We love MDC!! We enjoy their events, the exhibits, the gift shop, the boat tour, and our daughter loves their day camps. She has been able to go fishing, make crafts, learn about marine wildlife, and has a great time when she goes. Highly recommend!

My son attended the Thanksgiving break camp and he loved it. Every day he learned something new and was excited to go back the following day. Full of activities and adventures!
