Reviews
tripadvisorGreat place to take kids! Attended a birthday party held here. Nice facility. Lots for kids to do and try. Nice room for a group. Included in this event was an educator providing g information about a geckos and lizard and provided the opportunity to hold and/or tough one. I would recommend for elementary aged kids.
MoreI am a great believer in science education for children and I have taken my grandchildren to several science centers This one was massively disappointing. The displays were not well conceived and roughly half of them did not work. The children came away frustrated rather than excited to learn more. Hence I would recommend avoiding this center It makes science look shabby
MoreThe center has free parking. Once parked, there is a lengthy walk on a path through the trees to the center. The admission charge is small (I paid $4). The center is one large room with several hands on exhibits. It is not very large and there is nothing special about it.
MoreThis is a great little science center for kids. We stopped here on a road trip and it provided my kids (4 and 8) with 2 hours of great activities. The center is small, but it is packed with science stuff. Both my children were well entertained by the games and exhibits. We also attended the planetarium show which we all enjoyed as well. Everything here is geared toward children, no adult exhibits or activities. This science center participates in the ASTC reciprocal program, so if you are a member of another science center your family will get in for free (check the website). There is also free parking and the planetarium show was only $5 a person. Nice affordable activities!
MoreIf you have elementary school aged children you and they will enjoy this. As a senior couple versed in science we had little interest for the hands on displays. However, I have to say we both greatly enjoyed the planetarium show and that alone was worth the price of admission.
