"Great place to go play and learn"
This is a wonderful museum for kids and adults! There is a lot to see and do, so plan for a few hours at least. You could even spend the entire day there if you wished to. There is a cafe to have lunch or a snack and part of the admission price includes a ticket to a Planetarium show. We visited in December and there was a beautiful all ages laser show that played holiday music and showed all of the constellations in the sky. It was so much fun ! If your thinking about planning a visit, you can always check out their website and view the Planetarium schedule for shows and times as they change from time to time. A favorite activity for my 7 year old daughter is digging for fossils near the dinosaur exhibit. The museum itself is huge and several floors tall. The cool thing is there is a glass elevator that you can take which is nice if you have a stroller or have someone with you who has trouble with stairs or is too tired from all the walking! There are places for younger kids to climb around and a ton of hands on exhibits for the whole family to enjoy.

"Great for Kids!"
We have been to the Rochester museum and Science Center & Strasenburgh Planetarium a handful of times. They always offer different shows and have extra exhibits in the halls for the kids to look at. It has some very useful information and a great way to burn some of their energy. The show admission prices are fair, but if you become a member you can always get a better deal. The actual planetarium is pretty big and seats quite a few people!

"Lots to do"
So many exhibits to explore, including traveling exhibits. The kids love to go upstairs and build with Legos, see how a pulley works, light up a bulb, and more. On the main floor they have a way for you to be a meteorologist, take a simulated flight, and climb around in their "maze." Each exhibit has something kid friendly so they won't get bored, and parents can still enjoy themselves.
