    I came across this place randomly through a friend’s post online. Wow! How much fun it was! I took my 2 little kids and I think I had more fun than they did! So many things to interact with! Don’t forget to look up!

    I visited this place with my 10 year old and 13 year old. Both had an amazing time. There is a scavenger hunt with pictures to ensure that the family sees everything there is to see. One of the exhibits was closed while we were there but we still spent a good three hours. My kids love to trying on the bulletproof vest and exploring the police car on site. You pay by donation, which makes this very affordable. We will definitely be back.
