Liz Senser
★★★★★2 years agoA very cool place to take children. Depending on their age will determine just how much of the exhibit they will enjoy. That being said, kids 5+ will find something interesting. It's a pretty cool museum to visit!
ALESSANDRO LOVO
★★★★★9 months agoVery interactive museum, designed mostly for kids. However, I went with a friend, both of us grown adults, and we had a lot of fun. The vortex tunnel was veeeery trippy, definitely our favorite highlight
