★★★★★FirelovefoodWe recently visited Impressions 5 Science Museum in Lansing and it was a blast for the whole family. My daughter was over the moon exploring every exhibit—she adored the water science play area and spent ages building in the block zone. The laser and light exhibits were a huge hit too. We also discovered a fun little paper plane area where she got to design a plane and fit it into these wheels to see how far it could fly. She absolutely loved that. The dental play area was another fun surprise, blending hands-on learning with a bit of imaginative play. And of course, no trip was complete without a stop at the gift shop. We found so many cool science-themed goodies to bring home. It’s a fantastic place for kids to learn through play and we’ll definitely be back soon!
★★★★★Ashley Bawol-TaylorImpressions 5 was such a great experience for my son and I. The activities are so diverse and the is something to do for everyone from small children to adults. My son particularly liked the bubble station, water area, and the room where lights are used in different ways. The building was clean, the staff was very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back!
★★★★★Lisa Marie “Ms. Sweet Tea” PrydeOH MY GOODNESS! What a fun place to visit! Took my grandson 5y/o for his birthday surprise with the great grandparents. So much to do and see. From water, bubbles to crafting, paper airplanes and baseballs, building things. It never stopped. A child can just do what children do, play. They do offer sensory times also. A lot of other children to meet and engage with if you are trying to socialize your child. We had a great time!
★★★★★Erin GroomA fun, entertaining and enlightening place to spend time whether you’re a kid, teen or an adult. So many things to do, it hard to choose what to explore next and how to fit it all in!
★★★★★Renee CHIGHLY RECOMMEND, there is so much for kids to use their minds and have fun doing to while they learn. We spent about 3-4 hours here and well worth the money. This is a great family adventure to do together and all ages will enjoy. Although, if your kids or grandkids are like mine and enjoy water you may want to bring an extra shirt, 😂. My 3 and 8 year old grandkids loved this place. And all it has to offer. There is even a sensory area upstairs which is awesome.
