★★★★★Tiffany WhitlowWe recently hosted our son Ace's 3rd birthday party at the McWane Science Center in Birmingham, and I cannot recommend this place enough! If you are thinking about booking a party or just planning a family day trip, do yourself a favor and book it right now. There is so much hands-on, engaging, and genuinely cool stuff to do that it is easily more than a whole day’s worth of fun. The kids were completely locked in and living their best lives, and honestly, the adults had just as much fun as the toddlers. The facilities are fantastic, the staff was wonderful, and it was the perfect, high-energy environment for a milestone celebration. We will definitely be back. Run, don't walk, go book your visit!
★★★★★RC StoudenmireWe love the McWane Center! Great for kids and toddlers- young children have a full playstation! Great for a day out! Offers IMAX Theatre as well. It is a must see! Cool fossils found in Alabama as well. Trust me, you will enjoy it just as much as the kids!
★★★★★Laura BrusterThis place was awesome! My five year old loved the indoor playground on the 2nd floor. It has so many interactive activities, we could have been there all day long!
★★★★★Rosemary SnukisMy grandchildren: 6, 4 and 20 months old, loved this museum! We were visiting from Virginia and NC and looking for entertainment during Thanksgiving weekend. We found it here! The kids didnt want to leave after 3 hours! There was a car you could work on like a mechanic, a restaurant to serve patrons, a huge playground, and stingrays to pet. But, after visiting all 3 floors, the adults were ready to go home. We would definitely return when we come back to Birmingham!
★★★★★Tiffany ConleyMy daughter went here for her field trip of course I was a chaperone, but my group all had fun. There's so much to enjoy and learn at mcwane, we even watched a movie in the imax theater they have,plan on being there all day if you go, cause there's 4 floors on fun filled exciting things to do.
