Great place for families. The membership is a great deal! The Digital Dome is amazing.

Syndi S.

We took our son here! He absolutely loved it and we can't wait to go back with both of our kids. He really enjoyed looking at everything and all the hands-on activities as well.

Shelby L.

“Excellent Multi-Generational Museum” sums up my thoughts when giving this review. There's something for every age group. It is a bright, fun, educational place to spend a morning with family.

Brett J.

Attractive, well-maintained, interactive science museum complex with Dome Theater (movies and sky shows), large travelling exhibit space, impressive collection, some permanent interactive exhibits. Consistently very strong for ages 4-10. Friendly staff, reasonable membership fees with strong benefits.
