Great place for whole family

Been there many times with the family, both on a field trip during the day with the my son's class, and at night to check out the stars. Be sure to look at the weather report to make sure it is a clear night. The best thing is it is a fun place to go to at night, especially when there are no kid movies out and you are racking your brain for something to do. Kid's love the big Imax style movies and gift shop, I loved the cool old telescopes.
