<3 This place ! Full days worth of activities . Walking distance from Walnut street bridge , And plenty of restaurants in walking distance, we always leave to eat lunch , and end up coming back. :-)

Sloan Bowman

Fantastic place to take your children. Many complain it is out of control but that is why we are called parents right? Make sure to check out the great view from the top. Great spot in Chattanooga

Homemade chicken salad sandwich in cafe Dino-mite is surprisingly good. Comes with a side too.

Floyd Cooper

Science demos are amazing! My kids say "best place ever"! My 4 year old loved Thomas the train . My 8 year old loved most everything.

Nate Zimmerly

So that was fun right? We are children. Lol. Anyways. So what are flowers good for? Their beauty right? And what is food good for? It's tastiness! What if there was some way to put them together...

Andy Strickland

Lots of hands on stuff for the kids to stay entertained. Plenty of seats for the adults.

Sannah Parker

The Fall is our slow season, so if you don't like huge crowds, that is the time to plan a visit. Also weekdays opposed to weekends are less crowded .

Make sure you check out the simple machine activities out on the roof. Fun!

My 22 month old loves it, especially the music area. And if you're upset about kid control , blame parents. Not the museum !

I suggest doing water stuff last, otherwise kids walk around wet for the rest of the visit.

Debbie Wheeless

Most of the items that are electronic do not work... some of the intentions don't even work and are missing parts they need to work.markers and stamp pads are dried up not worth the money

Kids under 2 get in free!
