If you're from the area, you remember going to the Museum of Science as a kid with your school class. I know we went at least three times in elementary school for some exhibit or another. I went back…

You probably came here once or twice on a field trip as a child, and the good news AND the bad news is this: little has changed. It's still the classic spot for dinosaurs and the human body, but be…

This is a great place to visit, because the adults can be learning about science while the toddlers are thrilled to push buttons and run up and down ramps. truly fun for the whole family!

The exploration room for kids is great. My toddler loved the water play tables and many other exhibits. It gets crowded so go early!

Not really for babies < 1 year. There was nothing to really keep my baby entertained, it is mostly for older kids. There was no place to nurse him other than the extremely loud dining area. Save this for when...

It's getting tired -- so much has not changed since I was a kid -- in the 70s! But it's still good for kids, especially those in the 4-12 range.
