| - Bobby and I headed here on for #SundayFunday (lol) Since he is from Florida, he didnt get the chance to come here as a kid. I probably have not been here since i was in 5th grade (& i have never been to Sports Works) so I was excited.
The first thing that we did was the bottom level astronaut thing. You're harnessed and then you are floating in the air. The purpose is to try an open the doors and move down the levers like an astronaut would. I thought Bobby would chicken out for his fear of heights but he didnt.... I was actually the one that freaked out up there. For one, the harnessed really hurt my leg so I was totally uncomfortable. I shouldn't have looked down because I was only thinking the worse case scenario while only being protected by a giant mommy clip. "I lasted a whole minute once at the top before asking to come down.
We stopped at every other floor. Unfortunately, the railroad was closed. I'm assuming they are prepping it for the Christmas theme because a sign said that it would re-open 11/26. The robot floor (same floor as railroad) was totally cool. There were multiple kids there so we didn't try to wait in line.. i would've felt bad if a kid had to wait because two adults were playing, lol. I loved watching the robot play basketball... totally cool.
The other floors were kind of forgettable (for adults of course) I remember some of the displays and hands on activities, but i can't remember what each floor represented. There was one floor that had a special section for 3-6 year olds. It reminded me of the Children's Museum. I can't wait to bring my niece to that area!
We headed to the Sports Works. By that time, we were both hungry and decided not to eat at the Science Center & instead go out for a nice lunch afterwards. Bobby didn't want to wait in line for all of the things.. It was pretty busy because it was a Sunday when the Steelers played on Monday. The lines weren't long, but each thing took awhile while doing it.. so add 5-8 people in front of you and being hangry, we just didnt feel like waiting. We did do the ride that takes you on a trip inside your body. That was cool.
The best part was the submarine. We really had fun and it was soooooo cool to see what life was like for them.
Next time, we will most likely bring my niece. We had a nice time, but im sure with a child along it would be more entertaining. Bobby & I have been wanting to do the 21+ night, so that is also on our list. We also want to check out the theater as well as the laser show they have. I also think they offer star gazing on clear Friday nights :) We will have to look into all of that!
My review kind of sounded a little debbie-downer/ish but we did have fun! Obviously it is geared toward kids but we enjoyed our time together :)
* I just want to make a note that I experienced amazing customer service at the front desk by a man named Sherman. Whenever I went to pay I handed him cash that was all messy (I normally just use card). After he counted it, he realized i was a dollar short so i paid up. A few minutes after leaving to explore the science center, I heard my name on the intercom to come to the front desk (awkward).. anyway he said that the $1 had slipped and fell into his cash register then returned it. How sweet! He didn't have to go all out of his way for that $1. Great job sir!
