"Such a great place to visit, my 15 month old loved our visit. There's so much to do as soon as you walk in. It's worth getting a membership. I'd bring her every week if we lived closer. There's stroller parking areas throughout, age appropriate areas but even the big kid activities smaller kids can easily do if they're interested in it. I'd recommended booking online and opening the email confirmation they tell you a parking garage you can park at for only $8 all day. Much cheaper than the one directly across the street from the museum."

"I love that there are always new activities and hands-on experiences to enjoy. That being said, when it gets crowded, it can be tough for kids to get a turn with some of the toys, even if they wait. Still, the staff is friendly, and there’s plenty to see and do. The newer areas are well-maintained, but some of the older exhibits could use a little upkeep. Nothing too concerning, but a refresh would make the experience even better."

"Can’t really complain because the children had a great time and there were a couple of activities that kept the adults engaged as well. For the price I thought it would be bigger , and an all day thing , but despite the fact that we were done in a couple of hours , the kids had fun even though learning was involved . Great if you have little ones ."
