Disappointed with the new space gallery. Lots of empty space punctuated by video games and a giant dart game that takes up half a room. Lots of eye candy without a lot of content. One exception was the theatre that tells the lunar landing story, which is great and creative and held the kids' attention.
Much better planetarium shows than previous - they used to have pretty mediocre regular videos played on the dome, and now they are back to the awe-inspiring wonder of the full-dome and actual images of stars and planets.
Excellent School programming - creative fun learning that produced engaged listeners. Kudos! The nature area is a great exploration space that not over-monitored and gives kids room to engage their senses.
Finally, what annoyed me enough to write this review in the first place was the price of the food. I ordered veggie samosas for $6.50 and got two (literally) bite-size triangles that were tasty but hardly worthy of being called a snack, let alone a meal option. Most of the meals were in the $13 to $16 range, which is quite a burden on top of what I considered to be an overpriced entrance fee, and which doesn't even include all of the exhibits.
