Impression 5 Science Center Reviews

Fun way to learn about science for both kids and adults

Probably more geared towards kids under 8. The day I went they had an animation workshop for kids 9+

Lots of really fun hands on exhibits. The downstairs is a lot cooler than the upstairs in the summertime so be mindful for young ones and the elderly.

There is an elevator if you do have a stroller or wheelchair. My family and I always have a great time when we go. Plus, the new dinosaur area is tons of fun for all ages.

A fantastic stop with the kids. Lots of hands on stuff, something for everyone. They also have a quieter area for kids 4 and under for when the little ones need a break. Lots of science built into the exhibits and we spent hours there. A must see for anyone with kids that's in the area.

Loved it. Even has a play area for infants and toddlers. Soo much fun

My only qualm with this place is the bubble area is a big safety hazard.

Great museum. Lots to do for the kids. Lovely historical building.

Fun place to take kids. Can easily spent half day ther.

Very cool! Do not miss this! The adults were as entertained as the kids. I suggest a couple changes of clothes. The water and bubbles are too much fun to miss. If you have multiple age kids bring multiple adults. Different activities for different age groups in different areas.

Our kids (1 and 3) can literally spend hours here and never get bored (and only explore a couple of exhibits). Because they change of the exhibits periodically and we live in Lansing, we got the year membership and it has already paid for itself multiple times!!

Great children's museum. Everything is hands on and covers broad physical and biological science subjects through play.

My two year old loved it, and I was fond of the giant light bright. Bring an extra change of clothes if your kid wants to play in the water rooms. I think one or two more family restrooms wouldn't hurt, but it's a pretty awesome place for my boys.

The dinosaur exhibit was a big disappointment. However the light room more than made up for it! They have amazing exhibits in the light room

We come here for the 3rd grade field trip and it's always a hit!

So many things for the kids to do, my 7 year old and 11 year old both loved it and there was plenty to keep them busy for a couple hours.

Redesigned and remodeled. The best place in Lansing tp take kids. Everything is hands on. Plan on being there for hours.

Awesome spot for kids of all ages, and parents too. A little pricey if you have more than one but there's a lot to do, and a space for nursing and lunch. Would definitely recommend!

Very upsetting visit today. I had two free passes and went in today with my very, VERY excited toddler. I was told since they were having a fundraiser today that my passes would not be accepted. They told me that they would allow me to use them next time. The issue is I barely have the time and I had to drive a significant distance to get there. As a full time college student and a single dad, the hour and a half round trip was hard enough to pay for. There was absolutely nothing on my free pass that mentions there may be an exclusion due to specific events happening at the museum. I wanted to argue but decided that doing so in front of my 2 year old would not be appropriate. I'm very disappointed with Impression 5.

Nice place to visit with kids 10 and under. You can bring in your own drinks and food. They do have a vending area.

First time here and I thought it was fun and educational

We had lots of fun at Impression 5 for my son's field trip. They really enjoyed everything. Making slime, playing in the bubble area, throwing a fast ball, launching paper airplanes and a 2-liter rocket. So much to do here!

Probably one of my fonder memories as a child. This is kid heaven. Apparently you can bring in your own food and drinks too.

Always a good time. Science lab, bubble area, and a place to just play around with water. A dozen other science based areas you to get the handle on some basics. We go a few times a year.

It's a great place for kids to play and learn and if you don't think you can afford to go they have programs that help with that

Terrific place for afternoon adventure. The interactive activities kept our 11 year old engaged and running from area to area. Select those locations that are appropriate for the age of your little one. The gift shop was reasonably priced for a destination. The offerings were representative of the science center. A good place to take your kiddos.

I love this museum. It beats Ann Arbor Hands On on interactive exhibitions.

So I have four kids, ages 15, 11, 3, and 10 months. This place kept every single one of them entertained!! That is a pretty hard thing to do. We are definitely planning a return visit!

This place is amazing for kids. There is so much to do! We were here for a few hours and didn't get to everything. We are planning another visit here soon!

My daughter loves this place . Awesome and friendly staff.

I helped chaperone the 2nd grade from my kids' school. Everyone had a great time! The only complaint I heard from kids was that there wasn't enough time to do Everything.

Came into town to visit family. Wanted to take my son somewhere fun with everyone. Great environment, clean and organized. Had a great time.

Love going here! Lots of fun things to do and explore. Crowded floor space, loud.

Kids love it, parents dred it. Gift shop is cool, but expensive. Very limited seating for parents who can't keep up with the kids. Other than 1 candy machine, no snacks or food is available. Annual membership is reasonable. It's a fun hour or so for the kids to explore.

Such a wonderful, hands-on place to share with my kids and grand babies!

I went with my 3.5 year old son on a daycare field trip. He had a blast! The was plenty for him to do, so much that he didn't get to everything on this visit. Admission is reasonable for kids and free for adults! They had a great toy store inside as well! I highly recommend this place!

Had a field trip with my son's school and it was a great hands-on learning experience.

I could have gone here they had fun great things inside good place to go

It is in serious need of an update. My family and I went on a "free" day. Lots of exhibits didn't work correctly or were dated. It is a fun place for experiences with children for the afternoon, but I can't honestly say I would pay full price for the experience at ANY time.

Nice facility. Great variety of informative, educational, and fun activities for young and old alike.

One of my favorite museums growing up. And now one of my favorite museums to visit with my kid.

My 2 year old loves this place and we love taking him.

There is a great variety of fun and informative exhibits for children of all ages (even 52). My daughter and I had a wonderful time there. She is 5 now and I would like to go back again as she gets older as there are a lot of new things for her to learn. We spent over 4 hours and were never board. The do have snacks available and today had food trucks outside for lunch.

We love Impression 5. There's always a new exhibit, it's clean, staff is friendly. The only drawbacks are parking can be tough when school's out and there are no public bathrooms on the first floor. Sometimes little folks can't make it to the second floor! Otherwise a wonderful place...become members!

Fantastic hands on museum... We didn't give ourselves enough time and are heading back tomorrow!

The kids had a lot of fun. It didn t take as long to get through everything as we thought it would. We did the water tables last as a friend recommended and brought dry clothes to change into. Good thing, the kids were soaked.

Fun experiments and exhibits for the whole family. 'there were a bunch of toys' -5 year old Judah

Very enjoyable experience. Lots of hands on learning and lessons. The staff is very friendly and answered questions well. Very educational for all ages.

Seriously fun place for the kids. And still fun for adults.

My kid goes just about every weekend and loves that place it is the best 15-35 dollars I ever spent or a year long membership

Great place to bring your kids for a fun day of science and adventure!

Outstanding sensory learning museum. I ve gone to Impression5 since I was a little kid and it s never gotten old even though my kids play on some of the same exhibits that I did. They have been renovating and expanding a lot in the past few years and it is one of the must visits for new comers to Lansing.

Always a good time. Loved the model train exhibit, Clifford the Big Red Dog also

Great place! So many things to do and they offer birthday party rooms.

Grand kids had a great time there and it was very educational

This place is awesome! My dad would take me as a kid in the 80's and We took our kids and they didn't want to leave (my son asks every day when we're going back to the mesuem)

So much fun for the entire family! We always go back and never get bored of it!

Everything you look for in a science center without all the complicated unnecessary trappings. The price is great, the place is friendly, accessible and well-maintained. Love the old warehouse vibe inside. Not too crowded, great rotating exhibits and community involvement.

Great place for kids and adults to learn, hands on experience!
