Verified traveler

Definitely a typical children's museum. Good quality features. Lowest level geared more towards younger children. Second and third floors feature more STEAM type activities that all ages could enjoy. I have 13, 11 and 8 year olds. They were each able to find things to entertain themselves. Good for about 3 hours or so.

4/5 - Good

Go early and be aware you will be there for at least a couple hours.
