Today was a great day to be here, but the $10 admission fee was steep for our family of nine, so we only brought our two youngest children. I think it would be more reasonable to charge only for children 16 and under, with two adults admitted free per family. Despite this, we had a wonderful time, and the staff were outstanding, communicating well and making our experience special. My one and three year old boys had a blast playing with the kinetic sand, milking a fake cow, and splashing in the water pad, among other activities

We had a blast at the Monroe Science Center back in November to help celebrate our daughter’s third birthday! It was a Wednesday afternoon so it wasn’t crowded at all and there were lots of activities to keep our littles entertained (3 & 1). Our favorites were the water activity table, mother/baby private nursing room, paper airplane making/flying activity, sensory room, kinetic sand pit, gravity balls, story time, and extra friendly staff! Our little girl even made friends with another little boy and his parents and they surprised her with a sticker book from the gift shop as they were leaving. 😭😭 Thanks to the Monroe Science Center, we’ll never forget the day our little girl turned three. 🥹 Check it out for an affordable afternoon of fun with your littles!

Wow this place is a hidden gem of fun and entertainment for kids! My kids (ages 1-9) all had such a great time here! We will definitely be back since it’s so close to us! The paper airplane maker/shooter was a huge hit!

Great value for the price. My kids (5, 6, and 11) all had a blast in the 2 1/2 hours we spent there. Going later in the afternoon limited the time but was also less crowded. Fun place!

As a real estate agent, my team hosts quarterly client appreciation events and chose Monroe Science Center for one this year. We had a large turnout and the center was fabulous with accommodating us and our guests. All of the kids had tons of fun and were able to explore the center safely and semi-independently. They even had an outdoor space where we could have donuts and coffee. It would be a lovely place to spend a rainy day or to host a family-friendly event.
