We were just there on 8/6/09 and found the place to be very loud with lots of wild children and NO controll by the worker. Kids were running wild (mostly camp kids) and it is like there was no supervision and the workers just stood or sat around and did NOTHING when kids would run around, scream and cut in front of other visitors. We were ...
years ago im now in my 20's this place was awlsome.. first of all parking was 20 bucks when it said 12 dollars. but thats philly the buliding is beautful but inside its digusting!! 2 dollar candy bars. food dust kids with no supervision everywhere... BARE exhibts... broken stuff.. no education.. just crap. however they do have SOME cool ...
I liked the exhibts contained within the musuem; however, I didn't like not being able to take photos. I thought too that the exhibition should've been longer. Over all the museum was terrific.
i loved this place...i loved everyone there. the Imax theatre was amazing and i cant wait to go see another movie there again! i absolutely loved everything about this place! i've been to phily 4 times, and nothing an stop me to continue going back! i cant wait until we go with my grade, we get to walk around the city only with parters, no adults...LOVE THIS PLACE! I'M GOING HERE!

The other kid didn't take everything out of his pockets, and they stopped the ride after several seconds. We waited for them to restart, but instead, attendant demanded that my son pay all over again, and told us that if we wanted a ...
We took our 4 1/2 and 7 year old boys here while visiting Philly...holy crap, this place is GREAT. Without a doubt, it was the best kids' science museum we've ever been to. We spent 6 hours there, and could've spent longer!
This is a perfect example of what is wrong with museums and education in general today. You will mostly look in vain for period artifacts and I saw no artifacts belonging to Benjamin Franklin at all! There was even one eighteenth-century printing press pushed off to the side wall with no descriptions.
I grew up a science geek and can honestly say that this is the ultimate science museum. There is plenty to see and do for all ages so parents, teens & preteens can find something they will enjoy. Most of the exhibits allows for hands-on learning and its not unusually to see a few adults trying out the experiments. Keep an eye for special ...
