Attended the Rubik's cube exhibit and the Mythbusters exhibit. Both were amazing. The facility was maintained extremely well and the staff after the shows spent a lot of time talking with us which was great.
Where to begin? If you've never been to another science center you might think this place was okay, but it's really not. It's dirty, the exhibits are worn out and tired, and there's no staff to be found. It seems like they built this place in the 90's and then just have never done anything to it since. It gets 1 star just for the NASA gallery. Not very eco-friendly either from observations. For the price, go to the Children's Museum or to Natural History. This is just a sad and outdated experience.
A great place to take a group of children !
Any age, from 6 to 100 will learn something amazing !
Great interactive displays for all ages. Lots to see and do. Awesome movie, The Edge of Distinction.
The science center is a fun and informative trip for all ages to enjoy! The imax is also a blast every time! Highly recommend this place!
absolutely awesome, fun for ALL ages...... lots of learning
The space is great. Most of the activities are geared toward young families. I have also been to a fundraising event here and the space was utilized very nicely and made for a nice event.
My neice says it so cool and she wishes she could live there
Outdated and unimpressive......unless you are under 10 years old.
We went for a wedding. It was outstanding. Very well managed. I liked that between the ceremony and reception they had appetizers and exhibits to keep children occupied. Plus, the photo area was unique where guests could get photos with different hats, glasses, etc. The only downside was the DJ who did not play list the bride requested started playing urban music which prompted many of the guests to leave. The DJ was totally oblivious to anyone but himself.
Hung around outside and walked around, really nice! Take the family and spend some time, you'll love it...
Had a wonderful time playing on the 3rd floor. Staff was friendly spent most of the day.
Eat before you go here its expensive for everything
The staff were very friendly and helpful, but the equipment is in terrible shape. This is a museum in the traditional sense where you can view archaic tools and not expect to interact with them. The price is also steep, even if everything worked. COSI is $10, GLSC is $14. But the staff are nice. We asked when the show for the static machine was going to be and the worker started it up for us right then.
Bank of America card holders get FREE gen admission the first weekend of the month!
I always learn something new here! A great place to bring you children and explore!
The Great Lakes science center is such a fun place for kids! Shows are fun and the IMAX theater is one of the best in the area they are always showing such interesting shows and the place has activities for all age children! Highly recommend it for anyone with children
Such a great place to learn some science. Really good demonstration and the staff is excellent!
Lost the unique touch from when it first opened. The crowds now is another issue.
One of the better museums you will see. Perfect? No. But definitely worth a day's visit which we did with our kids.
Had a great time here! Went on MLK day, there was free admission so it was crazy busy. I'd like to try it again on a less busy day.
Not as fun as when we were kids.. but still interesting especially the NASA visitors center.
Very fun and engaging museum with lots to see and do.
Make extra time with your kids or grandchildren and you go back to being a kid with them. Fun potential is unlimited if you let it happen.
A lot to do for every age. Great young children areas that you can let your children have hands on expierences.
Super fun if you like learning and science. Together or only one it doesn't matter you'll still have fun.
This is a great place to spend a few hours and let the kids learn about science through some hands on experience.
The live science show was very boring, my 10 yr old even wanted to leave the show so we did. I saw quite a few kids that were losing interest pretty quickly. Being down in a little amphitheater open to the rest of the center you get a ton of background noise that is very distracting as well so I think that hurts the show a little.
They have an IMAX theatre that I have heard is very nice but unfortunately it was closed for renovations at the time.
They make science interesting and fun. Bring your kids and explore!
We love this place! Great for kids of any age - there is literally something for everybody. Very engaging staff. This place is for curious minds! Get the season pass - totally worth it!
Went to the museum for deaf day. It was really nice and they had a lot of interactive exhibits!
Used to be great. Very poorly maintained science exhibits. Lots of stuff is broken.
Great place to spend a day, amazing for kids to learn physics with fun.
I haven't been here in years. I still learned new things while visiting. My kids had fun and learned some new things as well. Keep up the good work.
Place for science enthusiasts and for smart children
Needs some updating over the years, Nasa get on some new displays of upcoming rocket launches. Perhaps a disproving section of current internet misinformation. Like coke and pork, it does not grow worms.
Fun for the whole family, kids from 3 to 15! Lots of hands on experiments
What an amazing place. Great fun for all ages. Even the cafeteria food is quite delicious.
All the exhibits encourage all ages to get involved! Loved it
Movie experience can t be matched. I stop here every time I m in the city.
Wonderful place for kids. There were kids of all ages here & all seemed to be enjoying themselves. There are lots of hands on experiences for the family. My kids really enjoyed the sound experiences upstairs. There is a great viewing spot upstairs of the lake. We spent quite a bit of time just viewing that. Lots of great things for the kids to play and learn.
The museum is a bit small compared to others but don't let that stop you from going. There is plenty to see and do for those under 12 (and mom and/or dad). I found it good value for what the cost was and its right down on the waterfront, so very beautiful area to walk.
Very fun place to visit. A few exhibits were broke, but fun none the less
We went there with no expectations and we were dazzled by all that this museum has to offer !! We learned a lot about NASA, science and having fun !!! The staff was friendly and welcoming.
Really fun. If you come right when it opens you get 30-40 minutes by yourself. Head to Level 2 and try all the experiments.
This year's Alzheimer's walk started at Great Lakes Science Center. Beautiful view of the lake and the surrounding.
A lot of the exhibits were either missing pieces or just didnt work. But we still had a lot of fun.
This place was wonderful to visit as a kid and its still wonderful today. Sure, its no science center or rock and roll hall of fame, but it's fun to explore and learn about all of the functions and history of the Mather. Its more than just a ship, its a world war two supply hero and a revolutionary ship that made great strides in naval technology for commercial vessels. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves history and technology, you get to see the inner workings of the ship in addition to having free range access to nearly every part of the vessel.
It is a CHILDREN'S science center. Might be great for kids. Adults, not so much.
Great place to visit, good for the kids and for all ages
An excellent place for you to take your family they have a fun interactive exhibits from babies all the way up to adults also they have an omnimax theater and great traveling exhibitions.
My son (13) and I loved the Science Center. We visited in August of 2020 and despite Covid, everything but the great lakes ore freighter was open. They have a lot of hands-on things to illustrate ideas in science so with a little help, kids can come away from there with a better understanding of science. They have an enclosed parking structure and a reduced price for visitors. They are closed during Browns games (when fans are allowed) so look for that. They have a decent cafe with pizza and sandwiches and a gift shop with lots of cool stuff. I will definitely be going again.
Super fun! Great way to spend time with the grandkids
Great place for elementary aged kids and families. We took our 6 month old, and it didn't have the same impact for her age as for other visitors that day. Awesome displays, but they are very content dense. It's like they are trying to pack too much information into every station. Sometimes less is more. Overall great experience!
Awesome kids area and experiments, our daughter had a great time running around. The exhibit space wasn't very large, but everything worked and taught something meaningful. Cafe was a let down, I'd recommend bringing your own lunch/snacks.
Variety of activities for kids, including outside with a beautiful view of Lake Erie.
It was definitely fun for the whole Family. They had a love hands on its exhibits for the kids and for the adults
First time there today for annual meeting and it was awesome!!
A lot of things for all ages. Very hands on, but the rare if any hand sanitizer stations. Bring your own.
