None of the touch screens in the NASA exhibit worked. The trains (main reason for the hour long drive) were tarp-covered, "down for maintenance". The "Feed the Bear" touch screens were broken. Many other features were broken across the whole place. My son had a really good time, but as a parent I was disappointed at the number things he could not fully experience.

Excellent lessons covering a wide range of topics with fun hands on activities for kids of all ages. Some of the exhibits have been well worn and appeared in need of repair or replacement, but nothing that would pose any safety threat.

I'm a member so I've taken my kids here like a million times and here's my honest review.
From the perspective of an adult some aspects of the place may be a little underwhelming, and there are always lots of things that don't work the way they are supposed to and need to be fixed. But, my kids, (6 and under) absolutely love this place! It's their favorite place to go and makes a great place to take kids to play when the weather isn't suitable for outdoor activities. The place is perfect for younger kids, I can't really say if it would be worthwhile for kids past age 9-10 because I don't have kids that age.

It's kinda expensive if you're just going for one visit, but if you're local the way to go is to get a membership and visit often. If you bring your kids here several times a month it's well worth the annual membership. I don't think there's a better option for a place to bring your kids to play and learn here in Tyler.

Think is the best place for your kids and adults to not only have a great time together. But it triggers insight, exploration and answers many questions we have. It's not just a place to visit once.

1 thing can impress a mind to think or expand or develop ideas that lead our life.

It's like a time machine. It has fossils to computers. It has hands on displays. And gives comprehensive information that anyone can understand.

Amazing place! We played there all day and never got bored. Everything is kid friendly but adults can participate as well. I highly recommend for anyone with kids 12and under (but I know older kids would it enjoy it as well).

This was a great little place to take the kids. It's a lot of hands on fun. Kids can learn about space, explore different careers in a really fun and relatable way, explore a bat cave, and a number of other cool science related exhibits.

Great place for the preschool crowd. Stimulate some science curiosity. Many areas are too artificial (stuffed fish in an aquarium) but magnets, perpetual motion, wind, fossils, and various business and workplace play makes a great afternoon

The staff was constantly through resetting the various play / learning areas. My four-year-old absolutely loves running around to interact with everything there.
We built a couple forts with giant blocks. Next door several kids ran a pretend diner and served us all the pretend food we could eat.
Great way to spend several hours.

A lot of cool things for the kids to see and play with. We went with tired 2 and 4 year olds and they had a blast. I actually don't know who had more fun; mommy and daddy or the kids. The magnetism section, dominos, and digging for fossils kept our kids engaged.

This place is a great place for kids to come learn and explore their imagination. I would recommend getting the year pass for the family. Not only does it give you free access to DSP, it also gives you access to over 250 museums all over the US. My kids want to go all of the time. Very nice staff and some of the exhibits change to give the children a better experience.

Nice reasonable price. I would say good for children under 13. Can keep them active for 4 hours before you hear "I'm board." Lots of hands on exibits. Looks small from outside but has plenty room inside. Seeing a young child's eyes light up is worth more than the price of admission

My son had so much fun! 3 hours for an ADHD six year old is a long time, and he was not ready to leave. There was plenty of seating, too, for foot-weary adults to admire their playing progeny in comfort

We loved took my 15mth old grand son. He was able run around and enjoy although he couldn't understand some stuff he had a good time. He was asleep before I backed the car out the parking spot.

Love this place. Kids can play all day in air conditioned comfort and not get bored. Staff is friendly and always cleaning, reorganizing so things are in place for kids to play. Had a birthday there last year, party room was spacious, kids had a great time. The price is fair also which puts it over the top.

It was a lot of fun for small kids. The shopping area was a big hit. There were plenty of creative things to do here. It was super busy and crowded. I am sure it stays that way because I can see how it would be fun to little kids. Very family friendly.

Very fun family friendly facility to spark interest in learning of children and adults alike. The hands on exibits ensure fun learning for all ages. From being out of town i definitely wish i lived closer so my children could spend more time here.

The kids had fun, however, the items to play with are outdated and it is not a big place. The website makes it seem like their are more rooms for exploring. It was not a bad experience but I am somewhat disappointed.
