An EXPERIENCE for ALL AGES!
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!
Nice gift shop, great cashier, very helpful.
This is a nice museum that’s fun for kids of all ages. We had fun here with my one year old.
Very interesting!
Very Educational place. It was so much fun. Good place for the kids learn. Will tell my friends to visit there
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!!!
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.
Great turn out today!
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.
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 had a wonderful afternoon here with the grandkids. Don't miss the planetarium!!
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.
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!
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.
We had a blast at the wonder science center. It was a full day of learning and fun for all my kids.
An amazing facility, The staff are present but not intrusive. The exhibits are unlimited. This is for all ages!
So many fun things to do great for all ages
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!
Very cool! Lots of space for all the kids and lots to do and look at.
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 awesome experience, lots of things to see and do
The facility was well maintained , and was very educational 😊
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.
The “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!!
This place is awesome!
Great place for the whole family. Relaxed atmosphere for everyone with engaging and interacted exhibits for all ages from toddler to adult
Great experience! Brought the family and learned a lot. Tons for kids to do.
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.
Great place for little kids. Hands on areas and my son loved the Dino exploration area!
Awesome place! So grateful that it’s only five minutes from our house 😊
