Janine DelmanJanuary 21, 2012The dinosaur exhibit was cool, but not worth the money they charge for it.
KseniAugust 23, 2015Наверное, лучший детский музей, который я видела! Помимо постоянных выставок есть сезонные, и все просто "бомба"! Провели 5 часов, с обедом в местной столовой, кстати, там вкусно)
DeniseApril 18, 2016El mejor museo de ciencias que he visitado ❤️ es enorme y hay actividades para todos, en especial claro para los pequeños
Murat GonulSeptember 27, 2016En az yarım gün sürecek muhteşem bir interaktif bir müze. Gitmişken kubbe ekranda IMAX film de izlemek lazım, planetariumda da film izlemek lazım. Biz çok etklilendik!

"Technically an OMNIMAX theater as its humongous screen is dome shaped and angled 30° toward the audience. Originally meant for 45 min documentaries, so you may need some Advil for theatrical movies."
