LunarexpressthirtyIf 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 IrwinI took my grand children and we had the best time. Will definitely go back!
Kimberly SligerGreat 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 SharpThe littles had a great time!
Jennifer DennisThis place is awesome!
Brittney CranfordMy 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!
Brett GrippWonderful to hear Biblical perspective missing in other science museums
Cindy YarbroughAwesome place! So grateful that it’s only five minutes from our house 😊
J. AllenFar exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait until I can go again.
John AndrewsExcellent venue with exhibits for all ages!
Kimberley DeMossWe had a blast at the wonder science center. It was a full day of learning and fun for all my kids.
Ashley BenjaminI 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 Educational place. It was so much fun. Good place for the kids learn. Will tell my friends to visit there
Mitchell JohnsonVery interesting!
Natalie HarmonSo many things to see and do for 5-11 year olds
James NoeLoved 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.
Amanda BoderHad a great time with our grandchildren. Lots of opportunity to explain and to wonder at the majesty of our God and His creation!
Bradley RudgeWe 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.
Natalie FisherAbsolute best times for the kids. Great for teens and toddlers!
Brittani ThorsonVery cool! Lots of space for all the kids and lots to do and look at.
Jessica SimmonsHer 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 SpragueWow! 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!
