An excellent place for all ages! It was extremely fun for all of us. The exhibits were very educational. They have at certain times a scientist come out and give a lecture. Ours was on the eye being dissected. The instructor was wonderful. She held my children's attention and it wasn't that bad! I recommend this attraction to EVERYbody! more
