Fun for the whole family- just a wonderful place! Been for special events (the book release part for the final Harry Potter book), school trips, & just family outings.

Interactive adventures are the theme at this exciting complex which includes ScienceQuest, with hands-on science fun; an IMAX dome theater; Just Mice Size, where tots under 6 learn, build and express themselves creatively; World of Water, with creatures from around the world and the amazing HighCycle, which gives you the thrill of a tightrope ride without the danger.

I never get tired of visiting. There are great hands-on exhibits PLUS there is a live educational program every 30 minutes or so. They let children participate in science experiments and they even have animals that children can sometimes pet. AWESOME!

I wish the woman at the ticket counter would have told us that there was nothing inside for adults! It is expensive to get in at $12 each adult. If you have kids this might be fun but the price is still to high. I am not sure if the dino bones were real or just constructed to look real???...

My grandchildren loved this. My husband and I went here many years ago before we had grandchildren and we loved it, too. I cannot imagine any child not finding this exciting.
