The entry fee is well worth the mount of fun and learning you can have. Try to turn the wheels and drop the goblet, or have fun experimenting with sounds and tubes outside! And there’s an indoor shop filled with plenty of neat things for great prices!

I was lost in the exploration of each room and exhibit. I lived the pisters on tge walls filked with information. The exhibits on stream and animal pond life is truly amazing. I love being able to explore all tge scientific exhibits and I love to allow my mind to wander as I use my handson abilities to work with the exhibits. This pkace is a feast for the eyes and a treat for your mind.
