    Good little museum. Something that can take most families 1-2 hrs. I do wish the dog exhibit was more hands on. My kids are too young to want to listen to each station. They really enjoyed the water table and elevation sand station. The clean energy area was good, just geared towards older kids.
  • By Sam Levi
    This is an amazing place to explore different fields of study such as physics, geography and astronomy. Admission isn't very expensive and they sell a lot of useful things to have around the house. They accept both cash and card. You can learn about magnetism and surface tension here. It's excellent for kids and adults alike.
