The exhibits are mostly nice and the staff was helpful and friendly. Some things, like the butterfly exhibit, could have been a little cleaner or better managed. Dead butterflies/moths scattered around the place took away from the experience. The best part was that we got in for free because they had a "neighborhood days" event going on. If you live in any of the Philly neighborhoods, you could get up to 4 tickets for free. Unsure how often they do this so look out for it if you live in the city or know someone who does. I think it's $29 a person otherwise, including access to the special exhibits which cost extra (e.g. butterflies.) $29 is definitely a lot, the experience is worth about half that in my opinion. Spent about 1.5 - 2 hrs here and felt like that was enough to enjoy everything thoroughly.
