What an amazing place! Be sure to spend a little extra and see the show; the "professor" does a fantastic job entertaining a crowd and is quite informative too. There are Tesla coils to zap people and we got in the Cage of Doom and got zapped by the giant coil. The exhibits are really cool and I finally got to play a Theremin. All of the docents are excellent and really know their stuff. Do not pass up this museum when you're in Bellingham!

We made the 2.5 hour drive (one way) for a family fun day based on the recent reviews and it did not disappoint!! While some of the items in the collections were a bit before my time they were still very cool, interesting and great conversation pieces. I loved all the interactive areas and every single person who worked/volunteered there. Their love for what they do overflowed and showed up in the way they engaged with the customers, listened to truly listen and answer questions / teach us. I may be 50+ but this place sparked my curiosity like a 3 year old. And Thank You Tana. I REALLY enjoyed the add-on show you did and appreciated the extra cleanliness of the restrooms! I would have given this 5 stars however, I’d like to see a few more interactive things added for the younger kids.

What a fantastic experience for adults and kids alike. We went with out 4 year old. Parking was easy, address is accurate. The staff were super friendly. They cautioned us that there was not much for kids under 5, which was nice. Their staff did a lot to entertain our kid, and make the experience interactive. While I appreciate their caution, I would say it is kid friendly. As for the museum for adults, I learned a lot about electricity. Some of the artifacts they have there are 1 of a kind. This is a must see. There is a reason it has a 4.8 star rating.

This is a really great and interesting museum, but not for small kids. We took our 4 and 7 year olds, and there was way too much stuff that shouldn't be touched, but wasn't protected. The few things that had interactive buttons for kids were not enough to keep them occupied. We spent our time chasing around after them making sure they didn't touch things. I would suggest kids 12 and over who have shown an interest in this subject, otherwise, go on your own and enjoy! There is a play room on the top floor that kept the boys occupied for 30 minutes or so.

Unexpected gem of a place. Staff were excellent and exuded passion for teaching and discovery. I speculate they were mostly retired teachers! The demonstrations were great for our 8 and 10 year old. Highly recommend for families of school age kids, or for anyone with a curious mind.
