The exhibits were engaging and kept our five year olds attention for over two hours. We enjoyed our visit and will return.

A lot of interesting science activity. You can do a bunch of interesting activities with your kids. Its not too big, and tend to get crowded. You can also pet a iguana there, and you can also learn about aquaponics, and if you get lost on the trivia quiz, the guy or girl at the gateway to science will help you solve the quiz. They also gonna expand the building and bring more exhibitions. Me, my wife, my daughter and my son have a fun time here!

Oh my goodness, this is a must if you are in the area! Lots of fun, hands-on activities divided into 4 rooms. Loved the brain teaser section. My kids and I spent 3 hours here and still didnt play with everything. Well be back!

We held our sons birthday party here. It was the best decision weve ever made! All of the kids (8 years old) had such a great time. They got to enjoy the exhibit hall, do an activity, then enjoy some food (provided by ourselves). I would definitely recommend it! We had such a great time we decided to get the membership.

An absolute must stop for any family who has even a sliver of interest in science. Kids absolutely LOVE going here because of the neat exhibits and the parents (or in my case: uncles) will appreciate the low price and personal interaction the workers will have explaining the reasoning behind each display.

There was a lot of unique things to interact with. The employees are very helpful. Stations get picked up often. Everything is in working order and clean!

Didnt get a chance to bring my 3 year old in, they tried to say masks were required to be inside. Unfortunately, I believe in the constitution, and you cant force anyone to do anything, so they lost our business.

For such a small museum they have quite a few exhibits. The staff could be friendlier.

It was fun and a great experincd. I definitely think it could be better but they are building a new one. The activities vary and there is honestly something for everyone to enjoy. Took my two little cousins there who are 4 and 6 and after 2 hours of bringing there they still didnt want to leave.

This place is a gem in Bismarck! Simply must go and must do- I cannot wait to see their new construction once its done. There are plans to make this a new, bigger, better science museum. This place has all hands on exhibits and is so great to touch and feel all the exhibits. Honestly, we live in Denver, and have been to some major cities science museums and this one knocked them all out of the water!

Review №43

A really awesome place for all ages. Children and adults can enjoy fascinating science exhibits that will thrill the mind. Some are quite advanced and hands on, such as ferrousfluid, laparoscopic surgical equipment (yes, the real thing), carbon nanotubes, oscilloscopes and wind tunnels. They are constantly adding new exhibits and are in the process of pursuing an even larger facility. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for everyone to visit!
