My kids ask to go to this place more than the space and rocket center. This exhibits change out every-now-and-then, so you can go a couple of times during the year and see different things. They also have special days out of the month where they have special events.

I loved every part of this museum. I am a button pusher, so I loved the "hands on" aspect. I learned a lot while I was there by being able to "see" it all in action. Very enjoyable!

Perfect place to take kids on cold rainy day or real hot day. It has an app for coupons too. Not expensive. Had many different things for my 5 & 8yr old to do that they found interesting. At the back of the left side are 3 big screens, kids got to play volleyball on the screen by jumping in... More

The place seems to be temporary, and many of the exhibits are showing some wear. But my family had a blast. No one was bored! They practically ran from one interactive exhibit to the next and each time we turned around, it seemed we found something we had overlooked. Highlights: A giant sized "operation" game with tongs and big rubber... More

I was raised up going to Sci-Quest. Now I take my kids and feel like I am a kid again. The amount they have grown is unreal. They have tons to do, hands on science. It is a definite must see for the whole family.

This is a great place for a rainy or cold day. You can let the kids loose and let them have a great time. I usually learn something too!

A great family outing! We liked the "get your hands dirty" magnets and dust, building with iron shavings and magnets. Also, the "tornado" and the earthquake... don't miss them! We were part of a small private dinner party. The food was privately catered and it was delicious, like a Thanksgiving buffet with homemade carrot cake. The children really enjoyed dinner... More

The museum is entirely hands on and my 4-year old daughter loved it! There are some exhibits that are geared for older children but she didn't care and wanted to try everything- and that's ok to do there! It's not the cleanest place we've visited and there were some exhibits with missing parts, etc, but it was definitely worth the... More

This museum is totally hands on and focuses on really neat science information for kids of all ages. Our preschool age kids really loved it and were playing there for hours.

Lot's of interesting thinks to experiment with. The children and the adults had fun trying out all the neat "stuff." We went early morning and were the only family there. We had great fun and spent much longer than planned. It was worth time.
