"This is a fun little place to go. You learn a lot about different things that are very interesting and they have a lot of big items that you're just like, wow, someone actually used a bunch of random metal and made a robot or the machine that can move. You also find different things that have been passed down through the years and you're like, how the heck did someone make this? The place is pretty awesome and I think about halfway through or closer to the end. There's a giant sandbox that you can play with. When you build land or sea it a spawns dinosaurs, using a projector so the kids really love it. I think the only thing that I would like is that there should be a hand sanitizer that was close by, because again, a lot of hands are going in the sand. The other thing is, once you have gone through it and seen everything, it's kind of hard to go back through it again unless you take people who have never been."

"Super fun and neat collection of exhibits. The museum is really cool, and includes items that will amaze both children and adults. In addition to the museum, I also attended the wax museum which was a suprisingly large collection, as well as sifting for treasure. I highly recommend all 3, and if you’re looking for more to do there is a paintball course a stones throw away (I mean that literally). Super fun, highly recommended experience with lots to do and see"
