::What a great museum! I took my 4 year old wondering if he’d be old enough to engage and he absolutely loved it. They had an amazing temporary exhibit on robots. We also loved the science playground. As a bonus, we’ve been trying to get him to accept that we’re having a little brother soon, and there was a huge display on human life in the womb. Very helpful to have visuals!

::Great science museum with interactive exhibits for all ages. Kids room upstairs is good for babies through preschoolers, the other rooms are good for a wide variety of ages. Sometimes exhibits get tired, but they seem to consistently change stiff around and bring in interesting new stuff. I wish the big cafe was open past 3pm and that the planetarium show was better, but it's still a very fun place to take family and visiting friends.

::We LOVE OMSI! If you have a little, there's a great interactive space upstairs. Sand pit, water tables, all kinds of stuff. More hands on stuff downstairs as your kids get a little older. NEVER GO ON A DAY THAT PPS HAS OFF. It gets bonkers busy in an un-fun way. If you possibly can, go on a regular old weekday.

::There laser shows have become a huge disappointment. Sounds like an old boom box in the corner of a large room. They used to be enjoyable. Felt like you just experienced a show. Now it's extremely quiet and not visually entertaining. I didn't want to be that "that person" but half way through the show I no longer wanted to be there and wanted to leave. Several groups did leave during the show. Can't say for positive due to the show itself but I suspect so. Fortunately one group who left was nice since I was done listening to their full on conversation about their day with each other. Unfortunate that the music was so quiet they were able to have that time to converse and I had to hear it. If these shows don't improve I know I'll never go to another.

::Amazing place for curious people who want to know how and what of everything. Many different shows and activities related to various things. There is a submarine tour which guides you about the structure and functionality of submarine. The planetarium show is superb and gives great knowledge about galaxy, stars, planets and constellations. We also got a small kit for kids to teach more about the galaxy. There are a few cafes inside where you can have a bite or some coffee. There is also a gift shop inside from where you can but souvenirs as a memory of the museum.
