    It's okay but kinda crowded and the exhibits feel a little dated. Still decent for a museum though.

    Great museum for rainy days or when it's too hot outside. The water activities were a highlight. Prices are reasonable.

    Definitely worth it! So many hands-on exhibits. We easily spent 4 hours and my kids wanted more time. Educational and fun.
