Very user friendly for my 4 year old grandson and many friends children I have taken there! Very family friendly and I understand they plan to expand.

We bring our three year old here about once a month and we stay about 1-2 hours. Anymore than that, she will only play for 20 minutes and wants to go. Same boring activities, not much rotation, staff not very involved.

We took our 10 year old here and found it entertaining for a couple hours. It's definitely not someplace you would spend a whole day, but if you've got kids who need to blow off some steam when it's not park weather, this is a good choice. And we did learn a thing or two.

The good thing about this place is that the kids can touch and interact with all the exhibits. It's a great learning experience and I promise you will learn a few things you didn't know! It's a pretty basic set up but if you take your time to explore each exhibit you should have a time. I had no complainers... More

I wasn't sure if my kids (13 and 10) would find it interesting for long, but once there they were hooked on many of the activities for hours. Then the adults got in the fun, and we had to pull ourselves away. It was great too that it wasn't too crowded even on a weekend.

This is a great setting for families to have low key fun and allow the kids some freedom to roam. It offers something for all ages from bubbles to science exhibits.

This is a great place to take kids. The theme changes and there are interactive attractions. The gardens outside are great as well. You can learn a lot.

This museum is small but has a lot packed into it. I went last when it was rented out for a party. What a great idea. All adults playing like children with cocktails in hand. I have been on Earth Day too with the general public. Always a good time.

A really nice surprise, with tons of hands on educational play for kids from 2-12+! The bubble room is awesome. So is the building room.

Had a great day at Ashland Scienceworks. Awesome kids place. Clean and great staff. Great kids museum in our backyard. Perfect rainy day place to bring the family. Every room was better and better. Bubble room was everyone's favorite. So good that we bought a season pass. We've been twice this week.
