Carla ZarobanGreat, kid friendly place! My kids love exploring and learning here with interactive games and videos! 🥰
Breanna BarkerWe had a blast at the wonder science center. It was a full day of learning and fun for all my kids.
Ashley BenjaminThe littles had a great time!
Jennifer DennisGreat place for little kids. Hands on areas and my son loved the Dino exploration area!
Chania HenryGreat 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.
Sarah SharpWe absolutely love this place. All the new exhibits. And the dinosaur that walks
Samantha MooreWe 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!!!
Sherry FrateI 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!
BobWe 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.
Stacey RobertsVery informative museum. Awesome Tesla coil!
Robert BThis is a nice museum that’s fun for kids of all ages. We had fun here with my one year old.
Jeremy HarrisIt was the best. The kids loved it
Jessica LynnVery welcoming! Great job on the collections and displays. A lot of hands-on activities. We plan to visit the newly opened aquarium soon.
phillip hicksExtremely kid friendly and clean facilities
Ashley KuhnWonders Center is such a great family adventure for all ages!
Kaitlin MorganHer family is quite large and this place was an amazing diversion and experience. The younger kids love the the play sand with the different layers of lighting and they especially loved the aquarium area where they could color their sea creatures and watch them come to life when they were scanned in to the interactive aquarium. The old and ancient manuscripts found in the Bible literature section was also amazing. We bought a season pass and plan to be back often.
Josh SpragueI was invited to a Pastor Appreciation Luncheon at the Wonder Center. I was not sure what to expect. To my amazement from the time I entered the property until I left. My experience was nothing short of amazing. The planetarium was breathtaking, and so surreal. The Tour was amazing. The museums were amazing. The Luncheon the food was delicious. If you are looking for something to do, a visit to Wonder Center Science Museum will be well worth the visit.
Frances WadeMy kids raved about their experience here! The Africa exhibit was simply amazing!
Maricia AbercrombieWonderful for all ages.
John EichmanThe coffee touches my soul.
