I've been there for 3 ask-a-scientist events (Neutrino Oscillations, Amazon cloud computing, and Dark Matter/Energy). The events are great for adults and high schoolers. The topics have been well presented and they all do a great job at fielding questions. They do hard science there so some of the topics are pretty intense, but I've definitely learned something new each time I've attended. The events include a lecture, a tour of the particle accelerator, and ~45 minutes of time to ask the presenter (and the other physicists) questions. It's a really cool place and it's crazy to think it's right down the road from a Pep boys and an outlet mall.
