This place is great. There are a lot of interactive exhibits there for adults and young kids. You need to invest 2-3 hrs to check out everything.
Decent place to take your kid. Most of the exhibits seem pretty aged (old). And some hardly work as they are supposed to. The cool stuff is outsidethe animals. It's very clean. The staff is always very friendly and helpful. The planetarium is pretty decent to see.but the narrator should probably be a little more knowledgeable on the subject of astrology. You could tell they were way out of their element of comfort.
Pretty awesome science museum, with lots of exhibits geared towards kids’ learning. Coupled with the downtown location, a membership here was pretty much a necessity for us.
True story: after my granddaughter's first day at Disney World, her mother asked how she liked it. Her reply: "It was great, but tomorrow let's go too SciWorks (now named Kaleidium)".
Chaperoned 10 children to Kaleideum North, last day of Summer Camp at the Traveler's Club. We decided on a field trip to Sci-Works presently Kaleideum North. Our ages ranged from 4 and 5 to 16. All students and adults enjoyed the trip and time at Kaleideum Northwe planned on splitting time and end at Kaleideum Downtown. But they enjoyed K.N. so much, we ran out of time. Next time! Thankyou Kaleideum North!
Had loads of fun there, even though I really shouldn't be going to this park, because it's really for kids. However, if you are an unmarried adult like me, you should definitely come here to look at exotic snakes, owls, otters and deer, and explore science by playing with some machinery. Will I come back? Yes, I will, and I am coming back for the animals.
Just an awesome place for kids of any age, even toddlers. So many hands on exhibits and different stations to explore. The outside section isn't much but the inside is even better than the greensboro science center as far as interactive activities and different things to see including a few wildlife creatures. And educators get in for free!
We had an amazing time! The staff are so nice and very helpful! We are definitely planning another trip there.
Planetarium was great, and guide was great with kids. Very interesting displays for kids. We were with a prek group.
Recently renamed, Kaladium North, (formerly SciWorks) is a wonderful science and discovery center for children 4 through 12. Exhibits are mostly interactive and include both instructions and an explanation of the "science behind" the exhibit. Every major brach of the sciences is represented, though technology/computers are probably under represented. Something for every age group. Because few children will bother to read the "science behind" each exhibit, it would be great to add a videotaped explanation at each station." On my visit, I attended a great special event, "Night Creatures" which featured a nationally noted biologist and his traveling troupe of a giant fruit bat, a two toed sloth, an owl, and a flying fox. The presentation was engaging and informative, and was made to a packed house. Afterward, attendees could visit the science exhibits throughout the museum for another hour.
Absolutely fantastic museum! Wander around here because we found a whole area on accident when I went down a hall.
Really nice museum. It's extremely geared for children. I was expecting a documentary in the planetarium, but it ended up being a really corny kids show. I really wish that the planetarium show was a documentary rather than what they have. I was expecting to see actual pictures of space rather than a bunch of animations.
