Best time
Visit at 9am or within 2 hours before closing for the quietest experience. Arriving during these times allows for a more relaxed exploration of exhibits, especially important for families with young children or those wanting to avoid crowds.
Visitor tip
The museum is well-designed for multi-age groups. The Sprout area (0-3) and second floor have padded flooring ideal for babies and crawlers, while laser beam exhibits and the big slide appeal to older kids (ages 3-12). This makes it excellent for families with wide age ranges.
Visitor tip
Join the Birthday Club for free birthday month goodies to extend your savings. The interactive water tables, car wash area with new water vapor bubbles, and rotating seasonal exhibits (like the upcoming Monsters on Vacation opening June 23) mean exhibits change frequently, providing reasons for repeat visits.
