We loved this little Museum. I`m sure it is aimed more at children than at senior adults like ourselves, but it looked great from outside and we decided to go in and investigate. Lots of interactive things to do and interesting facts to be learned. We spent a while in there and read everything .. Well worth a visit!

Nothing much to see here. Coming from Atlanta, Georgia where we have the Children’s Science Museum, this museum was a disappointment. Small simple exhibits. A few weeks ago we came on Monday and they were closed. So we walked an hour to get there again on Wednesday, and they were closed. The guide was very nice.
