this is a precious little place that packs a huge punch so don't let the size fool you. however, as much as I want to overlook the following or pretend it's not a major impact on the experience because the staff here is so incredible and kind and you can tell a lot of love went into the place and each exhibit, there are three major factors that greatly affect the experience. first is I guess the smallest, but at the same time it's affected my family getting to go week after week, and that is that they are only open 2 days a week until 5:00. and one of those days is a weekday! as most of you are aware our whole country, if not the whole world, is recovering from the surprise that was covid. in other words, I get it, they can't keep the place running more than twice a week. however, the two days they have chosen to keep it open are ridiculous and I feel like there are two ways to look at the cost. if it was open regularly and they fixed what will be my second complaint than this place would be racking in money and there would be no question that they could afford to keep it running. I also think that this city, being someone that is from Philadelphia (much more diversity in cultures as well as demographics and education levels) really needs something like this to promote education and especially stem for our children. also, something that I think is overlooked by having it open on a random weekday and one day of the weekend is that people that are trying to go there and do not regularly visit (which I would assume the majority if not all of their customers fall into this category because I don't know who could afford to visit this place every week who would want to because it's very small and would get easily redundant)

The Reading Science Center currently has 45+ hands on exhibits. The center is self guided so families can explore at their own pace. A exhibit on space is currently being worked on. We are continually growing and hope to have more exhibits in these fields in the future!
