An EXPERIENCE for ALL AGES!
It was the best. The kids loved it
Awesome place! So grateful that it’s only five minutes from our house 😊
Very awesome experience, lots of things to see and do
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!
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!
Very welcoming! Great job on the collections and displays. A lot of hands-on activities. We plan to visit the newly opened aquarium soon.
So many fun things to do great for all ages
Nice gift shop, great cashier, very helpful.
Very Educational place. It was so much fun. Good place for the kids learn. Will tell my friends to visit there
Verily, 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.
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!
Very informative museum. Awesome Tesla coil!
Very informative. I love how it's always changing and adding exhibits. There's so much to learn!
We had a blast at the wonder science center. It was a full day of learning and fun for all my kids.
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
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.
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.
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.
Far exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait until I can go again.
An amazing facility, The staff are present but not intrusive. The exhibits are unlimited. This is 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!
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.
The facility was well maintained , and was very educational 😊
The kids had a great time!
Perfect way to kick off our science exploration for the year!
Very cool place for the whole family
The coffee is amazing!!!!!!
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.
Had a great time with our grandchildren. Lots of opportunity to explain and to wonder at the majesty of our God and His creation!
Amazing museum with incredible exhibits that also glorify all of Gods creations. This is a must see location on your visit to the Nashville area.
