  We spent the day at the Sci-Port and it was so much fun. There are hands on exhibits for young children (ours is three) as well as an Imax theater for movie goers of all ages. This was so much fun and we can't wait to go again!

  We stopped in at the Science Center as a rainy Saturday afternoon activity based on reviews. We did not have high expectations but we had hoped it would be interesting enough for 2 adults. Turns out, it was not. We spent about 30 minutes inside looking at the various exhibits. The planetarium exhibit was interesting but I was hoping for something more in that area - a show, an interactive activity, etc. It was clean and staff was very friendly. We did not purchase a ticket to the IMAX theater as there was nothing we wanted to see but I feel if you combine those 2 activities, it would make for a good afternoon.

  So glad you had a great experience, John! The airplane exhibit is such a hit! We look forward to seeing you again.

  We took our 2- and 4-year old there on New Year's Eve, where we enjoyed the ball drop. It was $36 for the four of us (I think the 2 year old was free), which I thought was kind of expensive for less than 2 hours of play. But they did have fun in the area designed for small children, and my engineer husband really loved the whole museum. An added bonus is the museum's location next to a really cool train bridge. We got to see a train cross the bridge, which excited both kids. We come to Shreveport regularly to visit family, and I think we'll bring them again when both are in grade school and better able to absorb the science lessons.

  My kids, ages 8,6, and 5, really enjoy coming here. I learn something every time we come as well. The staff is wonderful and excited about teaching. The only problem I have is wanting to spend time with each child learning from each exhibit and not being able to.

  This Hands-on science center includes exhibits and an IMAX theater. There is also a science demonstration stage with live shows.

  My boys and I have visited Sci-Port at least once a year for numerous years,now. They have wonderful IMAX movies and traveling exhibits! We love this place!

  We started bringing grandchildren to Sci-Port almost 15 years ago. We have a great experience every time, and so do our grandchildren. Our youngest is four. There is always plenty to do that children enjoy, and we enjoy trying out different things along with them. Very educational. Lots of fun. The staff is excellent--never too busy to answer questions or provide assistance. The programs offered are always entertaining. We have attended a good many events with and without our grandchildren including Legos, Titanic, Bones, and Mad Scientist Ball. A membership is a great idea as a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year.

  Beautiful center. Quite appropriate for function. Proximity to other landmarks and areas for entertainment was a plus.

  I came to the museum with my daughter and grandson on Sunday when it opened at noon. It was the first day of shark week. They were studying the anatomy of sharks. I could have done without the dissection of a real shark in order to teach the kids about sharks. In this day and age, you can teach by virtual reality and not have to kill an animal to teach about anatomy. But that was my one and only issue with the entire experience. This is one amazing place for children. There is a wonderful employee there named Marissa who knew a lot about snakes and sharks and put on a fun show called "shocking science". My grandson ran around there for 5 solid hours. We saw an I Max show called "Under the Sea" and they had two other movie options for the same day. A great value for the money. It cost about $49.00 for the three of us to spend the entire day at the museum and to see the movie. If you have a child that enjoys learning about the planets or the human body, or sea life, then this is the place to spend your time. Some of the exhibits were not working as they should, but this is because they have so many visitors and is to be expected. The planetarium is fantastic and runs all day. You don't have to wait for "show times." Highly recommended when visiting Shreveport with children.
