What families say

Families consistently rave about the hands-on, interactive exhibits—the Giant Heart, planetarium, Baldwin locomotive, and rotating shows like Universal Studios—making it a hit for kids and adults alike, with science-minded kids especially inspired. Plan for a full day, or at least 2-2.5 hours minimum, since reviewers say even an hour isn't enough to see everything; visiting near closing time can also snag you a discounted ticket if a shorter visit works. One heads-up: school groups can crowd the space during weekday hours, so if you're doing a homeschool trip, be prepared for that possibility.
