As many times as we have been to the Science Discovery Center ("the Cube"), the kids and we parents have never been disappointed. The permanent exhibits on weather, dinosaurs, technology and the physics of sports are wonderful and we look forward to seeing new traveling exhibits, which somehow seem to top those in other science museums in the nation. We use reciprocal membership with other science museums to make our membership well worth the price. Finally, there are fantastic curriculum guides at the entrance for all grade levels. We have been coming here for field trips since my older son (almost 13) was a toddler and both he and his little brother (almost 8) take away something new every time. They beg to go to this museum and we rarely say no.

The Discovery Science Center is great, especially for kids over 6 yrs. We love to visit the travelling exhibits, which usually inspires our kids to do further research. The bats exhibit was wonderful. My kids love going into the tornado tunnel and pretend they're in a real tornado. Going outdoors into the dinosaur area is fun too, walking "through" a dinosaur and seeing what comes out makes my kids laugh. My kids always learn something new or discover something they hadn't noticed before. Expect to spend a few hours exploring this museum.

Our first trip was pretty amazing for the kids. The next trip was even better. My 7yr old son loved the science of hockey. My 11 yr old son wouldn't leave the recycling game center. The girls shopped in the virtual grocery store for ever!All were able to do this at the same time and I could easily walk back and forth to watch them. The exhibits are all hands on and fun for littles while informative for the older kids.
