💬 What Parents Say

• 💡Pick up the included Compendium Explorer Field Guide at entry and use it to find all 100+ animal species and locate the hidden Gilly the Goldfish characters throughout the installation—this transforms the visit into an engaging scavenger hunt, especially for kids 8+.
• 💡Plan 30-45 minutes for your visit as an adult explorer; younger children (2-5 years old) may complete it in 15 minutes. Factor in gift shop time if you plan to browse.
• 🕐Weekends and nice weather days are quieter than expected at this venue, making it easy to explore without crowds. The MAX transit location provides convenient parking-free access.
• 💡Best suited for children ages 8 and older who can appreciate the educational content and complete the creature hunt booklet; younger children may find it too short for the admission cost.
• 💡Book as a group of 20+ people to access group discounts, or inquire about private event bookings for birthday parties and art classes across the three locations.
