We went to the science center for the Dr Who show and to go to the planetarium- the science center staff were excellent with being prompt and courteous and getting us to and from the planetarium- my husband uses a wheelchair so needed to access the planetarium through the elevator. We had fun with all the interactive exhibits, and I loved seeing the ag science geared section with garden beds, chickens, and information about rural life and agricultural production.
