The best science museum in the South. The aquarium and storm exhibits are a must. They still have the Mars rover simulator and the KaleidoVision, which have been there for over twenty years!

Huge, beautiful, well kept children’s museum for all ages. Dedicated toddler area (up to age 6) is great. Numerous exhibits, IMAX included with ticket. Could spend the whole day here easily.

So many of my childhood memories were made at this place! We lived 30 mins north, but still had a membership to come and go freely as we liked!

Right now under construction so some exhibits are closed for remodeling but they give free passes to come back. Expected completion Nov. 2011 with lots of new exhibits. Still awesome with lots to do!

The otters are the best part, but all the creatures here seem a little sad and need more room. Otherwise my boyfriend loved the airplane exhibits but the place really needs to be cleaned. :/

Come here with my summer camp every year, and this time had a terrible experience. The staff was so rude, and treated our camp like crap. Hopefully we won't be doing business with them anymore.
