5 /5 Stephanie Peacock: Wow Im shocked at all of the negative reviews. Personally, we think its great. Albeit disappointing that the rainforest still isnt open. Regardless my daughter has gone twice and I went with her the second time. We spent about 2 hours. To read that folks spend an hour just shows they arent really looking closely and probably not doing the interactive exhibits with much true interest or involvement. If you just breeze through quickly then yes, it seems expensive. But I spent about $80 total for two of us, with the extras (including the VR experience) and it met our expectations for an afternoon activity. My kiddo did the cool board that projects your coloring sheet of sea creatures with your name many times over. (I did also!) And the sand mountain/volcano is an impressive little thing! Maybe kids are just too used to being sucked into video games to get much pleasure out of real life anymore.
Also, the habitats for the creatures are beautifully done! Coming from someone with a passion for botany I really admire whomever has the job of replicating each creatures habitat and adding all of the plants. Beautiful! For a brand new educational venue I think theyve done well.
