This museum was great fun and had lots of exhibits. An unexpected highlight were the full size steam locos!! The space display was informative and great fun. Lots of artifacts from the past. A good fun place - the crazy kitchen!!

We were disappointed with this museum; it seemed primarily designed for young children. Consider skipping it if no one in your party is under ten.

We spent the good 4 hours at this museum, and probably could have stayed for longer. The museum really had something for everyone. I enjoyed the demonstrations being given about electricity and chryogenics.

I've been going to this museum since I was young child and this time I brought mine. She is too young to interact with 99% of the exhibits but seeing her walk up to the trains and do the motion while saying choochoo was pretty freaking sweet. The museum hasnt changed much since I was a kid with the exception... More
