★★★★★Jessica LaneTook my 5 year old and 9 year old expecting to spend an hour. We were there for 4 hours! They loved "fishing", operating construction vehicles, being a veterinarian and digging for a dinosaur skeleton. They asked to go back again as soon as we left. Definitely check out the nature walk outside. It was longer than expected and very educational!
★★★★★Jessica MatthewsMy kids were too happy playing here. Clean building considering it's for kids to play in. They had buckets for toys to be sanitized in case they decided to taste them lol. They ran from room to room just way too busy with each play area. Picked up after ourselves from each room. Best idea to let them explore!
★★★★★Kim SMy 4YO had a great time! We especially loved building rockets and launching them. She loved running through the pool noodles hanging from the ceiling in the sensory room. We did the hurricane simulator for an extra $2. We also enjoyed the boardwalk nature trail behind the building. We went on a Thursday and were literally the only ones there. Would visit again!
★★Amanda SExtremely filthy. Everything is covered in layers of filth. It's really run down and not taken very well care of. They charge for adults which is insane to me. There needs to be priority into keeping things clean, the blocks were completely torn to shreds. I'll add some photos of the boat and "fish", I would definitely avoid this place. There was an okay amount to do but its not worth getting sick over.
★★★★★Laura BrusterSuch a great science center. I recommend for 10 and under, but my 5 year old son had a BLAST! Not overwhelming or over stimulating, instead made for small hands and for play!
