Interactive science museum. Science & technology museum presenting interactive exhibits & temporary exhibitions.
💬 What Parents Say
- Consider an annual membership ($27 per person) if visiting multiple times—it pays for itself in just 3-4 visits compared to standard admission (~$85 annually). Ideal for grandparents or regular visitors who can drop in for 1-2 hours or full days.
- Plan to spend 2-4 hours exploring. The venue offers enough variety that visits can be flexible—some days you'll stay an hour, other days much longer. Many members bring lunch and stay extended periods.
- Don't miss the NASA room and robotics exhibits—these are highlighted as visitor favorites. Check the events calendar for special programming like 'Bubble Days' and 'Storytelling' sessions, plus DIY workshops (Insect Hotel, String Art, Spaceship Invention) that add educational value.
- The water play area and climbing structures are popular with young children, while interactive exhibits and puzzles engage older kids. The variety makes it genuinely fun for multi-age groups, from toddlers to school-age children.
- Bring a small cooler or lunch bag if planning a longer visit—members note this prevents having to run out to the car with multiple children. There's currently no dedicated storage for bags, so pack accordingly.
