Families with young children should take advantage of the need-based scholarships available for Summer Discovery Camps (June 8 - August 14) — these specialized programs offer deeper hands-on learning experiences like frog dissection classes that reviewers highly praise.

What visitors say
Was much more fun than I thought it would be. Countless interactive parts. My friend and I were playing with the building blocks till closing 😅 Definatey healed our inner child. The puzzles were fun as well
I went here on a free Thursday. That's the only day worth going, in my opinion. The tickets are not cheap and the price does not justify the number of exhibits they have! I would have been very disappointed if I had paid for my tickets!…
Fun for ALL ages. With an opened mind and a playful heart you can learn alot and be a kid at the same time. My wife and I truly had a blast. We'll be back for sure especially on Thursday. Thank you guys for an amazing experience.
