Absolutely amazing venue and such an incredible friendly stuff. Our director who spoke with us did a phenomenal job right that we only had a short minute. I appreciate the owner always checking on people and checking in group. This place but wasn’t sure when it’s open and it is officially open and functioning and it is so worth taking students here for field trips or anytime.

Very interactive and informative. I loved the opportunity to experience inside a space shuttle. We were here for an event so no wait.

I liked how the museum has included more things with ticket emission. Before you had to pay for exhibits, planetarium. However, a lot of the exhibits are broken and missing pieces. The escalator were broken. Also, almost every hand sanitizer station was empty. After being in the exhibit of life I just wanted to clean my hands and I literally had to walk to a restroom to wash them.

Such a well done museum with educational and interesting exhibits. And don't forget to take in a 3-D IMAX film while there.
