An EXPERIENCE for ALL AGES!
Our first time at this Museum. It was wonderful! The people were so nice! We had a good time, and we will be back. Thank you.
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.
Very cool place for the whole family
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.
Great experience! Brought the family and learned a lot. Tons for kids to do.
Had a great time with our grandchildren. Lots of opportunity to explain and to wonder at the majesty of our God and His creation!
Great place for little kids. Hands on areas and my son loved the Dino exploration area!
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.
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.
great rainy day activity for my 7 year old and one month old!
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.
Very informative museum. Awesome Tesla coil!
This place is awesome!
Love this place ! So much fun for the kids
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 Educational place. It was so much fun. Good place for the kids learn. Will tell my friends to visit there
Great turn out today!
Very welcoming! Great job on the collections and displays. A lot of hands-on activities. We plan to visit the newly opened aquarium soon.
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.
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.
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!!
Wonders Center is such a great family adventure for all ages!
An amazing facility, The staff are present but not intrusive. The exhibits are unlimited. This is for all ages!
We had a blast at the wonder science center. It was a full day of learning and fun for all my kids.
The facility was well maintained , and was very educational 😊
My kids raved about their experience here! The Africa exhibit was simply amazing!
Excellent venue with exhibits for all ages!
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!
Wonderful to hear Biblical perspective missing in other science museums
The kids had a great time!
