I'll be the first to announce that I do not have children, but that I'm a HUGE fan of the Great Lakes Science Center. I ended up there by chance with my nieces and nephews, but have since returned sans any children. One could literally spend hours in the Great Lakes Science Center, so plan your afternoon accordingly. There are... more

Visited the science center with 4 kids 5 and under. Many of the exhibits were technically over thire heads, but they enjoyed the cause and effect of this displays. An intended half day visit grew to an all day affair, with something to interest all ages. The kids loved it!!! Instead of eating at the museum, venture to tower city,... more

This science center is just okay- it did seem a little pricey for the amount of exhibits that they had. There is a floor and a half of exhibits. They do have an IMAX but that is extra. I was worried I would have enough time to see all of it but after about 2 hours I was pretty much... more

I thought this place was supposed to be state of the art and it wasn't. Most of the technology it had was normal, everyday technology. I was very disappointed. Most of the exhibits look like they were good 15 years ago and haven't been updated since. more

As a middle school science teacher I had to stop at the science center. Even though I wasn't taking any kiddos with me (just another friend my age) it was a lot of fun. They have an IMAX there and three levels of hands-on science. From an educators perspective I loved the hands on demos and it looked like the... more

We all agreed that Great Lakes was the best, most interactive exhibit of them all. Even my 16 year... more

The Great Lakes Science Center is beside the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This is a good science center, especially for kids 6 to 16. Older teens may be a bit bored. The interactive exhibits are well done and fairly well maintained. Given that children use them, some have had a rough life, but overall most are in good... more

We've been to many science museums in the midwest/northeast area, and this is probably one of the above average ones. Many interesting exhibits which are not "standard" science museum stuffs. The location is beautiful, in front of the lake. We've seen 2 special exhibits: Einstein and Robots&us, and both are very interesting. We've family membership ($65 online) and we know... more
