Excellent place to visit with family, hands on with everything and educational. Learn about reptiles, hawks, owls and more. great gift shop, very friendly staff. definitely recommend to anyone from young to old. They also have a program where they can bring reptiles to your facility or school and teach you about them.

We had a wonderful time. Jake was patient and kind to our girls and was willing to bring out almost any animal for them to hold. They loved the snakes. The other exhibits were hands on and challenging. Don’t miss this if you bring children to Bemidji.

Its so nice to have a place to go with the kids that is indoors. They have fun, learn, and challenge their minds in creativity and problem solving. The staff brings out animals for the children to pet. The staff is always ready to answer questions about the exhibits. All of the exhibits can be done with parent and child interaction.

Great little science museum in bemidji. Part of science museum passport program, so if member if your local science museum, be sure to check it out - it is free. Lots to see and touch, a bit more interactive with the reptiles, you can hold various animals as they are displayed.

A great place to bring kids young and old who are at all interested in Hands-On science. This small place has a lot of interactive displays, a large bubble making machine, bicycle tires mounted with hand grips so you can test out gyroscopic effect, an echo tube, and a saltwater tank with sea anemones and other saltwater fish that can be kept in a reasonably sized tank.

This is one of the best places for children and young teens to be in Bemidji. They have so much to do, and for kids in 4-H and/or FIRST Lego League it can really begin to feel like a second home.Lots of good memories to be made here if you havent yet brought your children there, but keep in mind its not a classy establishment.

If you live in Bemidji, and you have younger children, this is a great place to go in the colder months. The children can spend many hours here while Dad relaxes upstairs reading. The staff is expert at capturing the imagination of the younger children, and there are many exhibits for ages from toddler to teens.

Very poor communication with the public. I have left multiple phone, email and Facebook messages regarding the donation of frozen feeder animals for the reptiles and have never been given the courtesy of a reply.My 11 yr old attended Camp Invention there and was thrilled to go again when she got the invite in the mail. Apparently, HSC is no longer offering the program anymore. Very disappointed. Its not cheap either!Things were much better when Chris was the director. Its disappointing.
