I visited as part of a field trip with 4th graders visiting Michigan's state capital (Lansing). 120 people in all, including teachers, students and chaperones.

Spent a very enjoyable Saturday morning at Impression 5 while visiting some friends in Lansing. The kids in our party (ages 17M, 5Y, 6Y and 11Y old) had a nice time at the museum. Not a huge science center but it had enough to keep the kids and adults entertained for a couple of hours.

Great place to take your kids! A fun afternoon can be had by all! It is very similar to many cities "hand on museums."

This review mainly pertains to the First Impression Room for birth to 4-year-olds, since that's where we spent the majority of our two-hour visit ... As a mom, I am often racking my brain to come up with new, fun and educational experiences for my little one, and this one was huge. Our little guy was in heaven for two... More
