Nice place explaining physics using showing it in action.

A disappointment. The college had constructed many interactive devices to illustrate physics principles but they were poorly maintained, not well enough explained, and no docents around. Looks like no one in authority was paying any attention too the place.

Really great Museum (and free!). My kids loved it. Very hands on (Kids can touch and experiment themselves). Looks like a real physics lab! It was a great stop for us during our road trip out west

All of the exhibits here are interactive, most seem to have been designed and made by the actual physics department at the University, which is pretty cool, but also means they arent quite the finished quality youd expect from a museum. In fact, museum might not be quite the right word to describe this place. Its one big room on the second floor full of displays, no staff, but no crowds either. If you or your kids are into science and physics, youll probably enjoy it. If not, its not going to change your mind.

ALL the exhibits are for real experiments, and nearly all of them are working, and they work exactly the same as they do in Europe, and as far as I know, everywhere in the entire universe. PLASMA.

Cool little place. Neat hands-on activities that teach you about different aspects of physics. It would be a cool place to take a group of students. It would also be good for Boy Scouts or Girl Scout groups.

Top notch hands on physics lab for kids and adults. Lost myself for at least 2 hours in this hidden gem. Double check the hours they tend to be a bit wonky.

This is more interesting when you schedule in advance and have someone show you things.
