Really explorative-tactile science museum. Train ride, playground, swings for elderly by riverPotential to be so much more. Needs more funding so they can have more live animal exhibits, self guided informative nature walks, lush gardens.

We had an awesome time! The park is great too!

Fun place to relax if you have kids.

My friend and I took our children here recently. First, I must say that as homeschooling mom's, we love having a free place to bring our little ones to that is full of educational activities. They loved it! However, the staff made it much less enjoyable. The woman at the front desk yelled at my friend's 2 year old repeatedly for "running" from activity to activity. When my very inquisitive 8 year old asked her questions about one of the exhibits, she rolled her eyes and said "I don't know". This same woman presented the "star show" in the planetarium and it was a disaster. There were multiple large families in attendance (as it is a children's museum!) And she paused the pre-recorded video track twice to ask the kids to be quiet. During her talk after the video, she stopped and told my friend that she and her children needed to leave because they were distracting. About five minutes after that, she insisted that another family also needed to leave because (I'm quoting this) "I'm tired of having to talk over your children". (Again, isn't this a KIDS museum?!?). After kicking people out of the planetarium exhibit, her shift must have been over because she pulled out in her car and flew through the parking lot like a bat out of hell. Through a parking lot filled with children playing in a playground! After this experience, we want to the Nature Center where my eight year old daughter was again yelled at because she was playing with her little sister in a section that was marked as "five years and under". Come on, people! If you're there for kids, lay off!

I found it very interesting, beautiful, and serene to visit this quaint little planetarium. The outdoor space was just beautiful with vibrant flowers and the Neuse river right in the back of the property. They also have a very small animal exhibit which my son loved and absolutely enjoyed. There is also a very big playground for children to play on also.
