Is this for adults

Catherine Hoyer | Oct 24, 2018
Kris Templin | Oct 24, 2018

There are some things that adults will find fun and entertaining, but they also have several events throughout the year that are just for adults. Check their events page and look for social science nights. Edit: There is also the Chemistry of the Cocktail night with some fun involving alcohol.

Are there exhibits my 2 year old would enjoy? Would you say 2 is too young to enjoy/appreciate the museum? I took my son to the Carson children's museum and he loved it, but it is much smaller and not as crowded.

James Miller | Oct 24, 2018
Audrey Cartwright | Oct 24, 2018

It's best to go during the week with little ones. There are a lot of interactive play opportunities so while a 2 year old wouldn't get value from the exhibits they'd probably still have fun. My son is 3 and he loves the museum.
