Wonderful science museum. I love the expansions to the outdoor animal habitats. Absolutely beautiful and easy to navigate. The renovated dinosaur exhibit is also really nice. The theater has a good variety of shows, but be sure to get in line early. The aquarium is a favorite spot; the penguins are so fun to watch. The behind the scenes tour of the aquarium is an extra cost, but it's worth it if you're interested in sea life. Really good tour.
I absolutely love this place. First time here and no disappointment. Animals were up close and easy to see. The stingray pond was awesome and to be able to touch them was an experience within itself. There was MANY varieties of species to see. Nice, clean pathways and not too crowded. I will be visiting again!
Our family loves our trips here. The exhibits are fantastic, and the facilities are super. There is something here for everyone in the family to enjoy. We like that there are some more unique animals and that there are lots of interactive elements to play with or on. A visit during the winter lights is also a must-do.
Had a wonderful time visiting the center. It would have been better on a cooler day or maybe earlier in the morning. The kids did not enjoy the zoo part in the heat and the animals were smart staying inside.
Was impressed with the amount of butterflies they had. Lots of play areas for kids to enjoy. The aquarium section had a good variety of fish and other animals to see. The dinosaur area was okay but wasn't a highlight. Pretty basic.
Bonus we got to see the baby red panda they had in the hospital building. It was so adorable.
My first visit since 1989, why did I wait so long? It was a family all-day outing, with local immediate family, and visiting out-of-state extended family, ages 6 to 60. Everyone enjoyed everything! Animal exhibits were appropriately sized, with plenty of room to roam, clean and well-kept; animals looked healthy, well-tended and fed; guides were fairly knowledgeable, pleasant, and eager to answer questions. It was the first really hot day of the season, glad to have the ample shady and cool places to take occasional rest breaks. Like very much we could bring in our coolers, and also have a place to enjoy picnic lunch. The café is a nice affordable option to bring your own. Loved the aquarium, the interactive scientific exhibits, the animal hospital, the petting zoo, play areas, everything! The carousel is especially nice and enjoyable, a good end to the day. Can't wait to see the new expansions and exhibits when they open. We are considering season passes for the family.
