This place was so cool and very "hands on". So many cool things to do. We could have spent a lot more time there. The price was right. We loved it and will definitely be going back in the future!!

First off neat place but..... For what it costs and no more than you can see I was not impressed my kids had fun though.. I guess I expected someone to show you around but the two kids as I would say way more interested in there phones than helping us!!!!

Dope science stuff my kids played with for hours. Awesome stop comparable to the children's museum in Lincoln or Omaha, but in a smaller space.
