An EXPERIENCE for ALL AGES!
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.
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!
Great experience! Brought the family and learned a lot. Tons for kids to do.
Wonderful for all ages.
The littles had a great time!
Very interesting!
Very Educational place. It was so much fun. Good place for the kids learn. Will tell my friends to visit there
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.
I took my grand children and we had the best time. Will definitely go back!
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.
Wonders Center is such a great family adventure for all ages!
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.
Well put together operation. Well presented science. Good children and adults.
Great, kid friendly place! My kids love exploring and learning here with interactive games and videos! 🥰
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.
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!
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.
It was the best. The kids loved it
Love what David and his team is doing. Heb 11:1 says "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" David is making it possible for many Christians young and old "see" through faith, some of the evidence of God's masterpieces of creation. I really appreciate how this is a place I can bring my children and they get a biblical point of view and is faith based.
Far exceeded my expectations. I cannot wait until I can go again.
