💬 What Visitors Say
- Start at the 3D printing lab first thing and reserve your spot early, then explore other exhibits while you wait for your print to complete - this maximizes your time and prevents long waits later in the day
- Plan to spend 3-4 hours to experience the full range of exhibits across all age levels. The arts and crafts room and sensory room are particularly popular, so arrive early to avoid crowding in these areas
- Use the parking lot on the one-way street behind the facility for $7 all-day parking instead of metered street parking - it's a better value and provides guaranteed access throughout your visit
- Bring coats and use the provided lockers in winter, as the facility has a cold walk-around environment. The sensory room is valuable for children who experience sensory overload from the interactive exhibits
- With admission at $10 for adults and roughly $10 per child, memberships may offer good value if you plan multiple visits - consider membership ROI given the variety of exhibits and regular new additions mentioned in reviews
