An EXPERIENCE for ALL AGES!
It was the best. The kids loved it
Well put together operation. Well presented science. Good children and adults.
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!
Great experience! Brought the family and learned a lot. Tons for kids to do.
Me and my family had an AMAZING time here So much to see Need to come back and soon! Thank you DoMore615
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.
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.
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.
We absolutely love this place. All the new exhibits. And the dinosaur that walks
Very informative. I love how it's always changing and adding exhibits. There's so much to learn!
Great place for little kids. Hands on areas and my son loved the Dino exploration area!
Great, kid friendly place! My kids love exploring and learning here with interactive games and videos! 🥰
Perfect way to kick off our science exploration for the year!
The kids had a great time!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
An amazing facility, The staff are present but not intrusive. The exhibits are unlimited. This is for all ages!
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!!!
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!
So many things to see and do for 5-11 year olds
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.
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
Very interesting!
Excellent venue with exhibits for all ages!
Very cool experience. Lots of child friendly activities for young kids (ex: dinosaur dig, water area, legos, etc.) the dinosaur aspect was very cool as well. Not crowded during a weekday afternoon. Would definitely return.
I took my grandkids and they loved the museum and planetarium. They enjoyed the scavenger hunt, hands on exhibits, and of course the large dinosaur as you walk in the building. We will be back!
