 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just visited this location with our 4 kids—ages 12, 8, 5 and 3 so very large gaps and everyone had a great time! The 12 year old thought it would be too babyish for him but there was definitely enough to keep him interested and occupied. We thought the 3 year old might be too young but there were plenty of experiments at her level as well. We were there for just an hour and had they not been closing we would have looked to add some time. We will definitely be looking into future open labs or the camps they have. It was a hit with the kids and 10/10 would recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was the best experience for my grandkids that are 8 and 10 years old. We spent two hours there and didn't even get through half of the things to do. It was so much fun and we all learned so much. I wish I would have got the guys name, but one of the workers came through on many different occasions to help us and explain what was going on to help us learn why things were happening. He explained with passion and so patiently.  Highly recommended!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I brought my 6 year old for the winter day camp and he absolutely loved it. It turned out he was the only kid registered but he absolutely loves science experiments so we decided to stick with it. He can home every day with fun experiments and was so excited every morning to go back.
