I'm giving the museum an excellent rating because it exists and the grandkids love it! I think some of the problems with broken/missing pieces at exhibits is the lack of supervision some children have.

My nephew had a party here. they live in Maine. this place is wonderful. there are plenty of activities for the kids to do. A child will not be bored here. kids love this place.

Ashley Baker

There are so many exhibits that my kids never care if a few aren't working, and we especially love that there are so many areas even the little ones can enjoy!

Bruce Lovett

The price is more than reasonable for the market, the staff is super friendly and helpful. The biggest seller for me, my daughter had a blast and wants to go back! So kudos to the staff, keep up the good work!
