Comments: Great place for kids of all ages. Our ages ranged from 9 to 67 and we had a wonderful time. We intended to spend a couple hours and ended up being there for 6. The Butterfly Pavillion is breathtaking. The space exhibit is awesome and fun. The tornado maker was a real draw. So many things to challenge your creativity and imagination. A day well spent.
