What parents highlight
“Clean building considering it's for kids to play in.”
“They had a really good time, lots of educational and hands on things to do to keep little ones occupied.”
What parents say
Truth be told, I don't think the price was worth it, but my kids had the best time ever. If thier happy, then I call it a win. The pathway was under construction, but the other activities made up for it. My kids specifically loved the magnetic fishing.
We brought the kids here on a rain day to burn off some energy. It doesn't look very cool from the outside- big tan industrial building but I'm glad we found it. They had a really good time, lots of educational and hands on things to do to keep little ones occupied. They played their little faces off for about 1.
Took my 4 year old Grandson here today. He enjoyed it so much that we were there for around 2 hours. Very fun place for little ones to learn and interact.
It’s nice and mostly for kids. We had free access due to Science membership from ASTC of an out-of-state museum. Our 12 year old who is at higher end of focus here spent even 2 hours of fun off the screen here.
