  • It’s a great informative place for both kids & adults. You will enjoy science facts by interacting with it, my 3 kids especially the 5 years old enjoyed it a lot by building robots. It’s a fair price for spending few hours there. There is a small play area for toddlers, my 1 year old spend some time in it and was happy. Must visit when you are in Lancaster
  • We took our grandchildren and they loved it. We purchased the Grandparents membership, which will allow us to return later this summer to checkout the outside activities. It was a little crowded and kiddos got antsy waiting for their turns once in a while, but everyone was kind and considerate. Great place to spend an afternoon!
  • My first time coming here and my children had a super awesome time. Educational and fun to explore. It was free admission for ebt recipient which I was shocked haha. Highly recommend we spent at least 2 hours in a half my son did not want to leave and he's 3.
  • Visited today with my 8 year old daughter. We spent 2 1/2 hours exploring everything and were quite entertained. The hands-on exhibits were well maintained and very educational. I’ve been to bigger science museums that weren’t this well maintained. Kudos to the staff and volunteers!
  • The kids had a ton of fun here. It is definitely geared towards older kids but they had things to entertain the baby and even adults. We spent 2 and 1/2 hours here and could easily have spent more. Parking is convenient and the exhibits are spread out so it didnt seem crowded. The kids are already talking about going back
