An EXPERIENCE for ALL AGES!
This is a nice museum that’s fun for kids of all ages. We had fun here with my one year old.
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.
Very cool! Lots of space for all the kids and lots to do and look at.
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.
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.
Enjoyed everything very much. Informative and interesting. Especially like that creation is included in e erything. Will definitely recommend to others and will be going back!
Great experience! Brought the family and learned a lot. Tons for kids to do.
I've been to other museums let alone creation museums, including natural history and science; and this was by far the best informative experience in the time spent. Staff was especially helpful and nice every where we went. As I understand the growth is constantly improving but has already surpassed my expectations thanks to so much support that is occuring. Great job everyone!
Love this place ! So much fun for the kids
Nice gift shop, great cashier, very helpful.
Very welcoming! Great job on the collections and displays. A lot of hands-on activities. We plan to visit the newly opened aquarium soon.
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!
We love going to the Wonders Science Center. My kids are always interested and engaged in the exhibits and activities. It’s very clean and well maintained as well.
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!
Her 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.
Great place for the whole family. Relaxed atmosphere for everyone with engaging and interacted exhibits for all ages from toddler to adult
This place was phenomenal! So many areas to explore! Biblically based truth! My sons had a great time and loved exploring. The Planetarium show & Tesla coil experience were awesome!
Awesome place! So grateful that it’s only five minutes from our house 😊
It exceeded my expectations. Went with our family, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Was a Great Reminder of the Awesomeness of our God. The 2 planetarium visits gave me an overwhelming and hard to grasp sense of God's Creation of the solar system with its intricate and complex magnificense.
Excellent venue with exhibits for all ages!
The littles had a great time!
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.
The kids had a great time!
great rainy day activity for my 7 year old and one month old!
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 awesome experience, lots of things to see and do
I took my grand children and we had the best time. Will definitely go back!
This place is awesome!
Absolute best times for the kids. Great for teens and toddlers!
Wonderful to hear Biblical perspective missing in other science museums
