hands-on activities like kids art, sandbox table, oversized litebrite (clever!) and things to build made this fun for our almost 3-yr old. but our 7 year old got bored quick as most of these were geared for younger crowd. the one exhibit that was more "sophisticated" couldn't hold his attention either as exhibit was a bit wordy and not hands on enough. outdoor play area was closed (rain). entry was crowded but there was lots of stroller parking. 5-10 mins to subway.
- Pros: multiple floors with difft activities, lots of stuff
