Review of Orlando Science Center

OSC leaves much to be desired.

OSC leaves much to be desired.

Born and raised in Orlando, lived here my entire life. I came here yesterday for the first time since I was a child, I was extremely excited. The workshop was cool, I made a redneck wind chime out of a soda can and metal bits and washers. Though, I was heavily let down with the rest of the science center.

Wonderworks has more science, facts, and hands on learning than this place. OSC maybe has 1/20th of the interactive and learning experiences here in compared to Wonderworks. The dinosaur exhibit was just a giant room of wasted space of a few fake dinosaur statues and a little fossil digging area for the kiddies. Actually, the vast majority of this place just feels like wasted space filled with 'space fillers' here and there. I finished every floor going to the next thinking, "that was it?".

I don't mean to be so harsh, but this place could definitely use improvement and focus on keeping everyone of all ages interested. It's definitely more just for toddlers and kids up to 10 years old at most.
