What visitors say
So much fun, very interactive! We went for my daughter's Birthday. She had a blast! Very accessible, I use a cane. Plenty of seating near every exhibit. Highly recommend!!
Excellent time. We brought my 14m old daughter and 14 year old nephew. They both had a good time. Highly recommend. It is handicap accessible, and has 3 floors of adventures for the kiddos.
I really enjoy the Candlelight concerts! They are affordable, last only an hour, the artists are SO talented, and the music is beautiful!!! The ones I have gone to are current, popular songs/groups performed in a classical setting…
