The history alone drew me in... a place where Sinatra sang in the 40s and St Anthony's HS won basketball state championships - now beautifully renovated with a great sound system. I loved the size - roomy enough but very intimate. Great restaurants downstairs.

We visited Liberty Science Center over President's Day weekend because it was on the way home from a visit with friends and because it would be free entry with our ASTC membership to another museum. Because of our membership, we have been to multiple science centers along the east coast and I expected to see the same exhibits you see everywhere. I was pleasantly surprised with Liberty Science Center! They had multiple floors with a variety of exhibits that held the kids' interests all day. And you can't beat those views! My son's favorite installation was the Dream Machine where he loved trying out the different sounds and listening to the cacophony. Of course, both kids loved the Infinity Climber and my daughter was proud of herself after conquering the Touch Tunnel. The new Lion Guard exhibit is cute, but very crowded, and clearly designed for the younger set. However, my kids enjoyed it nonetheless. I loved the Skyscraper exhibit - I found it very informative for adults and super fun for kids as they got to walk an I-beam! The best part, though were the experiments! In both the Microbes Rule! and Our Hudson Home, children can sign up to have a more individualized experience with science. They wear lab coats and with guidance from staff, recreate real-life experiments. It was a unique experience I haven't seen at other centers. Although we saw most of the areas, I can't wait to return in the warmer weather to take advantage of the outside animal challenge! Liberty Science Center is a must-see for families due to it's multiple engaging hands-on exhibits!
