Admission Tickets to Mercer Labs
Very fun and innovative museum. We went on a day that wasn't too crowded and had the luxury of really taking our time to visit. My only suggestion is don't wear a dress (like I did), as several floors are mirrored and it can be awkward! There are two bars during the tour, which is also fun. The music is loud, so if you have a child with sensitive ears, bring ear plugs or headphones.
