Took my kiddos mostly for the Ice Dinosaurs exhibit. They had a blast! Really affordable, especially for Genesee County residents. Very friendly & helpful staff.

Actually pretty cool if you like natural science and there are plenty of interactive exhibits. Water zone is chaos. Cool place to take the kids on a rainy day.
