Wanted coffee since this place has a coffee shop inside with good reviews. Parking lot was overcrowded, coffee shop overcrowded. I think this place exceeded its limits. Will not return. Some unpleasant smells inside the coffee shop. I left.

Its a nice place to take your kiddos to have a fun day. All that place is entirely cool. They have their own store with toys, and the ticket for the day is really good. They have a cafe for you to sit with your family. They just need to provide more options for little kids that are picky. I love this place!! My only issue is that I have to drive 1 hour

One of the best places to take your kids in NB! This is much more than just a play place - theres different sections, such as a grocery store, where kids can pretend to shop, theres also a water/outdoor play area outside. Hours of engaging, imaginative play for the kiddos!

Our Go-to place for a three year old. Can pretty much just let him Go! Can be busy at times. IMO there should be some sort of parent/family identification to child. Maybe matching armband. Seems to easy to walk out with anyones child. Staff are great.

We had our first trip here yesterday with our 18 month old and had a BLAST! It is smaller than I thought which turned out to actually be a good thing for her age if there were a lot of ground to cover she might not have made it through the whole thing. Will definitely be going back & may even get a membership!

This is a great place to spend the day. Sooo much thought was put into it. Each section of the museum explores a different interest, such as space, wildlife, water, air currents. It gives kids a chance to really explore and dive in head first. $8 per kid or adult.

We have been to McKenna a few times now and my children always have such a wonderful time. This time I was incredibly impressed with the associates working. They did a phenomenal job of doing a continuous sweep of all the rooms and floors keeping everything tidy while children were running around having a blast making messes. My only suggestion would be to have the piece I have pictured looked into as the air flow was not what it normally is. Thank you for another wonderful day

I was disappointed. I thought because it was a kids science museum it would have employees explaining how the exhibits pertained to science and explain the theory behind the science and they didnt. It was more life a child care center you couldnt leave your kids at. My granddaughters had fun though. The price to get in was reasonable, however, the price of items in their gift shop were extremely over priced

Absolutely a wonderful place to take our granddaughter and teach her new things. The only downfall are the older children running around with no supervision and the parents that are sitting in the corner is checked out on their cell phones. Yall should be paying attention to your kids and helping them grow because one day youre going to look up and itll be too late! The memories youve lost from staring at your cell phone will be gone forever.
