    Worth the money for young kids

    Visited with a small child and they enjoyed it. While we enjoyed ourselves, there were several interactive exhibits out-of-order. Desk and gallery staff were helpful and friendly. Worth s visit.

    Fun and educational children’s museum

    This is the perfect place to take your children on a hot summers day. We bought an annual family pass after our first visit and have been probably 10 times this year. Lots of activities for children (and adults).
