"Great for little kids"
I have taken my kids here for the past few years, but now that they are a little older (10 and 13), the only interesting part for them would probably be the hurricane simulator and the small animal area outside. If you have younger kids, maybe 8 and under, they will enjoy this place a lot more. This museum needs more exhibits and events for kids in the area. There's always so much empty floor space each time I go. Again, nice place to visit for an afternoon, but could be so much better.

"Entertaining "
This museum had a variety of activities for children. The highlights included a petting aquarium where you could touch stingrays, a 4-D movie, feeding pond, interactive exhibits, and aquarium/terrarium room. There is also a play area for small children. Some of the exhibits were not working, but there was definitely plenty to do to keep us entertained a good portion of the day.

"Fun with the Family"
The facility takes over the city’s old waterworks and is clever in how it uses that as a theme. Everything is bright, colorful, and kid-fascinating (parent-fascinating, too). A Hurricane Experience chamber “blows ’em away,” and a see-through mechanical body demonstrates how body parts work.
Tots can crawl through a maze or play in a tiny house with cutaways showing building techniques. Older kids can “Be a Meteoroogist” by selecting thunderstorm, hurricane, or tornado, then watching themselves broadcast on location via closed-circuit monitor.
A movie theater shows animated features, aquariums and a touch tank display local and reef water life, a kid-size bank venue teaches about the world of financing, and an exhibit in the form of a car shows the effects of chemical abuse. Its gift shop sells a superb selection of child enrichment books and science-related games.
