This was a day well spent. Based on all there was to do, I knew it was going to be an all day visit, which it was. It is a museum for children (I wasn't sure if it was also going to be an adult museum, but it was really for kids). My 7 year old loved it. I thought that the actual museum was just ok -- it wasn't super large. But all the add ons made it super special (the planetarium, the laser show, and the IMAX, all of which we did). While the planetarium and laser show are included with the tickets, you have to reserve them when you get your tickets. So it's important to either buy your tickets in advance (I think the planetarium can't be reserved in advance before the day of but I'm not sure, we bought our tickets in person the morning of) or arrive early day of. Sure enough, some of the things were full by noon and I was glad we started early. It's a full day to get in an IMAX show (extra cost), the planetarium, and the laser show, which are all timed tickets. The butterfly area is super cool. They had a show of illusions which was super fun. There's a room of hands on physics things that are super fun for kids. We stayed until they closed and we started shortly after they opened. It's a little intense with kids running around, but it's manageable. They do not have a place to eat, so be sure to pack lunches. We didn't have time to leave and get food, so we wound up just eating the snacks I brought. My daughter also caught a cold after being there, which makes sense with all the kids and their germs, so be prepared for some exposures, and perhaps plan the timing in your trip accordingly.
