The displays are incredible. Even adults... More

We took out 5 year old there, it was interesting, but I didn't find that there was a lot to do. We saw a movie in the IMAX which was good, so check to see that there is something interesting showing there.

It sounds like this science center used to be a great place, but we were very disappointed to find that the majority of the exhibits were not in working order.
