So much fun!!! Fun for all ages and all interests. We spent over 4 hours here with a group ranging from 4 years old to over 80 years old - and we all had a BLAST!! And talk about service - amazing!! Thank you for such a great time!!
Great for kids building little minds & adults needing a occupational skill touch up!
Great places to build children's creativity and help them with learning and innovation. I brought my daughter here and she enjoyed all the activities. Their activities range from biology to engineering to music.
Teeny tiny little powerhouse of a science museum. We loved the mess menu that included activity kits for the kids to do. I don't think I've ever seen such a small yet mighty museum. Got in free with our ASTC travel membership but made sure to buy a bunch of stuff from their gift corner including some take home mess kits! Keep up the good work guys!
This place is wonderful!!! The staff are all super helpful! The science experiments and hands on learning stations are great for all ages, my 4 and 6 year old had a blast and my husband and I did too!! We will definitely come back when in the area.
This place was awesome! My 5 yo had a blast. My 2 yo enjoyed the river. We were here for two and a half hours and did science experiments the whole time!! Great activity for a windy beach day. Can't wait to stop by next year and see what new things we can get into when we can read ourselves. Thank you to the awesome staff who was there to answer any questions and to suggest new mess kits for us to try out. My oldest even asked for more supplies to make her own creation. Loved it! Great stop!!
This place is truly great for all ages! Just keep in mind that some activities may only engage really young children for only so long before they are ready to move on to the next thing, however, there is enough to do for all ages. I went with our nieces ages 6 & 14 & our 20 year old daughter and all of them had fun. There are optical illusion things to try out, a little room with an abundance of slides to place under a microscope that shows you what you see on a screen on the wall, lots of activities even within this room. The bigger area has different activities that vary from wind tubes, table with water, sand, & rocks so our girls were able to create a dam, marble run was the mist time spent with the youngest two & loads of fun, & activity craft table with an abundance of options of crafts you can do as a family! Visit their website to see complete listing of activities and for only $10 per person (they also have military discount) was amazing for this SUPER educational place to go. One hour is NOT enough time to get through everything and we will be going back. Next time I'm taking my hubby because this is all right up his alley, but seriously just so much fun. If you like to watch "how this is made" or things that explain science-related facts, this is a fun, hands-on way to learn at ANY age. It's 1 floor, room for stroller, tables/chairs to sit down if need to rest, & friendly/helpful staff. Seriously, so fun!
We took the little one when he was 4 and he had a blast! It was fun for the whole family though, not just for kids. There was SO much to do and worth every penny to help them stay up and running!
