An EXPERIENCE 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.
Amanda BoderVisited 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.
Ramona NelsonSuch 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!

FishtailFar exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait until I can go again.
John AndrewsWe absolutely love this place. All the new exhibits. And the dinosaur that walks
Samantha MooreVerily, 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.
Sam ByrdMy 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!
Brett GrippVery cool! Lots of space for all the kids and lots to do and look at.
Jessica Simmonsexcellent 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.

PauletteVery Educational place. It was so much fun. Good place for the kids learn. Will tell my friends to visit there
Mitchell JohnsonExtremely kid friendly and clean facilities
Ashley KuhnGreat turn out today!
Aprielle RajdlVery 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.
Alyssa LechtanskiWow! 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!
Kyle HessThe coffee touches my soul.
Lily TylerWe had a wonderful afternoon here with the grandkids. Don't miss the planetarium!!
Carla ZarobanIf 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.
Dedra IrwinGreat, kid friendly place! My kids love exploring and learning here with interactive games and videos! 🥰
Breanna BarkerThis 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!
Diana d'ArtenayMy kids raved about their experience here! The Africa exhibit was simply amazing!
Maricia AbercrombieI 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 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!!!
