Educational not just for kids but adults too. I am a 27 year old auntie and LOVE my nephews. I live in Atlanta and communte home to Ohio about six time a year. Every single time I go I look forward to loving on my three nephews. I took them and four other children to the Science Center and they absolutly loved it. We did the exhibits and watched a film on the IMAX theather. As a parent you can not pass this place up. Since I don't have any children of my own I love for them to experience new, fun and educational ideas.…

It can actually be a little overpowering, especially for young children, so viewing fare tends to be science-oriented documentary spectacles.…

The omnimax theater provides a three dimensional experience that enables the viewer to become totally emersed in the visual and aural presentation. Last, but not least, the museum is also an architectural/visual treat in of itself. The immediate proximity to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is also a plus…

I had been to other science centers before, and I hoped that this one would fulfill my expectations. It certainly did! With the various exhibits that defy your normal science museums, a kid cannot stay bored here.…
