★★★★★Danni DukarskiAlways a great time at science central. Tons of hands on learning and fun for all ages! Usually ends up being a 2-3 hour visit.
★★★★★Meghan McCormickWe were in town for sports and decided to take the kids to do thos between games. It was a perfect place for our little ones to go and play to burn energy between sitting at games. It was clean. The staff was friendly and what was nice is that it's really well laid out so you can easily make it take as short or as you need. Highly recommend. Im also not easily pleased by most childrens places and have high standards so to give this a 5 star is a big deal.
★★★★★Stephanie JimenezHad a little family outing on a cold Saturday and this did not disappoint, as a minimally planned outting. All my kids (24, 21, 13, and 8) found things that were interesting to read, try, build, and experiment with. The price was well worth the value and we had plenty to do for the 3 hours we stayed. We could have stayed longer had we not gotten hungry and chose to leave for food. Recommend buying tickets online in advance for a small discount, however the price is only $1 more per person if you choose not to.
★★★★Ashley LaroucheLots to .do for older kids (7 and up or so) depending on your child's maturity.. i have a 1& a half year old &a 4& a half year old.. they do have a play area for the little ones though. Just harder for them to actually do most of the exhibits. But me & dad had fun 😁 😂
★★★★★J Santiago Sr.Great place to visit, especially with little ones. My wife , her daughter and I brought the grandson to explore the place. It was exciting for him because of the variety of hands-on activities and exhibits. It’s also educational experience for kids including adults. I believe they had a snack area- can’t remember if they sold food but I do remember the vending machines. Recommend going.
