I really like taking my boys to the Science Center. They have beautiful exhibits, the new Math Alive is wonderful. I must admit my boys didn't try everything as they wanted to see other exhibits but they did the mars lander & the snowboarding. The climbing wall was too small. Measuring your arms and graphing was good.
They love the weather platform and my older boy got on the bike and had fun. They spent tons of time in the addiction area. (grrreat...) The outside water area is great but know they will get wet, very wet.
We always eat at the little restaurant downstairs which is fairly pricey but very decent. I've had the wrap which is big, french fries yummy and a big serving for all to share. The boys have eaten the hot dog, meatball sandwich and chicken sandwich and always happy. For 5 of us it's about $45. No booze. Yeah, I know, why would they have booze? Right, because it is soooo loud in this place. The ceiling is so low, the restaurant so little and so, so many little children who are so tired and hungry and screaming. That's why I mention they don't have booze. It's a warning, heed.
All and all a great place I do wish they had a older kid time as the little ones have a difficult time sharing which makes it hard for the older kids to actually get the 'science' out of an exhibit.
