This is just one surprise after another in this huge facility. When you visit be prepared to spend the day as your children will not want to leave. There are so many fun exhibits and enough space that you don't ever feel crowded. More

We had a one and a two year old with us and they played for several hours. With the quality and broad focus on educational interactive displays I think children of any age would benefit from a trip to this museum. Repeat visits being just as fun as the first. More

If you are two years old or if you are ten years old, there's a lot of fun in store for you here. Granddaughter from NYC enjoyed it very much. Her mother was quite impressed that we had something like this in Lincoln. You know how those New Yorkers are. More

Favorite parts are the rocket ship, face-painting, doctor's office, Fire truck and cessna airplane. In the lower level the stage and prairiedog hill are awesome! If you... More
