My kids had so much fun. They even got to learn about the native culture from Jamie John. They got to make native dolls and color harvesting bags. They even learned about the different colors of corn husk. They had so much fun. They ran out of time and missed out on learning about the seeds.

Great for kids who love imaginative play. My kids are 4 and 6 and they really enjoyed themselves with all of the imaginative play stations they have. If your kids have outgrown imaginative play they probably won’t have fun. Make sure you reserve tickets in advance! We didn’t and we’re first denied entry until a family happened to leave early. It was luck. They could improve by putting more information about maritime for parents to share with their kids at each station. At the helicopter add a short video or some interesting facts about helicopter rescues because to my kids it was just a helicopter to play with until I started to play with them a rescue. Same goes for the ship cabin area, to my kids it looked like a play kitchen not a part of a ship or boat. Add some information about who does the cooking in ships, how good is stored etc. Overall, my kids had a really good time for an hour. Admission prices were reasonable as well.

We had a great time. Even for a nine year old there was stuff for her to do. She read about weather, currents etc.

Everything is at the desk. Boring without having the stuff with the exhibit.
