What to expect?
As you enter you learn about stars, big bang theory and how planets form. These are silent videos to watch with a sign giving a brief explanation about the exhibit.
Most of the exhibits are interactive allowing kids to press buttons, move objects and so on. The key is to read the exhibit to understand what your supposed to do, its learning and then play with exhibit to fully understand the concept. This works with older kids not tiny hands.
We took 2 hours here and it still wasn't enough! Its a fun way for kids to learn about planets, gravity, mirrors, light properties, eclipse, a out of space mock up, and so much more.
I do hope you enjoy your visit and do drop us a comment if they were any additions or closures.
