This place combines fun, learning and creativity for all age groups. The membership options are recommended instead of a daily admission ticket. Parking can be hard to find depending on the day, we didn’t face any on a Sunday!

I'm thrilled that we have such an awesome science center in our area. I have heard rumors that it wasn't well kept up but found out that it is extremely well kept up and has very awesome exhibits and shows.My kids loved it and we spent an entire day here.

Facility was clean, staff was friendly. A lot of cool exhibits, a lot of work in progress as well. Top floor is great for the kids. We will be returning to see the newer exhibits when they are complete

lots of exciting, hands-on exhibits for children [and adults]. even with several school groups, it iwas easy to navigate & didn't feel overly crowded. the imax offerings were interesting & the theater was comfortable. there are several elevators, so accessibility isn't an issue. on-site parking fills quickly, but there is plenty of street & ramp parking nearby.food & beverage options are very limited so if you have children that like to graze frequently, bring your own snacks.

While this place is definitely more geared towards kids, adults can have fun too! They have 3 floors full of different activities to teach you about all kinds of different things! There's also an IMAX theater and a Planetarium - though those do cost extra. For those with much younger kids they have a safe area with activities geared towards them. Absolutely worth the visit!

The kids had so much fun! We spent 3 hours exploring the hands on exhibits. There’s so much to do and it wasn’t crowded for a Saturday afternoon. There isn’t food available but you can door dash or walk to a spot near by and bring it back.

Great for a nice day of learning. They have changed things up a lot and I would definitely say it is more so for the younger children but we still had a blast.

This is a really great experience for kids under 15. There are some cool things to do for the older folks. There great photo opportunities here. The food is expensive. We went to the Sound Scapes planetarium show and it was geared for children under 10 which was fine, but it wasn't great. It was just being projected on the dome. It was also ridiculously hot in the whole building. I don't think their AC was turned on yet, but after a couple hours it was awful. Again, it was a cool experience for the kids.

There is small area dedicated for children under five to play and socialize. So I would say it’s more for older kids. They have an area with visual arts going on that is interactive that I really enjoyed as well as a large gaming area. Definitely a nice place for family fun even just for a couple of hours.

Absolutely worth the time and money! We attended a sensory friendly day on Saturday and our kids loved everything there. Very educational for all ages groups. The staff was friendly and kind and some where wiping things down every so often, necessary nowadays. Parking can be a headache. Very limited parking close to the building. Be aware and plan accordingly especially if you have young children.
