An EXPERIENCE for ALL AGES!
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!
The littles had a great time!
Perfect way to kick off our science exploration for the year!
An amazing facility, The staff are present but not intrusive. The exhibits are unlimited. This is 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!
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 cool place for the whole family
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.
Very informative. I love how it's always changing and adding exhibits. There's so much to learn!
Very cool! Lots of space for all the kids and lots to do and look at.
We 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.
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
So many fun things to do great for all ages
Awesome place! So grateful that it’s only five minutes from our house 😊
Great place to come bring your family and spend a few hours enjoying the wonderful of God’s creation. Also sign up and come enjoy the monthly unwrapped talks on a host of subjects.
The coffee is amazing!!!!!!
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.
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!!!
This is a nice museum that’s fun for kids of all ages. We had fun here with my one year old.
Absolute best times for the kids. Great for teens and toddlers!
Visited with our grandchildren. This is a high quality experience that demonstrates how our faith in a creator and His Word are supported by science. A must for Christians & for anyone who seeks the truth.
Great turn out today!
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.
So many things to see and do for 5-11 year olds
Great place for little kids. Hands on areas and my son loved the Dino exploration area!
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.
This place is awesome!
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.
Very interesting!
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.
