  • What a delightful experience at the Explorium science center located in Mobile, Alabama. We arrived around 1pm and they closed at 4. We had plenty of time to enjoy the exhibit, including the optical illusion, the interactive flight simulator, which we paid extra for, and we also paid extra for one of the movies in the dome theater. there is street side, parking and a parking lot but not a very large one. They have a snack, bar available with pizza, hotdogs, popcorn, and nachos and an assortment of beverages. a great place to bring children of any age or just come with a friend. I highly recommend an exploration of this wonderful museum.
  • Really fun Halloween party. Kids enjoyed it. But a lot of the exhibits were old and some did not work. Kind of small. I got in on their reciprocal membership program so definitely worth it for me.
  • Had an excellent time! The wheelchair/stroller ramp was very accessable. Polite staff and very helpful guides! The snack bar was even reasonably priced!
  • Well-maintained and educational place to spend a couple of hours. The Exploreum is ideal for school-aged kids, but there's something for all ages here. The center is convenient to shops and restaurants and is also next-door to the excellent History Museum of Mobile.
  • Thus place reminds me of the hall of science in NYC!!! So many cool educational interactive exhibits and even a new virtual reality aerial game. Super cool guys.
