We went here on a slow day in the fall & it ended up being one of my favourite parts of my trip to Florida! My Mumsy & I stopped here on our road trip, even as adults we had fun, it was pretty big & had lots of different areas to explore. Feeding the stingrays ($3, totally worth it)... More

We visited today with our son/daughter-inlaw, and our 2 year old grandson. 2 yr old gets in free. We are over 55 and they allowed us a senior discount AND they allowed us to also use our AAA card. Great savings. This place is very hands-on and interactive. Our grandson enjoyed looking at the many small animals and petting stingrays.... More

This place is awesome. It has so much to do. There is a really cool pretend restaurant where the kids can pretend to be the chef, the server, and the cashier. There is all kinds of places to explore. We were in there for hours. There was little areas for my 9 month old to crawl that were padded and... More

They have a touch tank for the little ones to touch sting rays, and a really cool fish pond in the back where you can feed their enormous koi, swans, and turtles. They have a huge room they could make much better use of than 6-7 outdated dinosaur video games, but overall this is the best place to bring the... More

We went to the imaginarium with a 3 and a 4 year old, very little for them to do, baby area was too young and other areas were not age appropriate for 5 and under.Very pricy to pet a stringray, feed fish and look at reptiles in cages.

So we decided to check out the 'Imaginarium' today. I had no idea really what to expect. When we got there it looked like someone took a large blue paint brush to an old water treatment plant. Overall it cost us $33 for two adults and one child. Not too bad compared to some places. When you first get there... More

We were looking for something to do on a stormy day and found out about this place. My on,y regret was that we didn't drag the kids out earlier to be able to spend more time here. We travelled from Sanibel to get here and it took a while longer than expected. When we arrived there was ample parking but... More

Good place to visit on a rainy day to give the kids some time to touch anything the see. We got in free from a reciprocal agreement with our hometown museum.

Recycled water treatment plant that has been converted to give kids a hands-on fun learning experience. We loved the fish pond and the hurricane tunnel. Nice restaurant and gift shop.
