Although my friend and I don't have kids, we went to check this place out because they were offereing free admission that day. We ended up really liking it a lot!

I haven't been to Sci Works in several years so maybe things have improved, but i recall a well used and out dated museum with very few exhibits. The planetarium is very neat, but also a little outdated

Here is a place that could be sooooooo much better. The price is Good, but it's the same old things to see. Occasionally a new exhibit, but so far they have been just ok. Nothing mind bending. My 4 year old at the time told me "Dad? This is boring". We did think the Planeterium was awesome, but that was... More
