My friends and I visited on a whim and were very glad we did. Where else can you see penguins, rainforest lizards, and an earthquake exhibit at the same time? The exhibits are well designed with a good amount of information on the animals. I loved the rainforest exhibit, with the beautiful butterflies. We were only there for a couple... More

It's very expensive for not such a good museum. The plantarium is cool, although we hoped it to be on planets, not earthquakes. The earthquake simulator is silly. The aquarium is nice, but if you've just done montereye's than this one is a bit of a fraude. The jungle, well, it's ok. But we spenT 100 with 2 children, you... More

It's a great way to spend a day with the family or just as a couple. Beautiful expositions

Lots to see: Living roof; rain forest; penguins; aquarium; planetarium and new exhibit Earthquake and more. We were all adults but the children we saw were having a blast.

If you would like to see the first world class revolutionary "green" museum, this is a must. It sets a new standard internationally. There is a rainforest that allows you to walk around with the buterflies! It is an aquarium, rainforest and planetarium all in one. We have been to the Universeum in Gothenberg, Sweden. It's like the Grandfather model... More

Didn't know about this place - came across it on a bus tour. It's great for young kids. The aquariums are good and there are some interactive activities like touching starfish and stuff. The tropical rainforest area was nice with lots of butterflies all around. The best was the planetarium. Huge screen that curves all the way round you. Its... More

This place is very good but the planatarium is something special. It will take 5 hours to fully enjoy everything this place has to offer. We travelled with two children ( 9 & 7) who also really enjoyed the experience. The staff were friendly, chatty and very interactive. The food was good and reasonably priced at the restaurant but they... More

I loved the aquarium and rainforest exhibits. They are expanding, but I found that the live penguins at the end of a hall of stuffed animals was disconcerting. The planetarium show was nice but the woman's integrated voice with the show (employee narrator - not Jodie Foster) put my child to sleep. I was excited to see the living roof!

You will find larger science museums in other large cities, but this one covers a lot of topics. From water to rainforest to dinosaurs and a living roof. The kids enjoyed every part of it. I really liked the above and below water sections. The price of admission is worth it, and even better if you have a City Pass.
