★★★★★Trucker SlothI attended my daughter's class trip to this location. The staff was amazing and the exhibits are awesome. It's a VERY handson type of place. The kids loved it, and my daughter immediately asked me if we could come back again on our own, so she'd have more time to play and learn.
★★★Sabra WellsI wanted to love it soooooo much. The planetarium was everything, for my kids age 12 and 8 it was just a little underwhelming. That being said, it was spring break so it was very busy and we probably didnt get to do a lot of the things that we might have otherwise.
★★★★★Jon OngIf you’re looking for a way to bond with your family (ionic or covalent, take your pick), the Michigan Science Center is the absolute solution. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the potential energy in the room; the staff has incredible chemistry with the audience, and the live demonstrations are truly sublime. I tried to learn about the electricity exhibits, which were shockingly informative, though I’d tell you a joke about the vacuum display, but it sucks. Whether you’re exploring the stars in the planetarium—I tried to throw a party there, but I couldn't planet—or diving into the physics of motion, the experience is a 10 on the pH scale (totally basic fun, but with high energy). Don’t be inert and stay home; visiting this museum is a matter of great importance, and I’m positive (like a proton!) that you'll have a blast.
