💬 What Visitors Say

• 💬Book summer camp early as spots fill quickly, and take advantage of no price increase from 2025 to lock in current rates
• 💬Plan to spend 2-3 hours allowing kids to explore multiple rooms at their own pace; the center is designed for small hands and play-based learning rather than structured exhibits
• 💡Bring hand sanitizer or use the provided sanitizing buckets for toys, especially if younger toddlers put items in their mouths, as cleanliness varies between visits
• 🕐Consider visiting on weekday mornings (especially Thursdays for Toddler Time if ages 2-5) to avoid crowds and have better access to play areas
• 💡Ideal for children under 10, particularly ages 2-5 with dedicated programs like Science Spots for Tots and Toddler Time that are less overwhelming than mixed-age exhibits
