  • My son and i traveled over an hour to get to the museum. He was not disappointed. We had a good time walking around in the various floors checking out the different exhibits. For some reason the second floor was steamy hot and humid maybe the AC was off? I'm sure it was just a temporary thing so we'll move on from there. They had a third floor electric show that was electrifying. It was a great time and when they asked for volunteers my son promptly jumped up which I was very surprised about. But I accompanied him and we ended up inside the cage on stage. After they turn the electricity on I could smell the ozone. certainly one for the books but I'm glad I was able to share that with my boy.
  • This is a great place for children. They have 3 floors and a basement that has a cafeteria. The activities are very interactive. On the third floor was a music and light exhibition and activities, we really enjoyed this one. Every so often in a day they have a scientist lead an experiment that children can either watch or participate. I spent a good 4 hours here. You can surely spend longer. Very educational and challenging.
