An amazing day! I was a little concerned as many of the more recent reviews weren’t great, but I am so glad we went ahead based on the overall score. Such a wonderful science center. I took my two boys, ages 9 and 14, who both enjoy learning with hands on exhibits and we spent four hours having fun! All of the exhibits worked, had the needed supplies, and had great signage to explain the concepts and for each one, clear and concise directions. We have visited several children’s museums and this one by far was the best kept, clean, and organized. There were volunteers in most areas that were interacting with guests, tidying up and making sure it was a safe environment . Highly recommend! Side note, we parked in the parking garage which costs an additional fee ($15 for us for four hours) but after exploring the area after, there are free public lots within a short walk if you prefer not to pay.

Perfect fun and learning for our three year old. He absolutely loved all the different hands on activities and was running from room to room to discover more. Only slight criticism would be the cost of parking ($8).

We were there 3 hours with our four year old and more or less had to drag her away. The ‘kids’ floor was really engaging for her. So much interactivity, and everything was clean and worked as intended. On top of that I loved how ‘alive’ the centre felt, with different daily talks and events, as well as staff members just dotted around with little activities for the guests to come and interact with at their leisure. Honestly, one of the best of these places I’ve been to and I’m only knocking it a star cause I imagine older kids (although there is lots to see don’t get me wrong), may not get the same experience from it. But if you have a kid up to 8 or so years old this is a no brainer. Also if anyone from the science centre reads this, you’re doing a great job!

This is located on the north side of 527 (Princeton Street) just to the east of I-4. There are some surface parking lots or a parking garage across the street for a fee. My visit cost me about $15 for parking but allowed for a 3rd-floor entrance into the Science Center. The cost for tickets was about $25/person with discounts for lots of groups (Senior, AAA, Veteran, etc). The staff was very nice throughout the center. There is a lot to see and the Cinedome (Imax-type) movies are included with the tickets on a space-available basis. There is a lot to see and most of it is focused on children and the curious. This latest visit had a makerspace called the Hive, a dinosaur exhibit, an earth/space area, a kinetic zone, and an art exhibit. I got to see the movie Journey to Space about the space shuttle. Each of the areas had a lot of hands-on parts for people to experience science, physics and mental/physical acuity. There was a lot to do and see. Overall, it was a lot of fun and I highly recommend it for visitors to the area.
