Review of Arizona Science Center

Even if I hadn't visited the NY Hall of Science in NYC, just by itself the Arizona Science Center is not that great. The Grossology exhibit is not worth the money. In fact, the experience as a whole is not worth the money.

For two student tickets and two special exhibits, I paid nearly $40.

This place is definitely for kiddies, like children no older than five I'd say. Past that age, and they would be bored. There's a special bike that you can ride up in the air on a rope (for $5), but it's such a short distance and you have to peddle backwards from where you begin in order to ride forward - it's really as stupid as it sounds.

There needs to be more hands-on activities and not just kiddy activities like taking apart a puzzle. Seriously, why are there a myriad of deviations of puzzles?

The science center in nyc - you can learn about the psychology behind vision and how your brain tricks you... there was the largest gingerbread cookie village for a while, etc. Plus, everything was so fascinating for adults as well. The az science center pales in comparison.
