★★★★★a month agoWe went on free admission Wednesday and that must be same day schools plan field trips because between the Science and History museums there must have been 6 to 8 different groups of various age school children. I would say this added a layer to the experience rather than detracted, but it did lead to a bit of crowding at times. Seeing so many children taking in the culture was wonderful though! Definitely worth seeing while we were here.
Shyvonne Lee
★★★★★3 months agoVery fun and interesting place for both adults and kids. There's a children's gallery on the top floor where kids are allowed to explore and discover by play. Every floor has different topics which are very interesting with interactive learning. From dinosaurs to space and the future. We easily spent 3 hours in the museum. Highly recommend to go!
