Not Bad
By Felix, 07/20/07
Go see the human body exhibit. It's not for the faint of heart, but its not gory. Please be carefull with your young kids. They have an IMAX theatre, but it can be a little boring. All ages will find more than a few things to enjoy, and some of what they have will bring back memories to us over 40 types. Prices weren't bad and they serve food.Like my title said, not bad. The place has changed since I first visited 20 some odd years ago, but every member of my family found something they really liked.

Fun for the family
By UnicornKitty, 09/15/05
We liked all the cool stuff you could learn hands on with parent & kids. The performance was cute & family friendly. They had lots of parking right beside the detroit science center. It is a great place to spend part of an afternoon or a whole day.

Detroit Science Center Not As Great As It Should Be
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/17/04
The New Detroit Science Center looks great from the outside, but on the inside, it falls just a bit short. It has a nice bright interior, but there's not much fun stuff to do. It's only a few floors tall and each floor only has one or two ideas to present. They do have a good IMAX theatre and planetarium though. Their live shows are good also. The electricity show is a must see. All in all, the best part was probably the gift shop. This farely new science center fell very short of my expectations. I do, however encourage you to go visit, just to see what you think.
