First I love that this museum was open until 8pm! It was refreshing to walk around the museum in the evening hours with the fam during a time when we are typically home winding down from the day. But since this is a part of our winter vacation break the experience was even that much sweeter. As a mother with a child in college, high school and elementary I found that this museum satisfied Althea interest of all 3 of my children while keeping my husband and I entertained. Highly interactive from the see through escalator when you enter to the variety of gadgets, exhibits, and presentations, this museum was the perfect family activity.
My favorite exhibit was the deep water dive. A simple but impactful simulated experience of descending deep into the ocean while holding breath. The lights, sounds, and environment made it as realistic as it could be in a museum. The star exhibits we memorable with the different interactive concepts to convey space, time and matter. This place is huge. It was about the size of a very large mall. Perhaps it's not a bad idea to turn the unused malls at home into museums like this that stay open till 8 or even 10 at night. I think it would be a very effective way to pull people away from the black mirror and back into the real world. Love this museum! Definitely coming back to finish seeing the rest of it.
