An EXPERIENCE for ALL AGES!
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.
It was the best. The kids loved it
We had a wonderful afternoon here with the grandkids. Don't miss the planetarium!!
The coffee is amazing!!!!!!
Great experience! Brought the family and learned a lot. Tons for kids to do.
Extremely kid friendly and clean facilities
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.
Very interesting!
Great, kid friendly place! My kids love exploring and learning here with interactive games and videos! 🥰
Our first time at this Museum. It was wonderful! The people were so nice! We had a good time, and we will be back. Thank you.
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
So many things to see and do for 5-11 year olds
We spent the whole day open to close. It was awesome and we had a wonderful time! There were lots of hands on activities for the kids. I need to go back on my own to see everything I missed! 5 stars we highly recommend!!!
Me and my family had an AMAZING time here So much to see Need to come back and soon! Thank you DoMore615
An amazing facility, The staff are present but not intrusive. The exhibits are unlimited. This is for all ages!
Nice gift shop, great cashier, very helpful.
This was our first time visiting but definitely not our last! This museum is amazing and has so many cool exhibits. I love that there’s a lot of hands on experiences for all ages. Bring your kids and have a fun filled day!
Wonderful to hear Biblical perspective missing in other science museums
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 turn out today!
The coffee touches my soul.
My kids raved about their experience here! The Africa exhibit was simply amazing!
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!!
We absolutely love this place. All the new exhibits. And the dinosaur that walks
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.
I took my grandkids and they loved the museum and planetarium. They enjoyed the scavenger hunt, hands on exhibits, and of course the large dinosaur as you walk in the building. We will be back!
We had a great time. Loved the interaction displays for a 2 year old and all the information signs. Definitely want to come back with him and finish looking at everything but also want to come back for me to read everything.
Absolute best times for the kids. Great for teens and toddlers!
The littles had a great time!
Awesome place! So grateful that it’s only five minutes from our house 😊
