Great museum for our 4 and 6 year olds to explore. Role play in the pretend supermarket, giant ambulance or mail office. Colour in dinosaurs among the fossils. Explore science with lights, marble runs and enchanting physics demos. Everyone wants to try the bed of nails. Great astronomy displays. Two courtyards let you make giant bubbles outside or play in the play park. Reasonable cafe with burgers, pizza, salads and sandwiches. Rancher history section was engaging. Interesting planetarium show.

There is so much to do here! We had the best time!! The kids really enjoyed the dinosaur exhibits and planetarium. There are so many fun hands on things for the kids to experience. Highly recommend spending an afternoon here!

You'd have to become a "member". Membership gives you free admission and other perks depending on the level you choose. You also get free parking and go through a shorter line to get in. We'll worth the cost of you plan on going several times in a year.
