An EXPERIENCE for ALL AGES!
Very cool! Lots of space for all the kids and lots to do and look at.
Such an awesome place!!! The layout is wonderful, you never feel overcrowded or rushed at the exhibits and every single staff member is kind and informative. We will be back!
Very interesting!
Great turn out today!
I took my grand children and we had the best time. Will definitely go back!
If you like museums, have kids, and want a well priced and full day of exhibits and fun stuff for children especially, Ian't recommend the wonder center museum in dickson enough. incredible exhibits, stuff was put together and actually worked, not cluttered and they had programming and stuff everywhere. The staff were constantly interacting and talking rather than just posted up. And the one thing that was broken someone fixed immediately. The wildlife department especially was just insanely well done. Met with the woman who was over wildlife and you could tell they picked someone with passion rather than titles. I think a ton of our local museums should especially learn from this museum.
Great hidden gem for kids and parents alike! Some might find the heavy religious messaging surprising for a science museum as it is incorporated into every exhibit pretty heavily and, in some ways, a very anti-science mindset. Exhibits are a good size for kids to enjoy but also small enough that they don’t have to stay focused on one thing for too long. Biggest drawback is that I bought tickets online thinking it would save time upon arrival, but I still had to stand in line for wrist bands for over 15 minutes.
Amazing museum with incredible exhibits that also glorify all of Gods creations. This is a must see location on your visit to the Nashville area.
Really loved the museum. Staff was super kind and helpful. Everything was cleaned. Plenty of bathrooms. My kids loved it. A great field trip for homeschooling. Also, really enjoyed the biblical views on everything. We visit many national parks and museums and most are worldly bases
Very informative museum. Awesome Tesla coil!
The “Back To School Bash” was a big hit with my nine-year-old son! He absolutely loved the Live Interactive Animal show the best. We’ve been here before, about a couple of years ago, and were REALLY pleased with the added exhibits downstairs (Wonder’s of Africa and Wonder’s of the Sea)! We plan to come again!!
Me and my family had an AMAZING time here So much to see Need to come back and soon! Thank you DoMore615
Great place to come bring your family and spend a few hours enjoying the wonderful of God’s creation. Also sign up and come enjoy the monthly unwrapped talks on a host of subjects.
Wonderful for all ages.
Very informative. I love how it's always changing and adding exhibits. There's so much to learn!
Very welcoming! Great job on the collections and displays. A lot of hands-on activities. We plan to visit the newly opened aquarium soon.
Verily, the Wonder Centers Museum didst enchant mine senses from the moment I crossed its threshold. Each hall is crafted with such care that one might believe the very walls whisper tales of ages past. Yet of all its marvels, none did stir my spirit so greatly as the Crystal Room.
Visited with our grandchildren. This is a high quality experience that demonstrates how our faith in a creator and His Word are supported by science. A must for Christians & for anyone who seeks the truth.
Loved the scavenger hunt- forced my kids to really read through and absorb the information in each room. They were excited to earn rewards, and loved all of the hands on activities! The animals presentation at the back to school bash was also a huge hit.
Enjoyed everything very much. Informative and interesting. Especially like that creation is included in e erything. Will definitely recommend to others and will be going back!
excellent time. 3 adults 1 child (5) Everyone loved it. Much to see and learn. Coffee bar also! AND the observatory is a must see. Looking forward to going back.
We weren't planning on going to this museum. We were planning on going to the Nashville science center but it was closed. I'm so glad we went here. Interactive displays and lots of information, biblically based with science. If you're in the area I highly recommend you visiting. If you have time plan a trip here. You will not regret it. My whole family thoroughly enjoyed it.
Great experience! Brought the family and learned a lot. Tons for kids to do.
Very awesome experience, lots of things to see and do
Very cool experience. Lots of child friendly activities for young kids (ex: dinosaur dig, water area, legos, etc.) the dinosaur aspect was very cool as well. Not crowded during a weekday afternoon. Would definitely return.
Very Educational place. It was so much fun. Good place for the kids learn. Will tell my friends to visit there
Extremely kid friendly and clean facilities
Great, kid friendly place! My kids love exploring and learning here with interactive games and videos! 🥰
I've been to other museums let alone creation museums, including natural history and science; and this was by far the best informative experience in the time spent. Staff was especially helpful and nice every where we went. As I understand the growth is constantly improving but has already surpassed my expectations thanks to so much support that is occuring. Great job everyone!
It exceeded my expectations. Went with our family, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Was a Great Reminder of the Awesomeness of our God. The 2 planetarium visits gave me an overwhelming and hard to grasp sense of God's Creation of the solar system with its intricate and complex magnificense.
