    The museum is split up between a couple different buildings, which was a little confusing a first. The most fun exhibit for us was the aquarium, where you can pet skates and sharks and pick up horsehoe crabs.

    We've been taking our toddler here for a while now. The staff is always beyond helpful and the environment kept family- friendly. They have special exhibits that switch out from time to time and so there's always something new to experience. My little one loves the aquarium section the most, especially the touch pond with sharks and rays. The planetarium shows also switch out from time to time- for the most part the shows have been a little too advanced for my 4 year old but are a unique learning experience for older kids. We recently joined CSCs membership program which includes free visits for the family (worth the cost right there), discounts, and tickets/special nights for other events in the community (i.e. Crawdads baseball). We have also been attending CSCs summer programs- week long classes with flexible scheduling (we go just M-F 10a-12p) and my little one won't stop talking about all the new things she has learned in classes such as Underwater Explorer or Little Dinos. If you're new to the area or even been around for a while and have kids of any age, I would 110% recommend a visit here.

    Wonderful place to visit, includes exhibits of various animals, special limited time exhibits of space or other topics, has separate building with incredible aquatic life displays including touch tanks. Very affordable. My family looks forward to going twice a year.

    It's kinda limited and expensive, but for what it has is a good place to go on or for a trip. Many interesting exhibits.

    I remember coming here as a kid and loving it. When I had a child of my own I knew that I was going to make it a major part of her early education. We still enroll in the camps and visit occasionally throughout the year, she is always excited to go. The exhibits change so keep updated through their website as to whats there currently. The aquarium touch tank is a must for younger kids, they love touching the rays and sharks.
