I have taken my four children to the ASC a couple of times and they love it. The last time we went, we took out of town guests so we had a total of 7 kids, ages 15 months to 10 years and they all had a great time. We spent hours there. More

this is the place to go if you have kids in the 4-8 age range. Lots to do and see, easy access for the kids to be engaged and without constant parental intervention. More

Really enjoyed this science center. Great fun for our 3.5yo son. Loads of stuff to do and learn as you play. Hands-on activities that keep the little ones busy and cool stuff to learn for the older kids. Really enjoyed the Body Works - boys loved the learning about farts! More

We went for the planetarium. It is housed in this small, hands in science center for children. Wasn't the best planetarium. Lower quality, price was high, as you had to pay science center admission to "add on" the planetarium More

I felt like the museam itself was geared more for ages 6 and up. However, the planetarium was great for 3 and up. More

We have been many times, and my kids never get tired of going. It is so much fun, full of learning and adventure. However it is extremely hard to keep track of your kids there. But the staff is well equipped to help find anyone, and are extremely professional! More
