I really wanted to celebrate my 18th there because i knew it would bring back happy memorie. but didn't want it to be weird at my grown age. One day I hope to go back and play in that water table. I would truly do anything to be a kid and play there. I hope I get married there. nothing would bring me more joy.

Wonderful place to play! Took my granddaughter to play when she was in Michigan visiting. It was…read morefun to watch her experience everything. The staff was friendly and helpful. There were a few items that needed some updating and repair like the noses for the eyeglasses, the heart area, and the wooden cars and racetrack. Other than that there was still a wide variety of things for kiddos of all ages to do. Large open areas that promote running around and a huge lazy river, water table to play in. A very inexpensive way to spend a few hours!

Deeply disappointing after the renovation. What happened to actual history and science? The idea…read morethat AI even deserves a full exhibit (predictably, centered on the African diaspora) is absurd. AI only does what you tell it to; who cares? Meanwhile, the actual nature and science is relegated to a room upstairs now. If this is the direction the university is going, I fear we may soon no longer even study science and history on university grounds at all. The globe with the projections on it for earthquakes and tsunamis is worth it, though.

My disappointment soon turned into absolute disbelief. Our amazing little gem of a museum has closeted all of the relics of history and turned itself into a highly politicized batch of current event science immersions.......bizarre and so very very Alice In Wonderland-ish.........

It is not worth it for the money. You pay a general cost for the regular museum which could use…read moresome help as it is crowded in the children's hands on area and lackluster in the other areas. Then you have to pay extra for the special exhibit which is not noted on their website. For 4 adults and a 6 year old it was over $100 for a lack luster museum. Would rather spend my money in Detroit or Grand Rapids.

While up here last December, I discovered this gem while visiting the Art Museum directly across…read morethe street. It was closed for renovations and I wasn't able to visit at the time, so I made a point of stopping in while in the area. This seems to be a family friendly museum with a large kids area for them to explore. There's also a large area of Flint's history with logging, automotive, General Motors and cars. Also, I didn't have to pay since I wasn't a Genesee county resident? Otherwise I think it's $12 to get in if you are. The car exhibit is fabulous to look at. It's pretty much General Motors since it was a major Flint employer for many years. Overall I didn't spend more than a half an hour here cruising through the place. I thought there would be more, but there wasn't. I was hoping to have spent at least an hour but couldn't pull it off. No, I didn't read every single sign because not everything here appeals to me, but it is a good spot to learn and expand your horizons at.

An interesting hole-in-the-wall oddity/paranormal/antique mortuary science museum. It's small, but…read moredon't let that deter you--the owner leads tours for $5 that are chalk-full of stories about many of the items in the highly curated collection. The tour I was on lasted for about an hour and went in-depth into the history of the cooling/embalming table, embalming process, voodoo exhibit, and several of the paranormal dolls housed within the museum, ending with the choice to peer into a haunted--some may even describe as "cursed"--mirror fragment. If you appreciate the odd, paranormal, macabre, or gothic, this place is definitely worth a visit! It's located inside an indoor market past a record store. I wish I could've nabbed a t-shirt or pin, but didn't see anything for sale in the store (could have missed them, though).

Their collection of magic antiques and collectibles are unique and beautifully placed throughout their historic building. A big shoutout to tell the curator(s) who you can tell spent a great deal of time setting up the space. I was greeted by the Director, Sarah and she was so awesome! She gave me a great introduction of the museum, talked history with me and helped me get some cool posters they were selling. Even with Covid-19 going on, I felt safe inside because Sarah was wearing a mask and the space was clean. They would love some visitors during this time so give them a visit!! This is something fun for all ages!!
