I enjoyed this place, but it is small. I paid 14.00 dollars to get in and I was shocked to see how small it was. I saw the entire place in under an hour. It needs more exhibits, maybe a movie or two. Probably a good place to take toddlers...enough for them. Cafe was fairly priced but the gift shop was small too. I will only go back when my ...

Visiting the area and not sure what all there is to do here. It rained cats & dogs and we needed an indoor activity. The exhibits we saw were well done, but there weren't many. We saw everything on both levels in an hour, and we were taking our time. Would have like to see more hands-on activities for the kids.

We did this on day two of our trip to the area after the VA Zoo in Norfolk. Well done inside and outside exhibits. Seemed to me like part zoo, part aquarium, and part science museum.

I loved this place even before the multi-millon dollar renovation, but now, you could definitely spend all day there - it's so large and there is so much to do & see. I try to take my young son at least once or twice a year, and I love his reactions each time we go. The new building and trails are wonderful, and I truly appreciate how these ...

Good for all ages, great indoor and outdoor exhibits, some hands on activites for the everyone as well as a nature walk.
