Bobbie Trolio3 months agoOutstanding experience. We did a dome show, and it was amazing! We will definitely be back to see the rest of this building. They have a full ship you can do a tour on also. Parking was very easy, right under the building. It was $10 for the events, but I think it is less just to park for the center itself. They also have a food court and vending machines.
Jason Goudy4 months agoGreat exhibits, lots to do for all ages, even moms and dads. From ancient tech to a futuristic AI exhibit; it has lots to experience. The cafeteria isnt too bad, prices are ok. It gets 4 stars due to the amount of exhibits that were both "temporary out of service" (the energy room) and exhibits that weren't marked but didn't work (strobe light and water), and all the items that were broken (guitars). 2 adults, a 2.5 yr old, and a 6 month old costs 65$...all exhibits need to be working.
Kelly Kirk5 months agoOverall: 3/5 stars Employees: Employees were the best part!! Darqwan at the movie theatre was so kind and helpful. Then, the gentleman giving presentations on space food during my visit (early afternoon of 1/18/26) created such an immersive image of what daily life is like for an astronaut. I wish there were MORE employees around, to explain exhibits and make sure they are being used properly by kids and adults. Theatre: Theatre was cool! Otter movie was adorable. Exhibits: The exhibits they had were nice, mostly tabletop stuff. Just felt like they were missing something. An art room, a room for experiments or building, a room about lights with cool visuals on the walls, but they didn't have any of that. A lot of the space is used for cafeteria style seating. Overall just lacked the "wow factor" so many other science museums have and didn't feel interactive or tactile enough. Visit Time: If you are going on a Saturday, expect lots of kids learning/ playing. I embraced it, as I visited with no children and knew what I was getting into lol. Again, wish there were more employees to keep an eye out and make sure exhibits are being used properly. I stepped in a few times to explain it was one kid at a time for safety reasons or that it was kind to wait your turn and let the kid in front of you finish. Things like this are typically geared towards children and benefit greatly by having more supervision. Parking: Parking was super easy with the connected parking deck! Price: a little too pricey for what was being offered, but still had an okay outing for the day.
Birute S. V.4 months agoAmazing place for kids, so so many activities, kids can make things at home. Bernoulli blower we found at home- just need to have balloon at home and blowing air circulation system! Amazing! Renewal of kids play area. You can invest in membership the $, and come all year long with kids for free.
Anoop Anush5 months agoHonestly, I was really impressed with this museum. It’s a bit off the beaten path, but I’m so glad we found it. It’s well Worth the price of admission.The staff were really friendly, and my kid loved it. We’ll definitely come back next time.
