Took the kiddos and they loved it. Employees were nice and helpful. If your looking for something to do with the kids give this place a shot.

Fabulous and I don’t often give praise. We took our grandson and were there for hours. He loved it and so did we.

This place was great. We have kids from 8 to 1 and they all had a great time. What I really liked is most of the exhibits are hands on and that really kept them occupied.
