REVIEWS OF Boonshoft Museum of Discovery IN Ohio

Leah Duncan

So fun! It was very busy but there was plenty to do! Wish the small child water area was bigger and closer to the ground or had a step all the way around but it was the favorite among the little boys!

Jason Cox

Great id say for kids K-4th. Earth 360 planetarium though made me bit queezybwith the VR show

Traci Tobin

The Boonshoft is a true gem in Dayton. A wonderful hands on childrens' museum.

John Mclaughlin

Awesome place to take the kids on a cold or rainy day,fun stuff.just pack your own lunch.fyi

Stuart Lyons

Love this place! Had a great time at Geekfest. Ended up buying a year membership. Going back again tomorrow!!!

Muhanned Qasim

I love this place and I visit it at least once a month. Each time we visit it my kids enjoy their time. The most I like about Boonshoft Museum are the changing of exhibits from time to, so there is always something new to discover.

Cephas Penn IV

Still offers a lot to do and explore even though the museum is on the smaller size of most main museums of natural history. I could easily recommend any show in the planetarium. Water exhibit on first floor can get messy.

McKay Nielsen

This museum is a pleasant surprise near Dayton Ohio. It has lots to offer with a small animal exhibit, planetarium and much much more. Definitely worth a visit.

Liv S

Its lovely here. I love their special after hours events for corporations.

Katie Hallock

I can’t believe we waited so long to check this place out! When I found out that military could get BOGO Free tickets for the summer, I knew we needed to give it a shot. After two minutes inside we decided to get a pass. This will be the perfect place to stop after school on rainy or cold days. There’s an endless amount activities that are perfect for my three year old - water area, puzzles, climbing and slides, tree house with a bee hive, a vet, a pizza shop, trucks in dirt and the list goes on. Just a heads up that while strollers are allowed, I found it much easier without due to there being multiple levels.

Soni Avey

Wonderful place for the family to spend a day. So much for both kids and adults to see and do. Great place for family day.

bud slife

Fascinating place. Very well maintained.

Erin Cheatham

There's a lot for kids to explore! It's a great place to come on a rainy day or even a really hot day. My three year old loves coming here to play.

Paul Good

Great place for kids, teens weren't real thrilled, staff was awesome.

Tim Davi

Great place to take the kids for an educational and fun time .

Tonya Wells

Love this place and it has so much to offer children. My great granddaughter has so much fun there and the personnel are so knowledgeable and helpful

Kay Jones

My granddaughter loves this place.So much to learn, about animals and teaches them so much about different things.

AnnaBeth Feltner

We love the Boonshoft! Great way to keep your kids entertained, especially if you have a membership. We go and stay for 45-60 minutes (aka the length of a toddler attention span!) and leave when we get tired or it starts getting crowded.

Kelly Leis

Staff were very welcoming at front desk. The 2nd floor steps should have gates as small children go right for them. The children were being watched by adults and ran for the steps. We hate to think if parents werent watching their children what could happen.

Jessica Kremer

Great museum, especially for younger children and toddlers. There are a wide variety of exhibits and everything is hands on. We will definitely be going back!

david Richey

It is a wonderful place to spend the day with your family

Clifford Smith

I still think it's a bit pricey for a family to visit and so they only see us there once or twice a year. Also once you have seen it then there's not much to see the second time for the kids. Don't get me wrong they enjoy playing there after seeing it all. There's discounts/bogo for military, AAA, members of local associated Zoo's. So ask and find out. They have a great planetarium with hourly shows. We've always enjoy the shows and you can hear kids all over just "oohing and awe's". My 4yo hasn't stopped talking about the small dinosaur fossil exhibit. He was fascinated even after having been to the traveling dinosaur exhibit with life sized Dino's.

Dusteen Barber

Very nice museum. Family friendly. Exhibits were clean and in good repair. The mini zoo was great! Your admission is good all day so you can leave for lunch and come back. Also includes some basic planetaruim shows.

Debra Berry

In ome word....FABULOUS ! The music, message and graphics were outstanding. I am hoping in time they will have a DVD available so I can relive the experience. Bravo....well done !

Tonya Kindred

Very educational and the grands and I loved it

Michael Hickman

Cool place to learn about science and space, there are also animal feedings and showings there.

Christina Nelson

Fun place for children to learn... and play. I like that they have a water table and an inside climbing area with a slide. Great for active kids, and keeping them from "getting bored". Although, not boring.. so much to explore from science stations, live animal exhibits, dinosaur area, solar system, water cycle and how water systems work, ancient civilization artifacts, love the planetarium theater, just so much to explore. Less crowded during the week. But still fun on weekends! there's a small dining area you can bring your own food in to eat, or buy from vending machines (mostly average vending food like chips, candy, soda, juice, etc.. But they did have few things like burritos, sandwiches, etc) and there's a microwave too. My kids (and I) enjoy it :) (ages 3 to 11) Definitely worth a visit.

Perry G

Awesome place, we usually only go for shows in the planetarium. Wheelchair friendly, parking next to the door. Very helpful friendly staff.

jessica smith

Great way to spend a rainy day! We will definitely be back!

Cody Litzer

Super awesome place!

Megan Sherman

Love this museum. A great place to take the kids for a fun educational day of exploration. The planetarium show is awesome!

Jeff Forney

Great place to bring the kids. Tons of learning for everyone and fun in many different forms.

Jamie Hofman

One of the best we've been to. Really excellent.

Greg Hoffman

Nice discovery never new it was there

Duane Stafford

Well curated. Exhibits for children and adults mixed throughout. The zoo section had small animals that I usually don't see in other zoos. The Science on a Sphere is not spherical geometry but displays how various native cultures from around the world used scientific principles in daily life. One South American culture had a tall, skinny basket where poisonous vegetable matter was drained to separate toxins for hunting. The residual matter was made into flour for eating. I had never seen that in other cultural exhibits. This Museum of Discovery is worth another visit. Our 2-year old granddaughter loved it. Sure, she wore out fast but the ticket is good all day so you can come back after nap time. Or this would be a great way to break up a long cross country trip, especially if you already have passes to a participating museum.

Angel Christmon

Boonshoft has been an amazing museum of exploration, learning, discovery and fun since I was a child. So that's over 20 years! I have seen the museum change, grow and expand giving generations new things to learn. My children each love different things about Boonshoft. My oldest son, 13, enjoys the exhibits that showcase the different countries, cultures or contraptions. My daughter, 12, truly is in her element with the water section! My youngest son, 11, can't wait to build with the legos and make his favorite characters. Collectively, the love the tree house where they can see and learn about birds; the science room, where they are able to perform controlled mini experiments; and the jungle gym that reaches to the ceiling and the are able to access via a net climb or the stairs. My personal favorite is the zoo! The animals are so much fun to watch, especially when the otters get fed or play! As for my husband, he meanders around mostly, but his favorite is the theatre (even if he won't admit it)! One of the other things I loved was the Gaming Con! Basically a small Comic-Con, but with just as much fun and costumes! A family membership for a year is also very reasonably priced. If you're looking for a great place to go with your kids that is both fun and educational Boonshoft is it!

Brittney Paxton

We had an amazing family adventure day at Boonshoft! They have amazing exhibits and awesome animals to check out! The membership is awesome and worth the investment.

JJViescas

Really nice place for learning and fun!

Suprina Washington

Good place for kids to go too and I enjoy going their as well

Jennifer Hatfield

This museum is a perfect size to explore. It did not take us too long to make our way through but also a good oppurtunity to leatn and play. We definately would go back. Reasonable prices and nice gift shop and eating areas all around. Very friendly staff. Also I loved the tree house area the best. But we enjoyed it all.

james myers

Fun place for the children! They occasionally have free night specials too.

Beth Skouson

Great for all ages. My kids (15,10,2) all loved it. There is so much to do and see, the 5 hours we spent there went really quickly.

Cara Amsden

Lots of fun for kids, but some of the design is really frustrating. There is a slide that goes from the second floor to the first floor. Naturally my kids want to do the slide, but they're too small to be alone on a different floor than I am, and they can't climb up the net climbing structure by themselves, so I would have to go up and down with them. I can't do that because I have a baby either in a carrier or a stroller. I imagine wheelchair bound parents have similar frustrations. They could have struck a compromise by having the top level slide (which doesn't lead to another floor) be toddler friendly, but instead they made the entrance with steps on one side of a tube and the entrance on the other so the children have to cross over, which is too challenging for toddlers to do. So my children are frequently frustrated that they can't do the slides or climb the rope net. This place also has the most depressing "zoo" I have ever seen. Tiny, cement enclosures with no natural light. All in all, a fun place for the kids, but lots of room for improvement in function and design.

Derek Werkowitz

Our five year old grandson has loved coming to this location for years. The pass is reasonably priced and gets you into it's sister museums at no cost. We've used this benefit at the Cincinnati museum. It also gets you into the shows in the planetarium for free. There are plenty of activities to keep children entertained as well provide some educational benefits. If your child likes playing at the water table I would recommend bringing a short sleeve shirt to avoid them having wet sleeves for the rest of their visit.

Melanie Tennant, Realtor

We attended James Hood's Mesmerica. It was a contemporary graphic art and music display in the planetarium. With original music and graphic art it was mesmerizing. There were times though all the motion was a bit much and I had to close my eyes for a few seconds. We enjoyed it immensely and highly recommend it as something out of the ordinary to see.The museum were very nice and we enjoyed it as well.

Amber Halcomb

This was our first time and we will definitely be back. There is so much to do at a very reasonable price. The kids loved the water and climb are but the planetarium was my fave!

Kristy Nicholson

We were so excited to go here. I've heard nothing but good things about Boonshoft. Now that we've been there, I don't get it. We went on a specific Saturday because we wanted to see the sloth show. The schedule for the day says it's in the planetarium. The map said we were basically on top of it, but everything around us was named something else. So we go in and walk into the space room. It seemed cool at first, but most of the buttons for the displays were not working. So my 5 year old got bored I there instantly. So we keep walking. We get to the super busy kids area. It was a lot of fun, don't get me wrong, but what does it have to do with being in a museum. Kids were fighting over toy boats, parents were staring of into space, no one was learning anything. Yes, there are signs on the walls. But little kids can't read them and it's no fun to listen to mom read instructions when no-one else is following them. Honestly, it was the same story the whole way through. It was a fantastic play house, but I'll never pay $40 for 3 of us to go there again. They need staff at exhibits actually engaging with the kids. Even the girl at the tide pool didn't interact with the kids. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the sloth show. It was educational, engaging, and entertaining.

paul limpert

Great place to take the kids and let them have fun and discover things. I took my three grandchildren and the place pretty much provided the entertainment.

Micki

A fun museum. Definitely geared more towards children. The planetarium was cool. The treehouse was terrific.

Christina Golden

Great place to take your children & parents will also really enjoy this museum!

Melina Stickler

Great place for younger kids.. we took my son who is 11 and he wasn't impressed but I think it was kinda cool

John Paul

Perfect science museum for kids. Ok for fun loving adults

Jay Faulkner

This was a great little get away for our family. Perfect activity for our kids ages 10, 5 and 4. There was plenty to do, they just couldn't stand still! The remodeling looks great and it's a smaller museum if you dont like to walk a lot. Lots of science activities and information for both kids and adults. We loved going through the small animal exhibit. I would recommend to all, not too expensive, comfortable and convenient if your local.

Jennifer Gile

Attended a laserium show here and it did not disappoint! Really fun evening! Will have to visit the museum soon.

Ellen Abt

Excellent children's museum with a nice mix of natural science exhibits.

Nicole Zagorski

Fantastic! We just recently moved here and when the extended family, with 3 small kids, came to visit we decided to visit the museum. We all had such a great time. There was so much to do and random events throughout the day. We will definitely return!!!

Casey Long

My kids absolutely loved this museum. We wished the exhibits were bigger, dinosaur ect. But for the price it was hours of fun! So much science and technology hands on play pretend centers it makes up some for the exhibit.

Mando Jay

This family-friendly museum is a wonderful place to take your children on a day trip for learning and exploration! Some adults might not find much to keep them occupied, but children will absolutely love it!

Jamie Brown

This place was great! From outer space to live animals and even a tree house for bird watching. It was great for my kiddos and their cousins for the afternoon!

Claudia Studebaker

Wonderful place for children to learn and have fun

Xavier park

Amazing place for kids ages 3-10 years old. Lots of different things to explore and look it. Worth the money for a year long pass. Everytime there is something else different to look at and explore. Sometimes it can get overcrowded. Enjoy the vending machines but feel like they could make more money if they sold hot food. Personal opinion. Movie theatre is good but check on the video content cause little ones could get lost easy.

Jarred Toney

Great place for you as an adult and as a child!!! May seem pricey when you go for the first time but its really not once you go and see everything they have to offer!!! I will 100% return and most likely make it a frequent thing! The only recommendation I would have is having a better selection of lunch for people who dont bring theirs. Then it would make this place almost perfect!

Nitin Kumar

This place was a hidden gem! Lot's of hands on for the kids. Nice exhibits. A cool play area. They had a small zoo inside with animal encounters as well.

T Rose

I have two small girls, a three year old and a two year old. Both girls are always excited to come to the museum and explore. They really enjoy playing around the water table and making pizzas upstairs with all the toppings. Our two year old likes to go to the bird tower and look at all the different birds during the summer. I look forward to bringing the kids back for new exhibits in the future. Always a good time here.

Michelle Mccoy

We took our great nieces to this museum and they loved it. They have a planetarium as well as many interactive displays for all ages. They had lots of legos as well as businesses that the kids could play act. They even have live animals. We happen to arrive on Science Saturday where teens helped the kids have fun with science. I hadn't been here in years, but was surprised. So nice and my great nieces can't wait to come back and explore some more.

Ellen Puckett

Would loved to play with the stuff myself. It was cool.

Jarrod L Davis

Great little science museum with lots of interesting exhibits and interactive things for children to do

Curtis Hiser

My dad and me took his daughter here. We loved it. Many memories and thanks to the staff

Melanie MacRae

What a great place! We definitely wish we lived closer but absolutely worth the drive. If you have certain memberships check to see if you receive discounted entry. They also offer discounted admission after a certain time of day as well. They have a 3 story indoor playground and I will caution those with littles it can be a little difficult to track them sometimes once inside. They do have a snack area if you need to grab a bite for a hangry kiddo. My only word of caution is they shut down some of the bathrooms near closing time so try to get you potty break in a bit before closing, otherwise you'll have to find a bathroom elsewhere on the ride home.

Philip Meads

Great little museum- fantastic afternoon if you have kids to entertain

Erica Ellenberger

This place was amazing had so muxh stuff for my 3 year old to do he didn't want to leave. FYI: You have to pack your own food if you plan to eat on site or there are vending machines. .

Christina Miller

Clean family atmosphere. Kind and helpful employees. Will definitely return when in the area.

David Pinkney-Atkinson

Note only went to the planetarium and it was awful. If you're not sitting right in the back you cannot see anything other than what's In front of you from where you sit. Ended up in the front and visit to the chiropractor.

Jeff Brown

You can use your imagination for a change

Tristan Auer

It's a great place to spend a day with your kids. Lots of hands on activities. The large indoor jungle gym is a kids favorite.

James McCutcheon

A wonderful resource for children in the Dayton area, we visit this place every month or two. The activities and planetarium shows rotate so there's always something new to do. Something for all ages 2-10 to enjoy!

Marcella Wolf

Great for younger kids (3-10)! Lots to do for different she ranges.

Walter Moeller

Great place we will be back.

Melissa Porta

Great place for kids of all ages. Love the hands on activities for kids.

Skyler Rader

I had not visited since I was kid. Recently took my 3 year old son, it was a great change of pace because there were plenty of things for him to play with but also we were able to spend a few mins here and there actually learning. Staff was amazing, and the facility was very clean.

Lucinda Huff

Always love going here with our preschool and primary elementary grandchildren. Lots of hands-on activities in STEM, the environment, careers, as well as great living animal observation habitats. Best time to go seems to be when the museum first opens. Smaller numbers and quieter. We have a grandparent membership that we use several times a month. Great investment. (Reciprocal membership with other museums and organizations.)

Nicholas Nickert

Science and nature are too underappreciated these days. Boonshoft celebrates both. A fun and educational experience with your kids. Additionally they offer exceptional adult themed nights like Eureka and pink floyd in the planetarium.

Donna Hromada

Wonderful place for kids to learn a little bit of everything. Live animals and the education dept talks about different things on a scedule. A great place!!!!

Charla Hoernemann

Really disappointed the planetarium didn't have a program about constellations and the planets. Instead saw a simulation of an amusement park rife,

Pat I like it

Went on a field trip wirh my grandson. The kids loved the big slide more than anything

Kathryn Wall

Fun children's museum!

Melanie Newland

Educational and entertaining!! We loved it!

Timothy Divens

Boonshoft is an amazing place of adventure play and discovery for kids! They have a water table, which is a stream, a huge cargo net for kids to climb up to the second floor, a small viewing zoo with otters that are super cute, a beautiful tree house where you can sit and view all kinds of birds at their feeders, a planetarium, and a science theatre where they have numerous kid friendly science shows! Make the memories last all year and get a family membership for under $130, we’ve found it to be well worth it!!

Terry Dalton

Saw Mesmerica there. Boonshoft is a really cool place. Mesmerica is an amazing production.

Clifford Woolfork

Great alternative to the big museums. Easy to navigate. Very kid friendly.

Kristina Ennis

Great museum for bringing my 2 year old granddaughter. Spent over three hours exploring the different exhibits. A lot of hands on activities and animal exhibits.

Peony Farm

Hardly any of the exhibits were functioning. Interactive buttons didnt work, open a small door to read a fun fact, but nothing was behind it, hit a button to have information light up a specific region on a map, didnt work etc etc etc. About 20% of interactive exhibits worked. The best part was the tree house observatory.

Tiffany Hoersten

Very kid friendly with plenty to do for all ages

Sarai Fletcher

Went to a wedding here after hours, a very fun venue for a themed wedding. Highly recommend!!

Caleb Zwikelmaier

This museum is a must for parents, I would say good for kids up to teenagers. Lots of exhibits to touch and interact with. Just bring a towel and change of clothes if you let your kids play at the water table. They also have neat classes. Overall I would recommend the family pass without hesitation.

Diz Denner

Engaging, well thought out, with plenty of interactive displays.

S. VanHow10

Great place to take your kids for a day or even a few hours. Easily able to see everything in a single trip.

Grace Williams

My 2yrs old loves this Museum!

Cassandra Scott

I wished I had gotten to pet the otter. Otherwise, it's okay. I definitely would bring my nieces if I came back.

melissa fox

Great place for family fun. Lots to see.

Tommy Wood

Geared towards younger children. However, they do have an amazing planetarium which made it well worth the visit. Plenty of parking and lots of activities for children.

Kelly Robinson

My two year old loved it. Lots of things to keep her interest. The water table was a big hit. They have a really nice breastfeeding room.

Peggy Tasker

Its been so long ago since I went to the museum. However, its still a great museum to visit & do hands on. My grandson's laughter and excitement says it all. Worth taking the family for a day of fun! Staff were completely helpful, courteous & friendly.

laura anderson

I've been here twice now and both times it was loads of fun for all my kiddos. The planetarium was the highlight of our day there.

Michael Bradley

It's always a fun time here. Staff is friendly and attractions are always a good time.

Halee Hillyer

A great experience and a wonderful activity for children and adults!!!

Connie Beasley

Fun day with my visiting daughter and grandkids.

Jacob Galloway

Most diverse science museum I have ever been to!

Libby Ballengee

I don’t have kids - but the Pink Floyd lights show is fun! Get tickets ahead of time. Usually sells out. If you have dizzy style motion sickness, avoid. Don’t drink too much before hand either. Lots of spinning! But it’s so cool! Only 40min. Fun date night idea! Well organized. Comfortable chairs.

Christina Cotton

Tons of things for kids of all ages to enjoy.

Theresa Freiberger

My grand daughter and I had a fun day.

T Reasland

Great ideas, and some fantastic displays and exhibits for kids and adults alike. Too bad most of them have broken buttons or don't work. Many displays/exhibits that were supposed to be interactive, didn't work. Expensive unless you're truly planning to spend ALL day there, and even if your kids wanted to play there in one of the interactive areas all day, there's not much for parents. On the bright side, keep your receipt handy. They'll let you leave for a real lunch elsewhere and you can get back in without paying for admission a second time.

Becky Crider

This museum is great! Not too big, not too small. My only complaint is that the layout seems chaotic and disorganized and it was hard to figure out where to go next. We drove two hours from home to see it and it was three hours well spent! We'd definitely come back.

Lisa Wallace

One of my favorite places lots of kids activities.I have been going here since I was a kid and I took my son when he was younger.I love all the museum's in the dayton area.

Brian O'Harra

We took our three year old granddaughter for the first time, she loved the interactive displays, especially the water play area. We will return!

Caitlyn Truesdell

A great place to go on a rainy day with children! Lots to learn and play with. Children of all ages seem to enjoy the setup. It is a fairly small place, but that doesn't keep children from entertaining themselves for hours. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and overall pleasant to be around. The small area with the animal exhibits is fun to stop by! It would be nice if it had a bit more to offer, but they are doing a great job with what they have.

dakota Fox

Took my 3 children here for a family day out. Was a little worried as from the outside it looked a little small. But they have a large number of kid friendly activities and labs throughout the day. The planitarium is a really nice touch too which my little girls loved. It's just big enough to offer a solid days worth of fun! Great experience! Will go again.

Jessica Gillenwater

As a mobile bartender for weddings and special events, I was given the chance to see the museum and staff at night. Wonderful staff, a joy to work with!!

George Potter

Great collection of natural history displays and artifacts. Geared toward smaller children less than 10.

Amber Keiffer

Super fun place to take your kids!

Chandra Kessler

My Two year old always has a blast. We love the zoo inside.

Audrey Vincent

Had my wedding here! It was unforgettable!!

Betty Perry

Very interesting place to take your children or grandchildren. We go a couple of times a year.

Christine Huang

Great place to take young kids on rainy days. Our 15 month old had a blast with the grocery store, mini zoo and water tables. Membership is reasonable for 2 adults (kids under 3 are free)

Roger Turner

More geared for younger kids than our nine year old. Still had fun. Find a coupon as it can be pricey.

Heather Weis

This is a great place to take young children between the ages of 2 and 8 years old. Younger and older children can certainly enjoy many of the activities, but 3-8 is the sweet spot. While many of the areas focus on science and natural history, there are also exhibits/activity centers that encourage imaginative and open-ended play, which facilitates excellent early learning opportunities. My personal favorite room is the tree house where you can watch birds. It's a wooden room that has many windows, so you feel as though you are sitting in the trees among the birds.

Daniel Donahue

Just a awsome place for kids and adults, just got done doing sloth tai chi

Melissande Deardurff

Great place to go with kids 10 and under. Older kids might not be as interested, but smaller children love the hands on experience.

aiden marcum

Just boring and doesn't stick out

E H

This is a very nice museum that has lots to offer for elementary age kids. We have enjoyed every visit

Amy Hallum

Beautiful! Friendly staff including security. I have taken my son multiple times and we always enjoy it. I recently attended a wedding there and it was unique and awesome. They showed the stars and planets in the planetarium correlating with the bride and grooms birthdates until their wedding date.

Rick Bianco

A great exploration for kids. There are plenty of activities that encompass a wide swath of scientific topics.

Marti Pringle

Amazing!!! Everything was interactable and kept the kids interested and entertained the whole time!! So educational and FUN at the same time....so glad we found it!

random minion

kids love this place 100%

Vocaloid_Victrix

If you are vacationing in Dayton, this place is essential to visit, especially if you have children. It is a small but wonderful museum that has a healthy mix of science and history. The main attractions are an astronomy section with a planetarium (the astronomy section has no extra fee, but the planetarium does), a treehouse for bird-watching, a small "town" area for kids to play in, a big sphere in the back where different video of the Earth is projected, and a little animal exhibit on the second floor. This place only has two floors but is great fun!

Traveling T

It wasn't too bad. It was a great place if you are want to just let your kids play. The day I went was free so look for super science Saturday.

Karen Donker

Great place for kids. Loved the planetarium

Aiden Schwable

Just got back from here, and I had a good amount of fun. It is a much better experience for little kids around 3-7 years old because of all the more basic hands- on equipment. It is a good way for little kids to learn about science and Ohio's lakes, rivers, and Dayton's recycling. I recommend coming here if you have a younger child that loves science!

Mandy Ferrell

My kids love this place! Great for ages 2-8. They even have a little zoo.

joy herring

This is a great place to take the children to learn new and exciting things

Hans Hofmann

Was here for a wedding and I loved it! Ceremony in the planetarium was awesome. We got to walk around the museum including a very nice zoo. Highly recommend.

Hannah Benston

I have been here multiple ti.es in last couple of months. They have hosted awesome things i have gotten to be a part of such as Geekfest and are serving as ths venue for mt sisters wedding. Staff is friendly and fun and has everything in order. This is a great place for people of all ages.

Mads Petersen

Very cool place, I've never been to a museum like this one, usually it's something like art or wildlife, but this is totally different. Highly recommend it.

Brittany Smith

Fantastic experience for families of any age group! Very knowledgeable staff and extremely friendly! Highly recommend!

Jessica Jones

We were there for my niece's birthday and the kids had a blast. Thank you for inspiring our children to think outside the box. I miss the Legos!

Charlie Brown

Love this place! Always clean and well maintained. We pack lunch and snacks and can spend all day there. They have microwaves and vending machines at break room.

Christopher Johnson

Was good. Great, informative, pronoun.
