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!
Very Educational place. It was so much fun. Good place for the kids learn. Will tell my friends to visit there
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.
Homeschool mom's alert this is a great place for you to be able to take your children. I highly recommend recommended as a former homeschool mom.
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.
Awesome place! So grateful that it’s only five minutes from our house 😊
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!
Very cool place for the whole family
great rainy day activity for my 7 year old and one month old!
The coffee touches my soul.
Very welcoming! Great job on the collections and displays. A lot of hands-on activities. We plan to visit the newly opened aquarium soon.
Great experience! Brought the family and learned a lot. Tons for kids to do.
I 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.
Wonderful to hear Biblical perspective missing in other science museums
The facility was well maintained , and was very educational 😊
We had a wonderful afternoon here with the grandkids. Don't miss the planetarium!!
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.
Well put together operation. Well presented science. Good children and adults.
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!
The best!!! So blessed to have the Wonders Science Center and Museum in Dickson!! A true blessing!! We have a membership and come all the time. The new ocean exhibit is just amazing! Don't miss out!
We went for my 14 year old birthday today and it was amazing. There are 6 of us ages ranging from 9-37 and we all enjoyed it. We were there 1:30-5:00 and could have stayed a lot longer. We are Christians and trying to find something wholesome and truthful can be difficult in today's society. As we were about to leave the owner walked up to say hello and ask how we liked it -- thats rare I feel like and we appreciated it. We also got the see his sweet pup Topaz -- we will definitely be back. Planetarium and Tesla show is definitely worth the price. It was a bit pricey for us (family of 6) but in my opinion worth every penny. That level of knowledge of science and scripture is mind blowing.
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!
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.
Great place for the whole family. Relaxed atmosphere for everyone with engaging and interacted exhibits for all ages from toddler to adult
I took my grand children and we had the best time. Will definitely go back!
An amazing facility, The staff are present but not intrusive. The exhibits are unlimited. This is for all ages!
Very interesting!
Very informative. I love how it's always changing and adding exhibits. There's so much to learn!
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.
So many fun things to do great for all ages
