Then we went into the discovery center where littloe kids play in there own safe zone area. After we went into the IMAX Theater and saw African Adventure 3D, it was amazing seeing it on the 5 story high... more

It was in an old house and each... more

They have reptile exhibits and lots of creepy-crawly bug exhibits as well as an enclosed toddler area. Then upstairs they have several exhibits... more
