Liberty Science Center

Over the years, I’ve visited Liberty Science Center with my daughter and always had a great time. It had been over six years since our last visit, but now that we’re back in Jersey City, we knew we had to take our youngest—and it didn’t disappoint! While much of the center felt familiar (in the best way), there were some updates, including what seemed to be a new exhibit about the Blue Whale. It was perfect for all ages—engaging and easy for our 5-year-old to understand, yet still interesting for the adults. We also participated in a hands-on experiment about matter, which was adorable and super inspiring for the kids. Since coming home, our son has been excitedly exploring new science experiments on his own. What a win! The rock wall remains a favorite, and of course, we all had to go through the touch tunnel. The sock skating rink at the entrance was a fun addition, and the kids loved it. The gift shop was also worth a stop—typical museum pricing but good options for usable souvenirs and great book selection. Overall, Liberty Science Center continues to be a fantastic spot for family fun and learning. Highly recommend it for a day of exploration and memories!

GIANT FUN LEARNING CENTER FOR KIDS 👧🏻 This is a massive space for kids elementary school age to explore and learn in a fun environment. Best for ages 4-10 years old. The planetarium 🪐 is amazing and there are fun robotics and live animals. The price is high but it’s a great place to go once in a while especially during cold winter months where playing outside isn’t an option. Highly Recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were expecting to stay here for 2/3 hours with our 3 kids (9 and under), we ended up staying for 6 till they closed. They have so much going on and the kids could not get enough. We went through each exhibit and the next day they asked to go back! 💯 Worth it!

One of the best Science centers I have been to… fun experiments kids would love it. Should visit all the floors every floor has got something amazing adventurous…

I recently visited the Liberty Science Center with my family, and I have to say, our experience was extremely disappointing. The center boasts a play space (Wobbly World) for little ones, which sounded perfect for our family. However, upon arrival, we discovered that children taller than 41 inches are not allowed inside the play area. This policy turned our visit into a nightmare. We have children spaced several years apart, (15 month old twins and a 12 yr old) and the restriction meant that our older child couldn't join us in the play space. Unfortunately, leaving them unattended outside the play area wasn't an option either. How is this family-friendly? The center's setup essentially punishes families who don't have "perfectly spaced" aged children. We paid a steep $103 for admission, only to feel frustrated and excluded. It's unreasonable to expect parents to manage their kids under these circumstances. Liberty Science Center needs to reconsider its policies to accommodate all families, regardless of their children's ages and sizes. Until then, I cannot recommend this place to anyone with children who aren't close in age.
