This is such a great place for kids 10 and under. It's not too expensive and it has exhibits inside and out. My son and I did a little reminiscing today.

★★★★Jen Greenstreet

Fun experience. We paid extra to ride the train and my 3yr old loved it. We did not pay for the special exhibit. I was a bit surprised that was extra given the price of the tickets. The indoor setup is nice. Lots of activities. Bathrooms everywhere. Great outdoor play area with picnic tables.

Visiting family for a big celebration with many people from out of town. Some with young children like myself so we were looking for something to do before heading back home. It was a Sunday morning and The EcoTarium was an awesome choice. Quick & easy to get to, pay right as you're pulling in which is convenient (nice in cold weather to be in car not have to wait outside). No wait after we parked & walked to the door. Soo many different things to look at and learn with 3 floors. We didn't have much time to experience all of the outside or the shows but it was a great day. I would totally recommend it and can't wait to go back.
