  The place could use some updates especially outside. The kids (8,6,5) enjoyed it and we stayed about 2 hours. So if your looking fir something cheap to do in a raining day or if you have some down time check it out.

  Our local science museum is only a few years old so we're a bit spoiled. This museum had many hands on activities but several weren't working. The animals were fun to look at and read about! We wished it weren't raining so we could visit the outside area.

  We love this place! The exhibits are all hands on and the kids could spend hours here, despite the relatively small size. The staff is always super friendly, enthusiastic and helpful! Very educational and extremely fun!

  Used to have so much more! Hardly anything for younger kids. My 3 year old liked the hands on stuff like legos and the marble run, but we could do that at home. The animals are fun

  Loved the new place. The new activities kept my kids entertained with learning. The only negative is that the outdoor area needs to be tamed. I'm sure that it will be taken care of soon.

  The venue is very small. We walked in and had no idea what we were doing. We purchased tickets then walked down a random hallway that was apparently educational rooms. Just not much direction there. We have a great science center in St. Louis so our expectations were high. My son looked at everything within an hour. The one game he liked had a timer on it that reset the game before he could advance very far. I felt like for a small venue all attractions/activities should be working, but several were not or not well. Also many activities had vocabulary in the directions that my nine year old couldn't comprehend, which made him pass on them. I asked the lady that sold us the ticket if there was more, and she said we'd seen everything. Another reviewer talked about a craft area (we didn't see that), and he commented that a guide told them about animals (we didn't see that either). There was an event occurring apparently when we where there, so maybe the staff didn't have time for us. Hope to see the center grow.

  For children, nice place. We went to see a planetarium show and it was not a real planetarium but a blow-up tent-like structure. Good learning experience for first-timers but you'll be disappointed if you are expecting a real planetarium. The young lady that worked the front desk when we were there was very nice and talked about the various birds that they have on location.

  Great for younger kids. "Planetarium" show was unique in that it is an inflated sphere holding a dozen people. We visited from out of state and thought it was an actual planetarium, especially for the fee charged to gain entrance. Displays of different basic science concepts will keep younger kids busy. Do not expect an actual planetarium though.

  We came from Oklahoma City where we are lucky to have the most amazing science museum around, so we were admittedly a little snobby about going into this little place..But we were so wrong!
  
  We were here for around 4 hours. We got to watch a volunteer tell us about their lizards and animals, we played on every display/experiment, and we crafted in the craft area.
  
  Our 5 and 1/2 year old loved it. Great way to spend a cloudy afternoon.
