It was nothing like I expected. It was boring and a big disappointment for us all. My grandson had wanted to go there for such a long time, so we took him last fall and he was bored.

This place was a fun place to visit. We went during a recent open house and enjoyed it. There isn't too much for young kids and the whole center could be walked in an hour, even with kids. The open house was free, which is...More
