Buying a family membership at your local science center will get you a passport for entrance to science centers all over the nation. It's definitely a bargain if you can visit several in a year! This one is noisy. They don't seem to require minors to be supervised by responsible adults at a reasonalbe ration of children/adult.
This place is fantastic!!!
PROS:
Well-designed, educational, and FUN!!!
Best value for the admission price compared to other nearby kid-friendly places.
Strollers allowed: came recommended by a local mom of two who noted that it would allow us to roam around with strollers (the Aquarium and Children's Museum do not).
Live science demos throughout: These really make the place come...

Nothing like it for a hands-on science experience for the kids. Was my favorite place to take the kids on those rainy afternoons, or during the winter, when they have been cooped up and need to blow off steam.
The Maryland Science Center is fantastic and great visit for the whole family. I am well traveled and in my opinion this is the best place to get an introduction to the world of Science.

We have been to different museums in Washington DC, Australia and some part in SE Asia which have dinosaurs exhibits but this Science Center has the tallest dinosaur we've ever seen! On the...

If you are visiting Baltimore Inner Harbor and you have kids this is the place to take them. There are so many activities for them to do and see. You can spend time at the Science Center than walking around the Inner Harbor, lots to see of Baltimore.
A bit pricey and smaller than I was hoping for but it was fund and the kids had a great time and that's what is most important to me.
After seeing all of the good reviews, was really looking forward to visiting, even though its a bit pricey. It almost seemed half of the exhibits did not function correctly, if at all. The third floor barely had anything on it. We chose not to see an IMAX movie, because the admission itself was (I think) $17 for an adult,...
