All of it is hands on and i took my two 12 year olds and they had a blast. Bring towels or skip the steam area and extra money for the train ride it was fun.
almost the entire museum is hands on. you will have a good time.
Bring good walking shoes and have fun! If you are patient, there is a butterfly sanctuary that you can walk through and get pretty close to them (my wife had some land on her shoulder). If you are more into space, they have lots of memorabilia including a moon rock, an actual Mercury capsule that went to space, a Saturn V second stage engine. Both my 11 year old and 3 year old loved it.
Do they have animals there
Very hands on!
