What families say

“What a neat place! My 7 year old daughter had such a good time, we had to sign up for the membership. I'm surprised how inexpensive it is for the value you get.” — Chris Tredennick

“We used a Groupon and it was so fun! My 9 and 10 year old kiddos were sad the hour went so quickly. We were able to do 4 experiments and take home one of them (slime!!). We'll be back!” — Maloree Lofthouse

“I had a great experience there working through the multiple experiments with my children. Each station is named after a major contributing scientist. It was very organized and the hands-on experience was spot on. I would suggest purchasing the membership because you will definitely want to come back.” — Madame Tameika
