Cut the kids a break and let them touch any of the 150 interactive exhibits here.. Facts
In the museum's distinctive 52,000-square-foot purple building, children can learn about electricity, bubbles, water pumping, air pressure, banking, the post office, mathematics and many other subjects. The museum is spacious and well lit, and there's a good museum store with toys, books, and games for kids of all ages. The Wonder Cabinet focuses on subjects accessible to children ages four and under.

Features
Crawl around and through a real fire truck, ambulance, and stagecoach. There's an old telephone switchboard, a bass drum that plays your heartbeat, puppet-making and performing facilities, and face painting. Kids of all ages can enjoy the WaterWays exhibit, where colorful plastic balls help illustrate the way water gushes and flows. In the Garden, Bubblogna and a variety of theater experiences. Even if you're over 50, your inner child will have a good time.

Great experience for kids. The Bubbles exhibit was our son's favorite! Crawling through a real fire engine and ambulance was also a highlight. We stayed at the museum for two hours and our three-year old didn't get bored. It was worth the trip!

one time deal. If you've never been then it's worth one trip, but that's about it. Most of the exhibits are the same for the past many years.. They need to add more exhibits or atleast change a few.
