Visitor tip

What visitors say
If I could give 0 stars I would, it’s absolutely insane to say your an interactive kids museum and then have photos of records on the walls and the only interactive piece was outside of it an didn’t require a ticket purchase to say it…
We've been here before, so I knew where to park but the GPS did NOT know and kept telling us to drive around to the back for some reason. Staff is incredibly helpful and available to answer questions. We arrived at 11 AM on a wed so no…
Not as much stuff to do or see as the Rainforest pyramid or the Aquarium pyramid. There is a very small shark exhibit upstairs and a 4D theater downstairs. I wouldn’t pay for this on its own. The 4D movie will be great for kids.
