    My first visit to Liberty Science Center was a few weeks ago on Memorial Day. It was what I…read moreexpected - fun to explore, learned about current and new exhibits, and I felt like a kid again. We came here to see " Sue" the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The last day she was going to be in the exhibit was on Memorial Day. It was sweet to see families and all different kids go through this exhibit with awe and amazement. Our lil guy is in his dinosaur phase and was in love all around. Liberty Science Center was a good space to explore. We didn't have enough time to spend here, however we will return. The space was clean, employees were respectful and kind, and there are plenty of opportunities for anyone to check out different floors of interests. The only con is paying some parts to check out rather than an overall included ticket. Plenty of space to park; Will return soon!

    It was our first time visiting the Liberty Science Center. We didn't really know what to expect but…read morecame for the Dino exhibit that ended up being a bit lackluster. We came at 3:30 (5pm close) on a Saturday and expected it to be less busy. It was PACKED. A sea of strollers and kids and parents. Going up and down in the elevators was a nightmare. Besides the number of people, the exhibits themselves were pretty cool. Mostly for kids aged 4+ but they did have a toddler area named the Wobbly Room which was pretty fun. $64 for two adults, kids under 2 free. A season pass for 2 adults and up to 4 kids was $250 and seems worthwhile if you come at least a few times a year. We definitely need to come back (not on a Saturday?) and do more exploring. We totally missed the planetarium!

    The idea of the iMuseum is great but a few things make the experience here lack luster…read more First the price is too high as the experience can take 30 minutes tops- in my opinion it's a clear money grab. Also at the price of admissions every Guest should be offered a ballon upon leaving. As for the Staff- it seems as their only concern is to process your payment. It's also obvious they do not want you to preview the space before entering. They are also are quick to give mumbled directions, and are inattentive to guest and seem to have no experience or patience dealing with groups and young people. Finally, there is no direct way to contact/speak to anyone from the iMuseum as their phone number is inactive and there is no immediate response from their contact form or instagram messenger. Regardless of all of this, the only positive thing I can say about the iMuseum is that its rooms are really cool to take pictures, but I do wonder if they are regularly wiped downed and cleaned as it's a touch experience.

Skyscape is a really engaging and a well designed experience. Theres a lot to see and do, with interactive spy style missions that kept both me and my son entertained the entire time! My son was completely locked in the whole time and I was right there pretending I definitely understood the instructions on the first try. It's mostly a hands on experience, you're not just walking through exhibits, you're actually participating, solving challenges and learning as you go. Even better, it didn't feel crowded, which made it comfortable to move through at our own pace. We were able to go back and redo some of the exhibits we enjoyed, which made the experience even more fun the second (and third) time around. Overall, a great mix of entertainment and learning, especially for kids but enjoyable for adults too. 10/10. My son loved every second. I loved pretending I knew what was going on.

On weeknights, it's cheaper than the weekends, which made this experience more worth it at $27pp. Plus, you also save a couple dollars by purchasing your tickets beforehand online. We participated in the Spygames portion, which was worth doing. Once we got a wristband and setup an account, we got to start the games. They also offer free lockers (you'll want to remove any purses, bags, jackets, etc) as you'll be moving a lot. There's 10 rooms of a variety of games although some are similar or duplicates. You'll be very active jumping, climbing, and running around. The hour went by pretty quick but we were both sweating and exhausted by the end of it, so an hour is really all you need.

There is a display of catcher gloves though the decades, and lots of pictures and quotes from Yogi. There are replicas of his 10 world series rings and three MVP awards. (the originals were stolen). There is a view into the minor league stadium named after him. I enjoyed the 20 minute film on him also. Yogi's WWII service, and the mentorship of HOFer Bill Dickey are also highlighted. I highly recommend a visit to a place that honors one of the all-time great Yankees, and a great human being.

Mr. Berra was a wonderful family man. During his lifetime, he embraced the importance of giving back and helping others. President Barack Obama awarded the Presidential Metal of Freedom to Yogi Berra. The museum has a pitching area, where you can test your speed. There's a wonderful display of the evolution of catchers mitts from 1895- 2016. During your visit to the museum, please stop in the theater to see an overview of Yogi Berra's life, narrated by Tom Brokaw. The winning banners of the Yankee from 1947 -1962 hang in the theatre. Ticket prices are as follows: Adult- $10, Senior $5, Under 18 $5, Montclair University Students and Veterans Free. There's a designated parking area for visitors to the museum.

    Sloomoo Institute surprised me. With a steep price tag of over $50 per adult and child ticket, I…read morewas skeptical. It looked too gimmicky like the Museum of Ice Cream. However, my slime-loving nine-year-old daughter really wanted to go. As a surprise, I took her. (To save money, only have one adult go.) Here's our experience. 1) Admission: On a Friday afternoon in April, we were able to get tickets online easily. DO NOT WALK IN. You can, but it's the most expensive way to experience Sloomoo. Google promo codes first that work online. A quick Google search revealed three promo codes from influencers that took 20-30% off our tickets. 2) Experience: Once your tickets are scanned and an online waiver is filled out, you'll write your "slime name" on a name tag. Pass through a hall about the history of slime and you're inside the main area. There are several rooms of "buckets" filled with all types of slime with different textures and scents. This was pretty fun and was very relaxing dipping your hands in slime. (Don't worry- you have to wipe your hands clean beforehand with a wipe. There are wipe stations everywhere.) There are a few interactive areas like a giant sling shot, a musical room, a tablet where you pick your slime companion, and a place where you're blindfolded and feel different things in slime holes. (It's not as weird as that sounds.) Part of the experience is making your own slime. You pick what type of slime you want, the scent, the color, and three charms. This took about 20-30 minutes since there are so many scents to pick from. We landed on creamy cloud slime with the passion fruit rose scent, aqua green, and three fruit charms. At the very end, there's an area where you can take off your shoes and walk through slime. Again, you wipe off your feet before and after. Still, if you don't think about how gross it is, it's a unique and fun feeling. 3) Space: There's a single restroom at the start of the museum, but due to a line, staff let us in the staff basement where there are three additional bathrooms. At the very end is a store with all types of slime, slime molds, kits, and more. Our daughter spent $47 of her own money on two slime kits and activator. It's very pricey so limit how much you spend. As a staff member told a kid, "Nothing is free here." 4) Staff: This is where it was a little off. Several staff were a bit odd with the kids. One staff member by the slime making area made a few inappropriate jokes around little kids. Often, staff had to be called to each station so waiting is expected. None were friendly or warm for working with kids. Overall, Sloomoo Institute is worth the experience if you are willing to shell out the money. Our daughter LOVED it and I was surprised how much I did too for having low expectations. However, I'd NEVER come back with that price tag. It's almost offensive.

    If you live in the area you'll only make the mistake of going once. A quintessential tourist trap…read moreof NYC. Unfortunately there will be an endless supply of unsuspecting victims to keep it going. I get dizzy when I think about the smell of the place. Crammed, overpriced, nothing to learn from it.
