First time visiting. Easy to find, plenty of close parking...though I did find it a little hard to know for sure where the entrance was but I found it. Better signing would be better. Not that interested in the whole science part of the place myself though I'm sure kids would enjoy it. I went for the animal discovery. I'm... More

This place is amazing. A petting Zoo, science center and and soon to be SciQuarium all in one. Can't beat that !! Not too big to get wore out though. Little snack area (w/ machines but nothing extravagant) on ground level If you get hungry and right next to the park if you want to have a picnic. Love the... More

The Science Center has so many things for kids to do! Make sure you eat before you come because they don't have a cafe yet. We enjoyed the Elmo and Big Bird omnisphere show, the tigers were great and all the other animals they have in their zoo area. They have cool dinosaurs constructed out of bones in their actual...

My family has been here several times. It has something for us all. The zoo is especially nice. There are tigers and other wild life to view and several animals you can touch and interact with. The staff is very knowledgeable and patience to answer questions of our children as well as us adults. The interior exhibits are engaging. The... More

Great place to take your kids for an outing. Lots of things for them to do and try out. Very appropriate for kids under about 8. Our daughter loved it and it was a good reasonable way to spend a summer day.

Great stop off with lots to do inside and out so perfect in all weathers. The zoo outside was great and the animals all looked really relaxed and happy. They have a fabulous and extraordinary two headed terrapin that was amazing and the volunteer worker was lovely in taking time to chat with us and allow the children to pet... More

It was hard to pick a date for our visit because we actually go several times a year... and I don't have younger children anymore. The Science Center has something for kids of all ages and the traveling exhibits are usually well worth the trip. Our favorite part is the zoo, which although small, offers an up-close view of the...

Enjoyed this animal! He made the trip worth it. Only two zoos in America have this animal. He was very active.
