The best surprise we get for our trip! The museum is good for all ages. My 9 & 11-year-old boys got so much fun there that we visited it three days in a row! There are over a hundred exhibits there and people working at the workshop are actively creating more exhibits with ideas collected from all over the world! This is world class creation and innovation! Even the clock there is made with excellent thoughts and fun to watch! Don't miss it! It is way better than the expensive just-for-show California Academy of Sciences

Fun even without kids, lots of tactile exhibits which are interactive and quite engaging. I figured I would be in here perhaps an hour or two, but I was here about 4+ hours playing with everything as it was so much fun trying everything out. At first I thought it was pretty pricey, but there is so much to do, I can understand the price. Fun even without kids, lots of tactile exhibits which are interactive and quite engaging.
