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

Cool experience but definitely geared towards kids
5/5 - Excellent

Well thought out. Grandchildren had a wonderful time. Spent the whole day there.
3/5 - Okay

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

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