Overall not bad and costed 40$ for 2 people adults pay 24 and 5-15 year olds pay 19$ the quality of the museum was cool but they dont let you pet the animals outside . Paper airplane launches but train wasnt there. Overall kinda pricey for what it is but the space section was pretty cool.

This is a spectacular experience for the community in the Bill City Durham NC - conveniently…read morelocated not to far off the I 85 downtown exit- adjacent to other routes.I went to see my grandson play ball -it's conveniently situated on a level format - accessible parking close to front door -it has an elevator by the lobby that takes you downstairs to the regulation basketball court & gym - or you can take the stairs. It's really amazing. A couple teams was playing at the same time. It's spacious- very high ceiling allows for a lot of light My understanding there is also a daycare space in the building.This awesome place is dedicated to the Mother of Coach Mike Kryszyzewski's - a beautiful picture of her & Coach K is located on the back wall of the lobby. Even though there are bleachers in the gym- thoughtfully there are chairs placed on the floor if desired or needed. The children looked like they was having fun and the parents and supporters including myself was cheering them on! A very enjoyable experience!!

There are outdoor games that you can play as well. I feel like things were priced reasonably and I would definitely visit again.

I made an appointment and had to wait for a few minutes for them to open but once we were in - Emma gave us the low down of the place. Crafts galore! Pretty much you pick any project and pay $20.00 pp for a 2 hour window. We had a lot of fun making crafts - using the 3d printer and I carved a pattern on a piece of wood. I recommend taking your kids or friends here and then grabbing a bite as there's lot of businesses here and it's popular.
