There are always groups of kids when we go here, but despite how busy it always is, we have fun. My 11 year olds love it, and so does my 2 year old. It is definitely fun for the entire family. I highly recommend this museum.
Having lived in other parts of the country, I'd have to say it's pretty good for a town like this. Having been spoiled with Port Discovery in Baltimore and visitin places like City Museum in St. Louis, it's hard for me to give it 5 stars.

We went on a Sunday, and it wasn't crowded, which was nice. I have been to better ones (Memphis & Jackson). It is better then the one in Texarkana. My 7yr daughter enjoyed it. Their where a few exhibits that I hadn't seen before that where interesting. We didn't do the high wire bike ride :(
Very good programs, sign up for their emails. We went to the chesse program and it was very interesting.
We've taken our 6-year-old there several times. He loves that place! You won't be disappointed - unless you leave too soon. Make sure you allow several hours to see everything.
Small museum. Regular exhibits are pretty average - but the Discovery Center also features traveling "national exhibits" from time to time that are great. Plus you are likely to pay less to see a "national exhibit" here than in a big city
Overall this experience is best for kids around the ages of 4-8. Great time, kind of expensive admission prices but worth it!
One of the best hands on attractions in the Ozarks for kids.
