Wonderful Place

This place is amazing! So many cool things for our older and younger kiddos. Tricky when it’s crowded. There were activities that we would have really explored but there were so many other children it was hard to finish a project. We were there with two busloads of kids so when we saw that outside we knew it would be crowded. It’s tricky to navigate through the museum when it’s that crowded. All in all we would go back in a heartbeat!

children will have fun there

it has free admission on every Thursday 5-8pm, but need to line up for entrance, you can get a first time visit sticker if you visited for 1st time. Although it's free at that time period, yet you have to book the free tickets in advance, I am not sure if it is available if you walk-in. The things inside are similar to other children museum, there is area of playing water, something about physics, chemistry, animal, etc. interactive things for kids to play, I think kids aged 12 or below will enjoy it very much
