FANTASTIC Museum with PLENTY for kids and adults of all ages to see and do! This was fantastic for my 5 year old and I could have spent way more time there. The best part is that it is FREE!!! Technically by donation - but with zero pressure.
Full disclosure, my review of the Dog exhibit that is currently there would be entirely different... more like 2 stars. I made the awful mistake of spending nearly $20 to do that, when I could have had a free day at the museum with all the other amazing things! But we did get to see the Endeavor, if tickets for the Dog exhibit, so that was cool. Oh! You need to see the Body Works part! There is a huge woman that is just strange. The whole thing is a bit outdated - but the retro ness is super charming. It evoked feelings of the Diet Coke of 1990's EPCOT Center.
For parents with small children: There are MANY fun zones that are essentially science based play areas, closer to what you'd find at a play place. So that is super helpful. The highlight for us was definitely the aquarium section. That was super cool. But we really enjoyed all of it. I can't wait to go back!
Parking is $12 (so it's not exactly a free day) - but totally worth the $12. Drinks are expensive, so I'll bring my own next time. We had lunch there and prices were as expected for a place like this and for museum food, my cheeseburger was pretty delicious!
