Visiting from Alabama. I found it very interesting and the ladies were very sweet and friendly. Had to have a t-shirt to mark the occasion. The surrounding areas are just beautiful , wildflowers . I would recommend a visit to all ages.

Cool spot

Great place to take the kids. Docent was great, let them be kids and taught them stuff. Bison cool!

Great hands on experience for the kids and the family very educational.

Everyone here were genuinely interested in sharing what the lab is all about. The interactive teaching area was great. Displays for 5th grade through HS, and FREE.

Best free kids experience in the Chicago area. Scenery is gorgeous outside for a nature day, but inside the Lederman theres a wide variety of engaging experiments to teach kids about physics and engineering. Free to the public and open almost all the time. You can also get lunch in the main building and walk to Lederman via a cute bridge. Hike or bike on the nature trails. The scientists and hosts are super friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone with children anywhere from 3-18 to get them engaged in science and engineering. Thank you Fermi!!!

Very good place to learn new things. Great if you want to learn things about what they teach. Very interesting and cool. Got me thinking more about how this world works. Good for the kids and family to explore and learn new things:) Very nice people as well so I would recommend to go there:) very fun and interesting to see :)

Excellent hands-on exhibits showing how the accelerator works. Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend the get to know tour as well.

I like to visit this little museum every now and then. It is definitely child-oriented and also a bit rundown, or at least it was a few times I visited before. The best part in my opinion is the merchandise store, they have some really good stuff there worthy of becoming a present for a good friend!

A cute and cozy education center. There are indoor and outdoor activities. There is a gift shop and a teaching materials/resources section. A great stop for those wanting to learn and explore. This is very child/family friendly and is a short walk from Wilson Hall.

Theres a small interactive museum here thats good for about 30-45 minutes of learning as you play. They also hold kids science and nature programs here periodically. Registration is required for those.

This is relatively small center with several hands-on exhibits that will educate and entertain the family. The content seems more appropriate for middle school and higher. However, because of the numerous hands-on activities, younger kids would also be entertained but probably wont learn to much. Some of the exhibits could use better signage and a couple werent working properly. I was with a group so I cant say for sure, but I believe admission is free. If your visiting fermilabs, its worth a visit. I would say 30min-1 hour would be a good amount of time here.

Great place for kids Who want to learn about science

A good place to take kids to learn about science. Real experiments with zero expense. I enrolled my grade 2 daughter to a science camp offered at the center. She loved it and has learnt a lot more than I expected. Only caveat is that they dont offer after class day care. Still, a very good place to learn hands-on experiment.

Great for upper elementary through adult, if one is patient enough to really explore the exhibits. The teacher resource center is a treasure for those developing or exploring any STEM concepts.

Great place for kids to come and learn about the science done at Fermilab. There are good exhibits and interactive stations for all ages.

Lively and lovely place to spend time with kids.

This building has so many great interactive exhibits to help anyone understand difficult invisible concepts. Well thought about!

Great for kids as well as oder folks!

My daughter took a kids class here, it was fantastic! She had so much fun, and learned a bunch! Great experience!!!

The science center was great. The cloud chamber looked really cool, but wasnt working when I visited.

Nice exhibits, although rather old.

Nice area. Interesting hands-on activities. Friendly employees.

Nice place for children and adults that are interested in Fermilab. It does have a souvenir shop as well. However, they may run out of your favorite Fermilab T-shirts but the cashier is very helpful and nice!

Fun activities and a good way to start understanding research in particle physics for the general public and kids.

Visit the shop, you will find something interesting

The exhibits could use some TLC and/or funding...in spite of that, the staff was wonderful!

It was a very nice experience.

Nothing short of amazing. I regretted that the Bible chamber wasnt working when I visited, but mostly regretted that I didnt have more time to visit

Its so much to learn, but great place for science student.

Geat place for older kids, teens and those with youthful curiosity to explore how we learn about the fundamental particles that make up our universe and how we study them. There is also a teacher resource center for planning STEM curricula. It is a true jewel and example of our tax dollars being used in the most excellent way. There is also a small counter for buying Fermilab related science toys, clothing, etc. The money goes to supporting science education in Chicagoland.

Fun for kids.

Its Fermi Labs very cool.

Definitely targeted at Middle School students

A great place to learn about physics and Fermilab.

Good information for students interested in studying physics

Great place for scouting activities

Up repairs and upgrading are needed.

A magical wonderland of science.

Amazing old equipment; see artifacts from the history of particle physics

They are very unfair toward my student... Thry should Rasim toward us

Great place

Fun, hands on, science center
