What looks like a post-office from the outside hides a really fun place for children and adults alike. Presentations are fun and interactive. Well worth the time and money for an afternoon of fun.

The place is just ok. The exibits are ok but they seem kind of old and dusty. Not much to do for small children, the toddlers area is really small and there are not many activities for them. The only fun thing my boy did was to run and run all over the place.

We have been here several times over the years. Always something intersting to see. Kids get a first hand look at what other kids have done that is scientific.

This is an amazing museum because it actually teaches math, science and physics in a really fun, visual and hands-on way! It is definitely not your typcial "babysitter" museum filled with toddlers, so kids over the age of seven will feel much happier here! There's plenty to do too, despite it's small size.

I have been here several times in the last few years, most recently with a kindergarten field trip. It is a nice museum and everything (that works) is hands on. The age range of my children is preschool through early elementary and it was hard for all of them to pay attention to the same thing. If you have a... More
