for those of ages 4 to about 7. The vending area is on hold now. Great place and usually spend 3 hours there at least.
