It really was a fun experience, but not sure my kids got the most out of it. My daughter, 5 years old, and my son, two years old, were probably just a bit too young to experience everything the center had to offer. My son was terrified of the dinosaurs, but got a kick out of the virtual reality "sports"... more

While on vacation in June, my wife and I took our young children (ages 7 and 3) to the Adventure Science Center--and were glad that we did. It's a very "hands-on" museum, not unlike New Jersey's own Liberty Science Center, and the kids enjoyed our visit quite a bit. The admission prices were pretty reasonable in relation to the "fun... more

My family and I love this place. We visit here often throughout the year. We have a lot of fun on the giant learning hands on Adventure tower playground (Love the view of Nashville from the top). Would like to see new exhibits more often, but for someone visiting from out of town or a first timer its top notch.... more

I took my 2-1/2 year old daughter here late on a Saturday afternoon. Even though it was freezing cold, late in the day and January it was crowded. I'm willing to bet in the summer they get crazy busy. In the center they have a learning jungle gym thing. There's all sorts of stuff for kids to climb up, slides... more

My husband was on business in Nashville and we went with him so I decided to take the kids there. First of all, my plan was to stay close by and just walk there. I would not recommend that if you have small children. Nashville's downtown is slowly improving but to walk to the museum you have to pass several... more

We really liked this. This had a ton of interactive exhibits to teach kid's science. We learned some things too. We spent at least 5 hours there. This included the planetarium, which I would skip if you seen one of these before. This museum is affiliated with many others around the country (such as Chicago's children museum) which allows free... more
