We love this Google review from Jen:

“While small, it packed such a hands-on punch! We were lucky enough to see a small planetarium show and I had a ride in the gyroscope. So fun! They even had a great sensory play area for neurodiverse kids. Loved this place!"

Thanks for visiting Jen, and for sharing the love!
