My family went on Sunday. Our kids are 4,6,8 & 11. I can really see how people can say they didn't like it or that their kids were bored, etc. But my kids all LOVED it. I really recommend that you wait until your child is in elementary school to go because a lot of the exhibits are hands-on and... more

This science center was better than I thought especially after reading the mean spirited reviews. It’s a non-profit so I think being more open minded would help. With that said it’s expensive, hence some of the hostility. The best exhibit was the newest one involving weather and volcanoes. It gives you the feel of what it’s like to be in... more

I have been to many museums and this was by far the worst one. A very big disappointment. My wife and I just got back with our two children ages 6 and 4. We have been to other museums, Franklin Institute in Philly PA, Children's Museums in Pittsburgh. The Crayola Factory in Easton PA was worth the trip. Lot's of... more

On the first floor there was a ticket booth but it was a long wait . There was a skyscraper and a dentist corner were there were games, prizes,balloons and arts and crafts. On the second... more

The potential is there...they have a great building with interesting architecture and a lot of space, problem is most of the space is empty. It seems like a someone just randomly put exhibits with no real thought or creativity. The exhibits themselves were horrible except for the skyscraper room…If someone from the museum reads this review, please you can do... more

Our family visited the Liberty Science Center on 12/30/08 - it was terribly crowded and some of the individual exhibits were closed due to high demand. In several of the laboratories there were only a few people in them, yet the lab would not accept any more reservations for that day. This was definitely not worth the money for us... more

I will prefix this by saying we are a HUGE science loving family and we really enjoy many of the local museums (i.e. Hall of Science in Queens). We had been to Liberty Science before the renovations on many occasions and thought it was a great place. Both adults/kids were entertained by the exhibits/great shows and the hands-on learning when... more

The first time I brought the grandkids to the Center was nearly 15 years ago. At that time I vowed never to go back. However, the Center was renovated, costing millions, and I decided to take more grandkids. My guess is that there were over 30 busloads of kids from camps there (same as my first encounter). Most of them... more

I am a scientist and from NJ so you would think I would enjoy this museum but after attending many museums in the U.S. I have to admit it is a disappointment. This begins the moment you walk in. They recently enlarged the museum by adding an extension. However this only adds a new entrance and one exhibition room -... more

The Museum's website says: Looking for something that’s not here? That seems to be a very bad joke! “something that’s not there” ??? OH, YES! Politeness towards visitors! In our case: a group of Austrian students. The Museum's website also says: Try our helpful Guest Services staff. We could not find this type of people in the Liberty Science Museum.... more
