A really wonderful place.Honestly, we go just about every weekend and we always find something to keep us engaged and interested every time. Theres a lot of interactive exhibits, a lot of tables set up with crafts or things that change often, a lot of shows that are always changing, and the exhibits themselves change relatively regularly. It is never a boring visit.

I think it is MOST enjoyable for children pre-k up to maybe grade 8, but still enjoyable for all other ages, including adults. They have a lot of workshops that are rotating and changing frequently. The exhibits do not remain stagnant but rather are updated every few months, sometimes weeks, as well as the shows. Makes going multiple times worthwhile. They have a very large area designated for younger children that has an orange grove type area, a water area, an indoor playplace, and a crafting center. The Hive area is a really cool workshop area for people 8 years old and up. They do a lot of cool workshops in there, including 3D printing. The Subway inside makes grabbing lunch super easy as well.
I will say the cinedome tends to frighten small children, so keep that in mind. They also have adult nights after hours that have some different things for adults.

Homeschool programs! They have overnights for groups of 30 or more and have day programs divided by age groups during the regular school year months, I believe 10am to 2pm on the first Monday of each month. Theres a discounted rate for members. Children over a certain age can attend alone but others must be accompanied by an adult.

I believe membership here also gives you access to some art exhibits at the art museum but Im not 100% on that. Also if you have an electric vehicle, there are two ChargePoint chargers in the garage. Parking is free for members, five dollars for non-members.
