  • Very neat place! They have a variety of activities for kids to play and interact with. We saw the show on Mt. Everest it was a cool story. We didn't look at everything, we'll have to come back...

  • We greatly enjoyed our visit. A bonus was that we received a reciprocal admission discount by virtue of our hometown science museum membership--check to see if your local children's/science museum...

  • I’ve been here a couple times and the interactive exhibits are great fun to play with, even for adults. This is definitely not your typical look and read museum. Almost all of the exhibits in here are engaging in some way. The flight simulator however was hands down my favorite thing in the museum. I probably spent a little too much time at that particular exhibit. Great place to come with kids or to awaken your inner child with friends.
  • Exploration place is a wonderful place for kids with lots to do regardless of the child’s age. We brought a 9 month old and two year old and both children were entertained. There is a section for ages five and under that kept both children busy for at least an hour. There was a castle section with a castle to explore, a knight, and fake animals to sit on. The two year old really enjoyed exploring that. There was also a section that explored possible careers as well. It had a medical helicopter that was the two year old absolutely loved. All in all we enjoyed the experience. The kids fell asleep as soon as we got back to the car. I would definitely recommend visiting when you have some time.
