Just wondering if anyone has been to the Science Center. When we go in March our friends are only able to do one park . Our plan is to go to Magic Kingdom saturday (they are only buying a one day pass...no hopping), and sunday to the science center. Then they are leaving to go back home once we finish there. The science center looks like the Science Museum in Ft Lauderdale which my ds and their ds love. Not to mention the Titianic exhibit happens to be at the museum now and we all are looking forward to seeing that (I saw it years ago and loved it).

So anyway, just wondering if anyone has been there and how were the hands-on exhibits.

Thanks for the info.

We went this past summer. I wish we would have gotten there earlier than we did (we got there about 2:00 pm) because we missed alot of stuff I wanted to do and see. It was nice and different for us because we don not have something that big in Tallahassee for us. I would say it is nice to try it at least once. We did like it,but again, I would have like more time there. They have a hurricane simulator and that was pretty cool. They have a few pretty good shows and plenty of hands on. I wanted to to a lb that they have there but missed all the times . I think you would enjoy it as long as you give yourself plenty of time to explore.

Is the Science Centre near to WDW? I only ask because this would be something we would love to see, especially the exhibitions. We often visit the Kennedy Space Centre as we find this so interesting and a really good day out.

I believe it took us about 20 or 30 mins. to get there from where we were. Not to bad. we were close to I-4 and to the MK exit.

Check out the Center's website. It really does look pretty cool. We plan on making a day out of it if we go. I cant wait to see the Titanic exhibit again , aside from the science stuff.

Another fun place to go if you have kids is Monkey Joes. We found this place when we spent a weekend at the Nick hotel (which is not all THAT..thus the need to find something to do with two 5 yr old boys other than disney). It is an indoor inflatable play center. Large slides, obstacles, bounce house, etc. THey have snack foods, pizza, etc. It is a good place to kill 2 hours or so. And it is under $10 per child ... adults are allowed on the inflatables as well. Just make sure the kids realize they have to wait to go down the slide until the kid at the bottom gets up. My ds nearly broke his nose because he slid down before his friend got up. His nose hit the back of his friend's head...oucH!

The science center is pretty cool, I would def. reccomend it over Wonder Works.

The Orlando Science Center is great I took 22 girl scouts there in the summer of 2006 and they enjoyed it!

Cool tip someone once told me: Before going on a vacation in any location do a web search for kids party places in those locations - you would be surprised what you find (all kids related stuff) and most places have a general admission times.
