"Fun for a wide swath of ages"

Very educational and fun all rolled in one. I was nervous about bringing my 22 month old son here for the day and finding nothing for him to do. I was surprisingly mistaken. We were there for 2 hours and were busy for the entire time! Everything in the Science Center is hands-on, so there are plenty of things for any youngster.
My son loved the exhibit dedicated to the construction industry on the first floor. I think he has a potential career as a plumber because he loved connecting all the pipes and valves together to the hot and cold water outputs. Lots of fun. The other highlight was the sneezing nose in the health area. He wasn't able to throw the balls effectively into the nostril of the nose, but loved watching the older kids throw the balls into the nose and then watching the nose sneeze them all out all over the floor.
