    Great selection for the kids. Remembered it as much more interesting and that was true when I was 11 years old. But definitely a great place for the young ones.

    One of the greatest places for families to have fun - there's always something for all age groups.Be sure to check showtimes so you can plan accordingly and make the most of your visit.

    Educational, great value, huge space. Great place to learn hands on. Im from LA and their science center sucks compared to this one. Enjoyed even without kids. Or maybe enjoyed more because no kids.

    Great place for kids. A little pricey for adults with plenty to do for all. Check out the kids play areas immediately to the left of the check in area.

    My son and I spent hours here! So many different fun exhibits to explore. They change them out too- so check online for what they are featuring!

    Perfect day trip to learn and have fun. Some exhibits change frequently, but my favorite is Dino Digs. Great for the whole family to enjoy!

    My 2yr old daughter had a blast. Lots of fun things to do. I wish they had better restaurants indoors. Was sad to see subway in there.

    Once they ruled the Earth, now they rule Orlando Science Center. All your dinosaur favourites are here. A Jurassic highlight? The chance to unearth your own fossils in the DinoDig.

    Perfect place for families with younger children to escape the heat - children will love the summer camps and the dinosaur exhibits.

    Great Place! Kids loved all of the different activities. If we lived local we would have a membership.

    The family membership is the best buy because it was only $20. More than what it cost the four if us to go in for one afternoon.

    The new Kinetic Zone is a much needed new addition. Be prepared to spend lots of fun times here with your kids :-)

    So much to do for kids, but weekends are very crowded and some kids have no manners and a complete disregard for others. I also found it way too pricey at $18 for a 2-year old

    Not bad for a weekend visit. Pretty interesting that comes with a cheaper price. Highly recommended!

    I think the museum was well worth it. I enjoyed every minute of it. I don't think you need a membership however.

    Want to make the most out of your visit? Pick up a daily schedule of activities from the admissions desk on Level 2 when you pay for admission. Don't forget to request your film tickets too!

    Boring if you go here alone. Most of the stuff here is for children. There are not a lit of interesting stuff for grownups. It's nice that you can watch movies here.

    I was chaperoning a field trip and felt that the staff was very disorganized for something that they must do on a regular basis. Lots of standing around and wasted time!

    Look for the snapping turtle on the bottom floor. He should have a sign dedicated to him.

    For all the science and technology out there that a place like the OSC is supposed to showcase, you'd think they would get with the program and have debit/credit card forms of payment for the parkade.
