Wonderful place to bring the kids, young and old. We brought our 6, 8, and 13 years Olds and they all had a wonderful time. The aquarium exhibit was fantastic and had a huge variety of fish and creatures. The space and science exhibits were probably my kids' favorites because there was so much to do. Great veteran's discount, good food selection, wonderful variety of exhibits!

It was very cool. Very interesting displays and a cool show. They have things outside for the kids to play and a splash zone if they have bathing suits. Science is literally on everything they play with. Super kid friendly. Also....veterans! It is a 100% discount for up to 4 people including the vet. That was an inviting surprise. We didn't know. Loved it all around.

The science center is a new family favorite. The change the exhibits every few months, and There is always so much to do. The hand -on activities are the best. They have an outside splash park, mini golf, and a small Cafe. We have a membership. It is Definitely worth it if you go 2-3 times a year. Choose one that fits perfectly for your family. Can't wait to go back.

Very informative for all ages! We went to a birthday party. The party was in a private room for 2hours and after the kids explored the museum. The outside area was also very nice. My kids had a lot of fun at the splash area. Perfect for those who love dinosaurs!!

I've seen people bring food, but there's only a few picnic tables outside to eat. A better option, and what I've done, is pack a picnic and head across the street to Dreher park. It's a beautiful park.

Admission? Any discount coupons?

Dorothy Johnson | Mar 30, 2022
Surah-Layah Parizek | Mar 30, 2022

If you're local a year pass is awesome, admission is kind of pricey, so a year pass if you use it 3 times you've made your money back. Especially if you've got kiddos, plus you'll get free Amidon to all planetarium shows, first admission to special exhibits abs discounts on after hours activities like laser light shows, holiday events etc.

It is predominantly meant to educate children. Most of the stuff is pretty boring after the 2nd visit. The special exhibits are usually more interesting. The mini golf course is great fun for adults and children.
