I'm proud to know this is in our local area. It's not just for kids either. Adults will be just as excited to walk and learn in this spectacular building. Always a cool change to escape the hot summer days. Clean, well maintained and friendly staff always!

We recently visited the Exploreum while passing through Mobile. We spent about three hours there but could have definitely spent many more. Our favorite part was the Sherlock exhibit.
