An EXPERIENCE for ALL AGES!
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!
Kyle HessThis is a nice museum that’s fun for kids of all ages. We had fun here with my one year old.
Jeremy HarrisThis place is amazing! One of the best museums I’ve ever been to. There is so much to see, so much for the kids to do. Probably the most kid friendly museum 🙂 we are having the best time. This museum makes it interesting for all ages and a lot of fun ways to learn!
Abby ArcanoLove what David and his team is doing. Heb 11:1 says "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" David is making it possible for many Christians young and old "see" through faith, some of the evidence of God's masterpieces of creation. I really appreciate how this is a place I can bring my children and they get a biblical point of view and is faith based.
MichaelExcellent venue with exhibits for all ages!
Kimberley DeMossVery cool place for the whole family
Hope BrileyWonderful to hear Biblical perspective missing in other science museums
Cindy YarbroughAwesome place! So grateful that it’s only five minutes from our house 😊
J. AllenGreat 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 SharpIf 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 IrwinThis place is awesome!
Brittney CranfordThe “Back To School Bash” was a big hit with my nine-year-old son! He absolutely loved the Live Interactive Animal show the best. We’ve been here before, about a couple of years ago, and were REALLY pleased with the added exhibits downstairs (Wonder’s of Africa and Wonder’s of the Sea)! We plan to come again!!
ValleyalliVery welcoming! Great job on the collections and displays. A lot of hands-on activities. We plan to visit the newly opened aquarium soon.
phillip hicksgreat rainy day activity for my 7 year old and one month old!
graycen boneThis 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'ArtenayNice gift shop, great cashier, very helpful.
Ruth NordanWe absolutely love this place. All the new exhibits. And the dinosaur that walks
Samantha MooreI 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 WadeVery interesting!
Natalie HarmonSo many fun things to do great for all ages
Addilyn ManisWe had a wonderful afternoon here with the grandkids. Don't miss the planetarium!!
Carla ZarobanIt 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.
Kelly HessGreat experience! Brought the family and learned a lot. Tons for kids to do.
RyanThe coffee is amazing!!!!!!
Jessica HallLove this place ! So much fun for the kids
Alex DillardWonderful for all ages.
John EichmanMe and my family had an AMAZING time here So much to see Need to come back and soon! Thank you DoMore615
Kendra WatsonGreat, kid friendly place! My kids love exploring and learning here with interactive games and videos! 🥰
Breanna BarkerHer 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 SpragueThe kids had a great time!
