    Loved this place. My three-year-old was enthralled with everything and I particularly appreciated the baby area so my seven-month-old could enjoy it, too. I've never seen them both as engaged and having such a great time as our experience here - especially during the live show.

    True that it's probably better for smaller kids - six or so and younger, I would think. One star knocked off because of exhibits being pretty messy - of course anywhere you have kids fooling with stuff it's going to be chaotic, but they could have used a couple extra employees to put exhibits back together in a few spots. And it's also true that the kids are too busy playing with stuff to care about the "educational" aspects - nobody is reading the cards or exhibit info except the parents, so it's up to you to explain to your kid why something works the way it does - or just sit back and watch them have fun.

    Overall, fabulous time. We were visiting from out-of-state; if we lived closer I'd definitely be getting a membership.

    Pass on this unless you have really small children and absolutely nothing else to do. My 5 and 7 year old were done with this in less than an hour. Not a lot to do and the exhibits seem geared for really young children.

    too much money for little things to do: For my 9 and 5 year old, the place was fun, but for us the almost $50 we had to pay for a family of 4 was too much money to just play with toys. Save your money and buy a pizza at chuck e cheeses.
