Love this place. We come through the area about once a winter and our daughter has been here multiple times (now 4yos). We're at the stage where she can explore and investigate more on her own but it's been a great place for all four years of visiting. Worth the price, so much to do, and even if they appear busy with school programs you don't notice it.

This place is amazing. Every display except the live animals is interactive. They have classes for children and even have a play area outside for them. But it's not just a great place for kids, adults will also find the displays fun to use and enjoy learning like the kids.
