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!
This place is awesome!
Very informative. I love how it's always changing and adding exhibits. There's so much to learn!
Great place for the whole family. Relaxed atmosphere for everyone with engaging and interacted exhibits for all ages from toddler to adult
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!
The coffee touches my soul.
My kids raved about their experience here! The Africa exhibit was simply amazing!
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.
Great place for little kids. Hands on areas and my son loved the Dino exploration area!
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!
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.
The facility was well maintained , and was very educational 😊
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.
We 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!!!
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.
This 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!
This 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!
Really loved the museum. Staff was super kind and helpful. Everything was cleaned. Plenty of bathrooms. My kids loved it. A great field trip for homeschooling. Also, really enjoyed the biblical views on everything. We visit many national parks and museums and most are worldly bases
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.
Very cool place for the whole family
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.
Very interesting!
Very informative museum. Awesome Tesla coil!
Very awesome experience, lots of things to see and do
An amazing facility, The staff are present but not intrusive. The exhibits are unlimited. This is for all ages!
Very welcoming! Great job on the collections and displays. A lot of hands-on activities. We plan to visit the newly opened aquarium soon.
Wonders Center is such a great family adventure for all ages!
I took my grand children and we had the best time. Will definitely go back!
So many fun things to do great for all ages
Absolute best times for the kids. Great for teens and toddlers!
