    It's truly a wonderful place to visit. So many things to see. Great for family outings. Even has painting classes on the ground floor and play center for the kids on the 3rd floor. Highly recommended

    Hidden gem. The Asian exhibits and the Ballentine house are my favorites. Largest museum in NJ.

    The Dreyfuss Planetarium opened in 1953 and is the oldest in New Jersey. More than 1.5 million people have star-gazed here. A NASA grant made possible recent high definition and sound upgrades. Read more

    Disappointed that most of the stuff for the seven year old was closed. This the first time we were able to get there with membership, that expires this weekend. Don't see a reason to renew.
