A great place for kids, but we went without kids and still had fun. One half contains habitats with plants and animals and that was really fun, while the other half contains mainly games and puzzles, not so fun for adults but perfect for kids. I wasnt so impressed with the cafe though. More

We recently visited UniverseUm. We were visiting the city on business & decided to ck it out. It was great fun even without our grand kids! Tip: start out at the top level and work your way down. And make sure to ck out the outdoor top floor dinosaurs - they are truly life-like :-) More

Spent the entire day and wasn't bored at all. Our kids ages are 6, 9 and 11. We split up a few times for age appropriate activities, but they all had a blast. Take your time and go slowly through each exhibit. I loved that the family entrance price included 3 kids, not just 2. The cafe prices was a... More

The universeum is a great place for all to go see and explore. My favourite parts were seeing the curious monkeys in the rain forest area and also seeing the sharks swimming above my head in the aquirium! really enjoyed walking around at my own pace. Entry fee is reasonable and worth it. More
