Basically meant for kids, but also geared toward adults so they are not extremely bored. It covered all sorts of different types of science and you would have to be dead not to find some sort of thing that interested you. For sure worth every penny!

First off, it's really a cool place if you're a kid. It's just simply not that entertaining as an adult. Plus, it's pretty spendy.

We kept coming back so ended up just becoming members. It makes science fun, for the whole family. They have things for all ages, children through adult. Well worth the visit.
