We also didn't purchase tickets ahead of time and it was fine. My kids enjoyed getting free candy in each room and the interactive rooms were the most fun for them. Tickets in my opinion were a bit expensive but what activity isn't now a days. It's great for a one time experience.

I also learned there was a Virginia Gentleman bourbon distillery in the area until the late 80s. There was a friendly volunteer working there and they sell lots of Reston souvenies and t-shirts but I didn't buy anything. It's interesting to check out for a few minutes if you're in the area and there's a restroom as well.

This is a pretty small model railroad museum in what used to be an old train station along the W&OD…read moreTrail. *** Note: They are only open ONE Saturday per month from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Check their website to see when they will be open next and plan ahead to go for a visit. *** My two boys and I actually really like this place. The only reason I downgraded it to 3-stars was due to their very limited open hours, and it's a pretty small place. It'd be nice to be able to bring friends to visit, but there's only been once when we've had friends visiting coincide with the weekend they were open. However (comma) it's DEFINITELY worth a visit. If you're a local, then plan ahead and go check it out. Next to the building, they have a real red caboose you can climb through. Inside the building, you can watch the model trains running. There's a little trolley model train that the kids can operate and earn their own "engineer's license." You probably won't need more than an hour to visit, but it's a neat thing to get out of the house and see with your kids.

Epic collection of firearms with a rich history. The staff at the museum were very professional and…read moreanswered all my questions thoroughly. The firearm collection is very extensive and goes beyond my highest expectations. We were immediately greeted at the front desk by Zack. He was very informative about the museum. 98% of the museum is made up of donations. About 8,000 firearms donated are in storage. Bill, one of the staff, was very helpful and talked about James Joseph "Whitey" Bulger Jr.. I was impressed at the arrangement of the firearms and how they were organized in a meaningful way. It would take many hours to go through and read all the exhibits. We spent about two hours there. I was very impressed with the exhibit of weapons used in Hollywood movies. I adored the exhibit with taxidermy animals especially the bear. The Buffalo Bill and George Washington exhibit were very eye catching as well. The most spectacular moment in the museum was hearing about and see an exhibit piece owned by one of America's most notorious criminals, Charles Manson. The museum curator, Ernie, gave me vivid details of how the gun was confiscated by the police. Admission to the museum is free and one of Fairfax's finest and unique local attractions. Strongly recommend this museum.

This review is for the Operations only (I've watched YouTubes and have attended events in the past…read morethat were super cool, and I'm a fan of the maker community). Jennyfer was very rude, condescending, and unwelcoming to me. I have never felt so uncomfortable with anyone on the phone before. I emailed with an inquiry on availability for rental space and provided some ideas for volunteering that I could provide to the community. Not only did she imply that I had written "a lot of info to share via email," but then proceeded to ask me to what I wanted on the phone as if I was in an interrogation. She said, "Oh, I am sorry, I don't think you know who I am. Let me introduce myself....I manage Nova Labs and the Innovation Center... " This is unwarranted display of power and "gatekeeping" for a non-profit community organization. I had only visited the space several years ago when my friend had his office there. I am not aware of the politics or structure that she was implying about whether or not I was approvable in her eyes in becoming a member and volunteer with Nova Labs as well as whether I am qualified to rent an office space that should only be for"people who make things" not those who work at a desk. I make things using my computer and with my hands. Really disappointed and sad that this all just happened.

I want to like this place so much but I can't under current operations. I quit after two months…read more Too many bad experiences. You can always try a month and see it's for you. I reserved the laser cutter but people would be on it and tell me to take a hike. Several code violations that shutdown most of the back so could not work on some projects. Odd personalities to deal with like at a disfunctional job site. Lots of newbies that I question if they have ever used a hammer or cordless drill. My personality is more organized and process orienteded, read engineering not liberal arts, so this place drove me nuts, BUT they are volunteers so I have to give them some leeway. Pros: Assortment of tools to cover any project. Layout based on type project type. Training sessions. Cons: Training session cost on the high side. This does weed out the not serious people looking for free entertainment. Equipment not available when you arrive. Equipment down or somebody is using it. One hour commute and $5 gas down the toilet. People not cleaning up, leaving tools out, screwing up the adjustment of machines.
