Reviews
"Fascinating, educational, well-thought-out, and compact museum. Perfect for nerds and anyone who wants to learn more about science. So many cool objects and examples!"
"Nice museum. It was smaller than I expected and it does not have many big and unique things to show off. But it explains the history of science very well and in an interesting way even for a 40-something year old person."
"Such fun and brilliance under one roof is unprecedentedly entertaining! Exhibits’ Entry is free! The people are knowledgeable and love answering questions. This is a brainiac moment to live for!"
"This is a lovely little museum with so many fun knick knacks and so much interesting history there are also so many good lunch spots nearby decaffently recommend stopping by there's lots to read and lots of interactive things great for the whole family definitely recommend stopping by if you're hanging out in Old City!"
"I enjoyed the museum. There were many exhibits on analytical equipment on the first floor. The second floor highlighted many pioneers and innovators in science. I also enjoyed the Object Explorer which was a fun way to learn about the many artifacts on display. Finally, the Downstream exhibit was also very interesting, as well."
