My kids and nieces definitely didnt want to leave they had so much fun. This was such an awesome experience. We all had an amazing time from the nature trail to the garden, to the science room the Merry-Go-Round and of course the playground. I was surprised that there was a water play area also with the little misters. We will definitely be back such a great day

Absolutely amazed at this park! Nice amd accessible location with a great variety of activities. The science cemter has an array of simple exhibits that the kids really enjoyed - simple isnt a derisive statement, simple just means easily enjoyable. The playground was equally impressive. Its big and had enough activities to accommodate a large crowd. Really kept the kids entertained and the cleanliness of the park was excellent. Will be back.

Great park! The playground is enormous. I had a blast playing with my kids and running after them. They can spend hours there playing around, and they also have misters that the kids can get wet in and keep cool. Just bring a bathing suit, towel and change of clothes for the kids. They also have really nice electronic games there (not the kind you plug in to the TV). The museum part is also free, and there is allot of info there for a good time. But there is no food except for what is in the vending machine. All in all, kids love it and so do I. Have gone there numerous times and will go more.

Review №12

A place thats basically free and unique. Better to come when there isnt a lot of people or a birthday party. Very easy to lose a child with the chaos. But worth it if you dont mind running after your kids.

Review №18

The place was free and considering the price it was really cool! My kids who were 7 and 8 at the time loved it and were intrested in trying every single science experiment and activities. I only wish someone would build something half as nice for the children of the community where my family and I live in the Florida panhandle...lol

This whole park where this is located is a true hidden gem. Great trails and quite a bit of activities for the kiddos. The park even has a carousel by the enormous play ground equipped with swing sets, water sprayers and a large 2 story play house. Inside the science building is plenty of hands on projects for the children.

What a wonderful place. Playgrounds made for activity and imagination. Loved the science center - great learning experience. Workers were pleasant and helpful!

I come here often. Probably too often, because they have the same exhibit they had last time. There are two exhibits—one they keep and the other they change every few months. The kids love it.

Review №24

Still entertaining and engaging after all of these years. Great updates and upkeep of the exhibit. AND I do not know how I missed the garden just outside. It is super cool out there. Another reason my family and I cant get enough of this place; and always bring friends.

We stopped in today with our kids, 19 and 16, they remembered many visits when on trips to see family nearby. Couldnt get them on the carousel, but they enjoyed the Explorium. Friendly staff, beautiful grounds.

Free parking, free playground and free childrens museum!!!! The playground is one of the largest in South Florida but can get really really hot in the afternoon. If you havent checked this out before, I HIGHLY recommend trying this place out. I think I heard they have free indoor kids movies once a month as well!!!!

I love coming here! My two kids, 5 & 4 will spend so much time playing with all the different exhibits. They cater towards younger kids too so they stay interested. Also... Its free! They do have a donation bin, that I have not hesitated to give to every time, because its really a great place for the kids!

This place is amazing for kids. So much to do. The science explorium has a bunch of creative, mind-stimulating projects. Where else can you go on a carousel? The playground is so big and has a wide variety of activities for kids of all ages. And its FREE....a Boca Raton treasure.

What a great museum to bring bored grandsons on a hot day. There were activities to keep them engaged for an hour, with special interest in the pneumatic tubes and the wind explorer exposing fossils. Its fun and manageable for kids of all ages.

Hidden little gem... great spot for kids to play. This playground with water is awesome for summer and weekends.

Review №46

My kids love this place.Since its a free ticket entrance inside the Boca Raton community center, you cant expect it to be like one of those big museums, but still its very funny and good place to bring kids to learn something about practical science.Even grown ups can learn something here, for sure, since they have a lot of different experiments to work with. Actually, really well organized for such a small 2 rooms exhibition.By the way, even that its free, they have a fun alligator at the entrance to collect small donations. Do it. Your kids will be learning something from it also.

We attend several classes and events held here. They are always well done. The kids favorite is the science classes held the first Tuesday of every month with Ms Cindy. She always makes science and learning about it exciting. Her patience with even the most challenging students is to be applauded.

Review №49

Very educational. The exhibits are change regularly so there is always something new to explore. My 2yo loves launching the rocket. All you need is a dollar to ride the carousel and a nice lunch to eat in the nature garden. Kiddies cool off at the slash pad.

My little one loved it. If you have young kids (ages 4 and under), I highly recommend going on a week day when older kids are in school. On the weekends its way too crowded.

Review №73

This Boca Raton park is one of the best Ive ever seen. It includes a water play area, an amazing multi-story play structure, and shade for the parents... and most impressive, free parking. Tale a break from the nickel-and-dime beach area charges and treat your 3 to 9 year old to a fun free park.

Although this is fairly limited in terms of exhibits, its free, keeps the kids entertained for about 30 to 45 minutes, and is right next to the best playground within the surrounding counties. Worth checking out.
