Part of Pogo pass for Dallas so its okay to visit once. Around 2 hours - thats the most. I wont pay $10 but its okay if that is part of your pogo pass.Dont have very high expectations - its nothing like some real Science and Discovery center - its a miniature version of it. If something is not working, ask the staff and they will help you. There is another one-video game museum next to it - its a separate ticket...just buy the pogo pass as $10 each is not worth it.

This was a private collection that was donated to traintopia. It is one of the largest model train layouts Ive ever seen and very beautifully done. The model train collection is only part of the displays by traintopa. They have a large collection of real engines and cars. Many of which have either been restored are in the process of being restored. One of the most interesting is a large steam engine. Well worth the trip to see. Make sure you check the schedule for the tours of the large engines. Also check the weather as the large equipment is outside.

What a waste of money! You have to pay for each Museum separately. For my family of 6, that really adds up. We only went to the Sci-Tech one and that museum was so small. I feel like there should have been way more for how much we spent.

This place is great. We spend all day here today!Mr. Zach was amazing with a room full of 7 years olds. 1st grade trip with around 50 kids. Handled all of them with ease. This man has a knack with kids. Definitely made Education fun. Nothing is hands off. Completely hands on everything is encouraged. Fun for adults too. Souvenir Shop was VERY affordable. We left with multiple items under $5 and they go up to $75. From slime to a Drone. Your average toy though is under $10. The associate who checked us out was sweet and super informative. Gave us a pamphlet about memberships which she sold us on. $80 for a year and it includes a lot of discounts to everything from parties to the Souvenir Shop. We have our membership and will return very soon.

What a neat facility. Shout out to the city of Frisco. Visited the Black Box Theatre to see a show by the North Texas Performing Arts bureau also peeked in to see the Train display and a peek at rhe Video Game Museum. Great parking lot. Easily accessible for wheel chairs.

My kids always love this place. They change it periodically, so while it is not a large place it is worth going back occasionally as the exhibits change.

We hosted a birthday party here for 5yo. It was more affordable than most of the other options, and thats because they really dont provide anything other than tables and staff, but thats what I wanted. The kids LOVED playing here, and all attendees get all day admission, so it was a great value. The exhibits were really interesting, highly recommend!

Really nice and creative place for kids. They will never get bored. Easily spend 1 to 2 hours. Good for kids 5 to 10.

The Sci-Tech Discovery Center was OK. It was expensive for not much to do. Along with that the staff for the center was not open to suggestions at all. The National Videogame Museum was better. There was a nice tour and pretty cool pieces of technology. Overall, it was decent at both places

The experience was good not great. The Video Game Museum is a little pricey for the quality and quantity of entertainment. If you are interested in video games then a 1 time visit could be considered.

Unless you have a few hundred dollars you dont know what to do with, dont come here. The prices to get into each area is pretty pricey. We could only afford one place. I am sure that each area is really neat and exciting, but we had no idea that each area required its own entrance fees. Pretty pricey place!!

The Frisco Discovery Center is a hidden gem in this city. It is a one stop shop for many activities.Take in a bit of culture in the black box theatre. Weve sent 101 Dalmatians Kids, and Joseph and The Technicolor Dream Coat.Theres also a science room and the National Video Game Museum.Do yourself a favor and GO

This is a money trap, a waste of tax money, and a waste of space. The establishment is cold, vapid, and unwelcoming because of the staff. The art exhibits and theatrical presentations are mediocre at best. The museums are too small. The video game museum is absolutely ludicrous. The customer service and attitude from the manager named Paige was extremely unfriendly and passive aggressive. Is the manager even qualified to do her job correctly and effectively? She seems useless, rude, ditzy, and over-privileged. The City of Frisco needs to hire more professional people to improve this dreary establishment.

Great place for kids to learn. They change the displays every few months, which makes it even more interesting.

Not much there; it seems like a front for grants or tax money. Im all for places like this when theyre done well, but this one is not. Whoever said it is dark and dreary is right. Staff isnt very good at explaining anything. It was over $8 for a four year old. Glad we saw it because I always wondered about it, but now I know were not missing anything!
