“Don't miss the museum”

McWane Science Center

Mar 31, 2004
9/9 found this review helpful

We had a great time here: IMAX theatre, interactive exhibits and a nifty marine life collection in a setting that didn't seem crowded even though the place was busy. We caught a Titanic exhibit that was exceptionally well done. Hint:order your IMAX tickets in advance. This spot draws groups and if we'd not already had tickets, it might have been tight. Also, when you buy your admission, be sure to get a parking token. Our host knew what a hassle it can be to get out of the parking garage without a token and remembered to buy one. The car leaving ahead of us wasn't prepared and seemed pretty frazzled taking care of it.
