Animal section is more exciting. Planetarium section could have more work done. Wasn’t any hands on stuff with the planets, just a thirty min show where you watch. You would think there would be more creativity for that when the planet section costs an extra $8

I took my husband here on Monday because he loves space! And I saw this was the largest in America. Well maybe it is but that's the only exciting thing about it. I was so disappointed in the shows! We went to 3 shows. All different. First off, they all sounded the same. I could have saved money and sent to just one! It felt more like a college class lecture than an awesome journey through space! And every show at the end be has a CGI Rollercoaster on a planet and you ride it. But it was absolutely terrible! My husband and I had to keep our eyes closed! It was just a bunch of spinning! It was terrible. I would recommend the 3d shows though! Loved those!!

We loved the shows and the gross science was awesome! The live presentations make the real difference compared to New York Planetarium. The only problem was food. Even though it was freshly made, still made us queasy. Other than food - we had fun, would definitely recommend visiting.

Terrible planetarium show, the guy talks the whole time felt like I was in a class with a professor. Paid 88 bucks for 2 people. Staff is great and friendly. But the show is not worth the price at all. Wish I got a refund. Looks cool in images but in-person felt like a lecture terrible experience.

I went to see the James Hood Beautificia and I'm going to tell you right now it's NOT worth the price. It's insane how much companies get away with false advertising these days. I was thinking this was going to be somewhat educational with voice narration and insights into life etc.(it says journey of life and death) NO this was a 45 minute MUSIC VIDEO of just random visuals in space with very little to be left to interpretation.
10 minutes in I was left bored cause if I wanted this I would just play music on a visualizer on my media playlist at home for free 🙄 this was CRINGE worthy. DO NOT BUY. Shame on you guys and the cash grab on gullable people, seriously.

The Blue Whale exhibit was very interesting. Worth seeing and learning about this rare creature. But the program in the “planetarium “ , which is more like an iMax theater, was very disappointing. It was not very informative, was not clear in presentation, and wasted time and attention with the two simulated “roller coaster rides”. What was the point of that diversion? Also, please stop referring to the people in the audience as “guys “. Really unprofessional.

I would like to review LSC from a kid's POV. I have been here in several different scenarios: * as a child many moons ago, back when the touch tunnel was open more often than closed * volunteering every year for e-Week (Engineers' Week), where I staff a table and visitors to LSC bring their kids to build models and play engineering games * bringing my friend's 5th grader to a regular day at LSC and see what it has for older kids * most recently, for the 21+ "After Dark" series I can say it was interesting as a child, but as an adult the ticket prices are stifling. This will cost you way over $100 to have two parents, two kids, maybe a planetarium show, food and drink. Plus parking. But that's how they fund their exhibits. Again, for your child, there are a range of interactive exhibits and touch toys (yeah, you may want to bring a container of baby wipes for your kid's hands to reduce chance for disease), buttons to press, math to practice, even live animals! My 5th grade consort found plenty to do, such as a lab where the kids dressed in white lab coats and walked through an experiment to learn that process. May have been both of our favorite activities that day. The giant hanging climb-through-it tunnel I think is off limit to adults, but it was open to us for "After Dark" so I finally got to experience that and understand why it's not for adults (tight corners, minimal headspace, no room to pass when it's popular/crowded). In the end, not my vote for a place to casually blow money, but a must-visit for parents or schools to bring their kids. Maybe more than once so they can grow into different and exciting exhibits. Good times.

Seems to be underrated. I rarely visit Jersey City, but I came here for the Brewsology Beer Festival. If you're not familiar with them, they take over museums across the country and hold a huge beer festival. This time it happened at the Liberty Science Center. I consider it to be a hands-on type of musuem. The third floor is my favorite. You can crawl around through a pitch-black tunnel, do a rock climb, play around in a climbing gym. This floor features animals, train sets, microbes. The Planetarium was probably my favorite, and it is reportedly the largest planetarium in the United States. I wasn't aware of this. Overall, 4 stars - fun and educational.

We liked it. There was cool science experiment shows that kids will love. A great activity during the day. The kids especially liked the cool planet stuff.

So this is the first time ever that I've come to the liberty science center and I don't know how it has taken me 36 years to do so. Learning is so much fun when it's interactive and if you don't believe me ask any child there. I went on a weekday for like 45 dollars and along with exploring the whole place we also got to see a show in the planetarium that talked about living on other worlds. The entire experience was mind blowing and you learn so much. From live animals to electricity to hanging off the side of a building its all there. I think my favorite part was the show in the planetarium though. I think it's the biggest on the east coast. Even though some of the attractions were closed we still had an amazing time. I'll definitely be back . Oh and they do have a food court if you get hungry

Fun time with family. Can get crowded so be strategic with times. Clean facilities. Would get a pass if we lived closer.
