We went to Mesmerica. It was really cool. Took mom as part of her 70th birthday. She said it reminded her of a giant kaleidoscope, I thought that was cool because kaleidoscopes were a big deal when she was a kid. I really enjoyed the music which I was pleasantly surprised. I have studio ears, and I could definitely hear all the nuances in the sound. Parking was not bad at all, maybe a little more lighting outside in the evenings. I even thought they could have gave it like a garden type feel as you walk in. Overall a great experience! I really can't wait until they come out with another one.

This place is a real gem, I tell you. You could spend hours here. The exhibits are super engaging, and there's so much to explore. The theatre experience was particularly memorable. I loved the screening room; it was top-notch. It's definitely worth a visit for anyone looking for a fun and scientific educational outing. You won't be disappointed with the quality of the displays.

Museum was just ok. If you sre bringing a school and just want to burn some energy, its great. If you are wanting to learn anything. You may be slightly disappointed. Other than the imax dome video. This museum is mediocre at best. The Gift shop was almost laughable. And the prices were ridiculous. Overall , I would highly recommend picking somewhere else to take a bunch of fifth or sixth or seventh graders. There is , however , a small set of trails just outside of the parking lot that were slightly entertaining. Although we didn't see much of anything other than a couple of flowers.

Museum of Science and Industry has the 2nd largest planetarium in the United States. With various shows daily, a nice experience. Many interactive displays mostly for young children. Also a VR experience with dinosaurs. Free parking and food available.
