    My son and I had an amazing time. The staff was super welcoming and helpful. Elley was very knowledgeable and helpful. She gave us a tour and answered all of my questions. This place is a hidden gem, if you have kiddos; they'll love the place.

    Phenomenal event at the Science Center this eve!! A big thank you to Yelp and Kendall for the special invite!!

    Great little nature preserve/center with exhibits!! Bring family, friends and the kiddos. I attended a special event being held here. We walked around a bit inside and viewed all of the displays and got a little culture. It's lovely at night, all lit up and outside of the center you can take a nature walk...especially as the sun Is setting or when it's a bit lighter out. We even got to roast marshmallows on the fire pit! The hickory smoke smell of the wood made me so happy. Overall I had a wonderful night out at the science center!

    The main buildings architecture is beautiful and has a minimal impact on the environment. When you walk in you are greeted by somebody at the front desk that is happy to assist and answer any questions you may have. They have a few small exhibits inside of native species (red eared sliders, copperhead, and other small animals). They have a little play area then a room that overlooks a little pond. Once you look at everything inside you walk out the back and can go down the steps to the pond, there are fish and turtles in here that come right up to you. After that you can walk around trails at river legacy park. My 6 year old son loved this and the best part is it's free! it's not incredibly large so I would not plan a whole day here, but a few hours is nice.

    Enjoyed the visit. Great place to bring children. Trails surround the location for walking and bike riding. The indoor exhibits are pretty nice.

    Super cute little guy!

    Highly educated, informative, and friendly staff. This place is an oasis in an environment where nature is quickly disappearing.

    Beautiful area with great walking trails, but we were disappointed that the science center was not open.

    Amazing store! Such…read morea well executed concept with great merch from beloved brands like Marvel, Star Wars, Nintendo, several anime, and other pop culture. Clothing is stylish and fairly priced with all the discounts offered. What made the store 5 stars was the awesome employees. The guy working the shop when I visited was the nicest employee in the entire mall, had a great conversation and was really kind and helpful at checkout.

    Well we really like all of the neat stuff they have here. They have various Disney items, anime,…read moreetc. They also are usually always running some sort of BOGO some % off. Though even with that it is still pricey. Two shirts even with a discount was $45 with the change rolled up for food bank donations. So not somewhere I would shop regularly, even though they have some amazing items. Staff is friendly and helpful but can be really pushy when it comes to the deal. This last time I was there i really was only there for this one $28 shirt. I had all 3-4 employees stop me when looking around for the sake of looking around to make sure I knew to pick up a second shirt for that % off which bumped me up to that $45 when I found something for my daughter. The previous to that time I resisted the urge to buy a second, and as I was checking out I was asked 3 times if I was sure I didn't want to find a second item for % off. I know they are in the business of making money but it's a little much sometimes in this particular stores when you are normally an introverted shopper.

    Conquer Ninja Gym is more of a place to come take classes or host a party over an all of the time…read moreopen Gym/Play area. We came for a classmate of my kids birthday here. If your kiddo is looking for something very ninja warrior where they try to run up curved walls to see how high up they can go ... or can dangle from things; its a great spot for those kinds of kids. Especially if you need them to burn off some energy. The kids all had fun, but based on how a couple things went we know its not something my family would sign up our kids for on our own based on our intrest. Though a number of kids had a great time. Where I knock down a star is found it not to be different ablity friendly, as other similar kid gym places we've had my younger kid signed up at in the past. (Kid strong when still an option in the area was OT/PT kid friendly.) Obviously not everything is for everybody; and I'm not talking something like someone in a wheelchair or ... but and they didn't seem prepared for a kid who might have something like OT/PT differences. There was a few things that didn't sit right with another mom and I at the party.

    Great place for kids to burn off some energy while having a great time. They have open gym times…read moreand bunch of classes and people can have parties and events there. it is a fun place or I guess you could also use it to become the next American Ninja Warrior. Overall it is very fun and the people are really nice.
