Visitor tip
The ropes challenge course is a major highlight for kids ages 5+, but staff support is exceptional for anxious children. If your child is hesitant about physical challenges, the trained staff can provide encouragement and guidance to help them overcome fears.
Visitor tip
The Water Works exhibit and kitchen play areas are particularly engaging for younger children (ages 4-7). Starting with these high-engagement exhibits can help younger kids acclimate before moving to more challenging activities like the ropes course.

What visitors say
We stopped here on a road trip, and we wish we had more time! We were there for two hours, and my kids didn't want to leave. They hadn't explored everything yet. My ten year old enjoyed the ropes course and my five year old was obsessed…
My grandchildren loved it! So many activities and interactive exhibits. The kids want to go back.
Absolutely the best time with the grandkids. So impressed with the variety and skill levels of the different “stations/activities” for the kids. The facility was clean, working properly, and the staff were very nice. A special shout out…
