An EXPERIENCE for ALL AGES!
We had a blast at the wonder science center. It was a full day of learning and fun for all my kids.
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 cool! Lots of space for all the kids and lots to do and look at.
My kids raved about their experience here! The Africa exhibit was simply amazing!
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.
The coffee is amazing!!!!!!
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.
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!!!
Very informative. I love how it's always changing and adding exhibits. There's so much to learn!
The kids had a great time!
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!
Awesome place! So grateful that it’s only five minutes from our house 😊
Well put together operation. Well presented science. Good children and adults.
Very interesting!
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.
The coffee touches my soul.
We had a wonderful afternoon here with the grandkids. Don't miss the planetarium!!
Wow! I think it should be a requirement for all school age children to go through this Wonder Center and Science Museum. It is clear that there is a creator and He wants a relationship with us. From the smallest ant to the Largest mammal, God’s glory is revealed! Go, take your kids, take your grandkids and support this amazing place!
I took my grand children and we had the best time. Will definitely go back!
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.
So many fun things to do great for all ages
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.
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 Educational place. It was so much fun. Good place for the kids learn. Will tell my friends to visit there
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.
Very welcoming! Great job on the collections and displays. A lot of hands-on activities. We plan to visit the newly opened aquarium soon.
Love what David and his team is doing. Heb 11:1 says "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" David is making it possible for many Christians young and old "see" through faith, some of the evidence of God's masterpieces of creation. I really appreciate how this is a place I can bring my children and they get a biblical point of view and is faith based.
It was the best. The kids loved it
Very awesome experience, lots of things to see and do
Absolute best times for the kids. Great for teens and toddlers!
