The review of this place is considering it as a museum that it is not. This is a advanced STEM oriented play area for middle school kids. Kids should enjoy this place. Sufficient parking available in front of the building. There is a canteen with two vending machine, but you have to carry your own lunch. The planetarium is medium size and attended to shows that are very ordinary. I traveled for an hour. This place is not worth driving that long. If you are in the neighborhood enjoy the place with your kid.

Pretty nice place and friendly staff. I disagree that it is made for middle school. I would say this is elementary thru middle school. It is a lot of fun for kids 6-8 years old and older kids could definitely find stuff to do.

I would rate the inside 3 stars. I brought my 3 year old and it takes an hour to go through the whole place which he did twice in 2 hours. The 1 hour show is good, keeps them occupied. This place is great for 6 and under. After that they may be uninterested. Can not wait to do adventure park

I would NOT consider this a museum. I’m not taking my kids back to this place. It’s way to pricey for what they offer. We made it through all their little learning modules in less than an hour. The learning modules were not that good and some didn’t even work right. We finally just left. Again not worth the money or the trip to this place.

This is a magnificent educational resource, with changing displays and a couple floors of hands on exhibits. They have a Challenger Learning Center which was newly renovated. They have many ongoing programs for the kids, camps, and adult nights. They offer school programs, field trips, venue rental, and special events. Outdoors, they have an entire adventure park with zip lining, walking trails, and picnic areas.
