in the last weekIt’s a pretty decent museum overall. I’d recommend it more for kids around 6–7 and up, as they’ll likely enjoy it more. A lot of the exhibits aren’t very hands-on, so my child got bored fairly quickly. We stayed about an hour. Tickets for one adult and one child were around $13–$25. Not bad for a short visit, but better suited for slightly older kids.”

2 weeks agoIt's a nice museum but it needs some upgrades. Especially in the toddler area. There isn't much for them to do besides walk around and go thru a small tunnel. It need more. My toddler was so bored aftwr being in there for 5 minutes. It was extremely hot inside and the elevator was not working. I was told the ac doesn't work well cause it's an old building. My toddler didn't feel comfortable the whole time she was there cause she was sweating sweating. We ended up just leaving before seeing everything.
