What visitors say
Took a 3,8 and 10 year old. Each had an amazing time. There was so much to do and they didn't want to leave even after 7 hrs of playing. Did both the Tesla show and the space shows. So entertaining and worth the extra price. Great…
Lots of engaging and interactive displays good for all ages. Really enjoyed the Tesla Coil and Time and Space exhibits, was a fun way to spend a few hours and soak in some scientific knowledge!
In town from Austin. We've got our own science / children's museums of course and the Mid-America Science Museum puts ours to shame. One of the best I've ever taken the kids to. Fantastic blend of interactive exhibits and outdoor areas.…
