This museum was so cool. It's self guided but there is someone standing around to explain exhibits. My favorite was the upside down room and a room that pulls at gravity. It's not a big museum....

Somewhere interesting to drop by, especially if you have kids. It provides good photo opportunities but a limited in quantity. The price is a bit high ($35/adult) for less than an hour visit.

Museum is not worth its $35 ticket, it is small and lesser exhibits. Other than the gravity room rest are all pretty average.
