"A terrific experience marred by costly food options"

Reviewed July 27, 2024

Great science museum. We enjoy this place. Several fun exhibits for all ages. The only real negative is the food. It's ok, but the prices are ridiculous. Chicken strips + fries + drink = $18. Mozzarella sticks - 3 normal sized sticks for $7. At these prices, I'd suggest any other restaurant in the area before coming here and ensuring the shocking cost of getting your family what looks like a simple meal. It is really the only thing that sours my visits here - yet it's so costly a mistake, it has me looking for other attractions for a family day.

"Great for Future Science Buffs"

Reviewed June 23, 2024

Drove from Brooklyn with our 9 yo during the heatwave on a Sunday morning. Was our first time for all of us and it didn’t disappoint. A bit pricey and have to pay extra for certain exhibits but only paid for entry and the Blue Whale exhibit. Parking is $7.00 which is fine, they have 2 snack areas but didnt partake. There was a lot of kids there but didn’t feel too cramped or claustrophobic.

"Unique Team Activity"

Reviewed May 14, 2024

Our experience at the Liberty Science Center on Friday, May 10th, was fantastic. Mary and the LSC's STEM team and staff were nothing but professional. The activity of building 3-D models was a unique and engaging experience for our sales team. Five stars all around!

"Perfect for families"

Reviewed April 19, 2024

I had heard about LSC for years and finally went. It took some getting to, but when I arrived, I was stunned by the enormity of the place, it was almost like they had too much space and didn’t know what to do with it all. The baby chicks were a favorite. Would definitely recommend for families. A great place to spend the day. It reminded me of an AMC theater, all modern, but we made our own movie.

"REALLY BAD - UNPROFESSIONAL and UNKIND PEOPLE"

Reviewed April 03, 2024

One of THE most unprofessional and illogical organizations that I’ve come across - and I’ve travelled the world. We were 8 minutes late to one of their planetarium shows after driving 1 hour in pouring rain and they refused to let us in. Brielle C., in particular was very very uncourteous - she refused to listen and had been a very sour person to talk to at the entrance to the planetarium. Michael, her supervisor was much more considerate, and very kind, but his hands were tied behind his back by his superiors. All they had to do was let us in and we were willing to pay extra, but their simple answer was that the computer will not allow them! Would not recommend this to anyone, since they don’t know how to ensure kindness or professionalism!
