I have taken my kids to this museum a couple of times and each time we explore a little bit more. I disagree with the other reviewer--I think there are plenty of exhibits and hands-on activities for kids. Maybe, though, this is a better place for younger kids, not teens or tweens. Admission is pretty cheap, and it makes a great family rainy day activity to come here and walk around.
It's a great place to take the kids because alot of their exhibits are interactive.
They have lasers,magnets,animation, botany ,anatomy and alot of other exhibits.
PROS: The kids can get involved and really enjoy it
CONS:
