★★★★★Dan DellapentaWe saw the immersive experience Beautifica there. It was awesome. I highly recommend it.
★★★★JP LarsWhat an amazing high-school, with amazing science center. We saw Beautifica. At times it seemed like a giant screen-saver for your megabucks computer. But overall the experience was enjoyable.
★★★★★Luis OrtizIt was such an impressive structure & rich with knowledge from the greats of scientific knowledge.
★★★★★Letty GatewoodIt is an extremely pleasant experience with a dome screen and surround sound. It is a really good place to learn and fun for kids, too.
★★★★★Penny AndersonCharles County, Maryland has a secret weapon- a resource center for students and teachers alike! The James E Richmond Science Center is even open to the public on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. It is a geography student's dream with an interactive Science on the Sphere that can project all kinds of global images representing a variety of geographic information. There is also a planetarium and activity stations. This was a fantastic place to review for the upcoming AP human geography exam.
