4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Some of the displays are aging and pretty common to be found at other places. But it's free and still entertaining.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Cool experience but definitely geared towards kids

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Well thought out. Grandchildren had a wonderful time. Spent the whole day there.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Definitely better suited for children as opposed to adults. My husband and I went because we're both science nerds, but just thought it was okay if you are an adult. Great for the kiddos though!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Liked the Pompeii exhibit, but otherwise too noisy. Really a place for kids/families. As a single traveler it wasn't for me.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Old planetarium is basically empty. New side has lots of great stuff.
