An EXPERIENCE for ALL AGES!
My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Wonders Center! We were extremely impressed with the quality and variety of the exhibits as well as how interactive it was for kids and adults. The planetarium was amazing and I especially liked the literary section . All of the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful and it was great to hear how Mr. David Reeves catapulted his childhood interests for anthropology and astronomy into what he is doing today for the glory of Yahweh! It was really a satisfying and fulfilling experience for our whole family! Highly recommended!

Alex DillardGreat, kid friendly place! My kids love exploring and learning here with interactive games and videos! 🥰
Breanna BarkerGreat place for little kids. Hands on areas and my son loved the Dino exploration area!
Chania HenryIt was the best. The kids loved it
Jessica LynnGreat 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 SharpWell put together operation. Well presented science. Good children and adults.
William HunterMy kids raved about their experience here! The Africa exhibit was simply amazing!

Ashley KuhnWe 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 RobertsWe absolutely love this place. All the new exhibits. And the dinosaur that walks
Samantha MooreThis is a nice museum that’s fun for kids of all ages. We had fun here with my one year old.
Jeremy HarrisGreat experience! Brought the family and learned a lot. Tons for kids to do.
