We went with our four grandchildren and we couldn't tear them away. It was also a fantastic experience for the parents and grandparents. Lots of quality time and interaction. It was so much fun the kids didn't realize they were learning. The museum is perfect for pre-K to 4/5 grade. One of the best things was the "dancing" video booth... More

My best friend and I took my daughter here and she LOVED it! There are a lot of things to do, and there was something for kids of all ages. She is only 2, I think it may have been more fun if she was closer to 4, but she still found plenty of things to have fun with. I... More

Cool displays and exhibits. Bathrooms were a little messy which might be expected with lots of children running around. More

Only half done, and pitched at a certain minimum (maybe about 7) age, such that younger kinds are lost with stuff that's too big. More

My three-year old daughter (and her parents) had a great time at this new museum. The two-story climbing structure at the entrance was great fun -- and was designed to allow parents to watch their children while allowing them to climb around freely. There were art activities and a nice variety of educational exhibits that teach children about science that... More

We stopped here for 2 hours on our drive home. My son had fun but we ran out of things for him to do since everything is geared towards much younger kids (he just turned 7). But the museum is amazing for young children. More

Went with 4 yr old grandson who has very short attention span. He loved all of the exhibits. Everything is hands on, the attention to detail is amazing. For example, the water exhibit has little aprons to keep clothes dry. There's a lot of benches for adults to rest, but are close enough to where the little ones are playing.... More

I have 2 kids ages 10 & 11. And i tell you they enjoyed every minute of being here. The entrance fee for an adult is just a little bit high. More
