Very entertaining museum. We like to go every couple months. There's always more to learn, and rotating exhibits. My kid loves the interactive parts, especially the fishing simulator.

It was well worth the Groupon price. Although small and unassuming, it entertained my three kids (and husband) for over an hour. We got there late so we had to leave when it closed but we could have stayed longer! The staff made the voucher use easy.
