Visitor tip
The toddler area is well-developed with dedicated spaces for younger children. If visiting with babies or toddlers, prioritize this area early in your visit when energy levels are highest.
Visitor tip
Start from the top floor and work your way down. Multiple visitors noted that each subsequent floor had something 'even MORE exciting,' so this strategy maintains engagement and excitement throughout your visit.
Visitor tip
Check the museum's closure dates before planning (Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and Christmas are closed). Consider summer camp or home school programs like 'Egg-streme Engineering' or 'H2OMG! Physics Day' for more structured learning experiences.
