My daughter loves this place, she also had a birthday party there. There's many things for children to do indoors and outdoors. The staff is nice, and we always have fun there. Overall a wonderful place. :-) More

We stopped here to get out of the heat (initially had plans to visit another day). It was great! The activities are quite fun, even for adults and we ended up staying way past the time we intended since the kids didn't want to leave. More

Great place to take kids who like to touch and experience things hands-on. My son's favorites were the police motorcycle he could sit on and the crime wall. More

My great-grandson (5 yrs old) had a ball there. The displays are mostly interactive, and many are interesting to adults, also. More

The best part of the museum was bodyology. It was interactive and this was very fun for all ages; I attached a picture. Much of the ocean discovery center was not working or broken. The dinosaur exhibit was informative. They also have a fire truck and police motorcycle that they can climb in and play on. They don't have many... More

Both my 16 month old toddler & my three year old preschooler were over-powered & viciously attacked by the same much older & larger bully today.

It's really small and is really crowded. There needs to be more supervision and clean up. There is a dearth of stuff... More
