Visitor Reviews

“This was such a fun place. Our kids (ages five, four and two) loved it. We spent a couple of hours there and only did a few exhibits. We are glad we bought the membership so we can go back and do more things. There are so many things for them to learn and explore.”
Denise Emmons

"This was an awesome place to go see on vacation! I myself am a HUGE science nerd, and the exhibits are of all sorts of different kinds of science. The exhibits are made in a way that kids and adults alike can enjoy them, and I think that is great because I know that children can get bored easily if they don't have engaging things to do. Not once did I feel like I was 'too old' for the exhibits. Totally suggest this!"
Lily Umberger

"Love the Exploration Place the kids love to come and play they never get tired of it. New exhibits are added making it interesting every time we go."
Victoria Parker

"Awesome place!! The kids loved it. Something for all ages. We learned so much.. I would recommend it or anyone. Home school or school trips of any kind."
Rachel Leonard

“We love Exploration Place! From tiny kiddos to adults, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Memberships are absolutely worth it!”
Taylor Erb

"This place is still such a great place to bring kids! Came here years ago and it's still as wonderful as I remember. My girls love the castle and my little boy could have spent longer than we did (all afternoon) in the aero center. In the time we were here I saw staff go through at least three times and sanitize everything."
