"Great place to bring your little ones! A little pricey for my liking it was a good learning experience for your family but I think the price is too high! Will go again if the prices go down!"

"Kids visited this place after a long time. I guess they may be in a stroller or very young initially when I brought them. Brought back many memories. The place was still hustling and bustling with kids, grandparents, parents and caretakers. Very well maintained and super informative. We visited on one of the free admission days. What a generous gift to the community. Glad we saw about this on Facebook. Kids still had a great time exploring all the various sections. They loved doing experiments, gadgets, aquariums, outdoor parks, music and watched trains pass by."

"My daughter and I spent the day at the Ecotarium. One of the highlights was seeing the cute otters, although I was expecting to see more animals. Hoever, there were plenty of enjoyable activities available for my kid. She particularly loved the train ride, which cost $7 per person (apart from the admission ticket) and covered most of the areas. One drawback was the limited food options available , aside from a snack bar designed for kids. It might have been due to the fact that it was a tuesday. Nevertheless , I highly recommend this place if you have a kid."

"It was fun, but I don't know if it was $20/person fun. There are some cool things there. They have a Rube Goldberg-like device that cycles a half dozen or so balls around, that's fun to watch. They have otters that you can watch swim around. The train was closed, so we didn't get to use that. The mountain lion would have been cool, but he was hiding. In fact, probably the majority of the animals were hiding. Our 11 month old played in the toddler area, but the carpet was filthy and had choking hazards everywhere. It looks like nobody has vacuumed it in months. The trails and nature were very nice, but again, not $20/person nice. It seems like a place that was created by smart, conscientious people who cared, but that it is now run by people who don't care. When so many things are out of order or filthy, and nobody thinks to fix or clean them, that shows you what kind of people they are. Hopefully, someday, the Science Center (Ecotarium) will be returned to its former glory."

"Nice place to take the family, lots to see & do. Nice little gift shop. The otters were the most enjoyable to watch! Was disappointed the train ride was closed, but enjoyed our day just the same!"
