this is my business

The vision of the Museum of Science is one where everyone can participate equally in the excitement of science and technology learning. Barriers to access, whether caused by finances, culture, language, education or ability, can inhibit exploration. The Museum is intentional about breaking down these barriers while creating relationships with new audiences.

This museum is full of things to do, unfortunately we tend to go only with children and miss out on the adult sections. Children will love the numerous hands on activities, and feel of the areas dedicated to children. Unfortunately there is a lot of information that is missed by adults as they are quickly lead from room to room by the hand of a child. My recommendation for this museum is go during the school year on a weekday (never on weekends or vacation). I say this due to the absurd number of people they cram in to this museum. On weekends and holidays your children will have a difficult time getting near any of the exhibits much less using them. You will spend the majority of your time waiting in semi existent lines, constantly being cut by children from un-monitored school groups set free on the museum. In the end, it is a great museum that requires a large outlay of cash to get in, park, eat, and buy a souvenier.
