I agree with other reviews that mentioned the 3D experience having low quality. I somehow still found the movies enjoyable. The other experiences were really fun. The Fossil finding was very fun extra cost at gift shop. It was cool seeing the fossils appear from the water.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$16–20
This is such a fun, informative place. I went with a 12 & 7 year old. We all learned something. We enjoyed the exhibits. The shows are boring and I'd recommend an update with more kid friendly options. But it's still a great science center! You can see everything in a couple hours.
Such a great place for my daughter. She loved the wildlife, the play area and the space/weather exhibit. My husband loved it as well. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We are sad that the 3D movies weren't working. Hopefully next visit it will be.Wait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$21–30
We had an amazing experience here! There is so much history and so many different things to do here. There is a huge room for kids play. They had things like balls that you could roll down different tracks and making your own roller coasters. They had a section for you to be your own news reporter, make a lightning storm, touch a cloud and find anywhere in the world using Google maps. My kids ages 2 and 10 as well as myself had a great time. They do have a cafe that you can order food from and eat outside at their picnic tables either in the shade or in the sun. Our favorite thing there were the whisper dishes that were found outside by the fish pond. Make sure you visit after you feed the fish in the turtles whisper through the ring and the sound will bounce off of the big satellite dishes behind it, it was super cool to play phone tag through them. They have a large theater that shows 3D movies, we were able to see two different movies the day we were there, and recommend titanosaur, both were absolutely great. They had a large section that showed the Old Town Fort Myers, it was cool to see the replicas and the history of the town. There was a large Sputnik room that gave history and also upon walking up to the building there is a 911 memorial that has a timeline of events. It was cool to walk with the kids and tell them what I remembered from that day. There is also a gift shop at the front of the store, of course you have to walk through it to buy your tickets and for entry! LOL. We recommend the hurricane simulator!!! All in all a great place to spend a day with the family.
We have the ASTC Passport membership and have been to this museum 3 times now. My 4 kids ages 4-8 love it. They will spend all day building with any of the options in the engineering lab, or the out door water table which is not always open. The 3D movies don’t really seem 3D, but my kids enjoyed the dinosaur feature and Tornado Alley. The live animals are an exciting attraction for them, as well as the electronic interactive games upstairs. A couple of the exhibits have been “out of order” or “closed” for several months now, which is disappointing, but my kids will easily spend 3-4 hours here and are always bummed when we have to leave. We will come again next time we are in the area.
My boys love this place we come every time we visit family in Ft Myers. It's a wonderful place for small children my boys are 2 and 5 there is plenty for them to do. It's great for a day or afternoon out of the sunVisited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$11–15
Hands down an amazing experience for kids of all ages. My family and I have gone at least 3 times and haven't really seen/done everything. They have a changing exhibit room so there is always something new. The "theater in the tank" has several short videos and some in 3d that are very intriguing. So many hands on experiences that I couldn't possibly list them. Add to that, the small cafe has very impressive food and the prices aren't terribly high. I had the philly cheese steak and was actually impressed at the taste and quality. We love that it isn't that far of a drive for us and our kids 11 & 9 beg us to take them. So absolutely 10/10 recommend, and we will absolutely return again and again.
Great place!!! My son spent almost all day looking at the exhibits and playing at the interactive ones. Definitely coming again.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$21–30
We had our daughter's birthday party there. It was the best experience ever. We had our money's worth they were so nice and we really didn't have to do anything. We just brought the cake, the took care of everything. Our guest loved it. I would highly recommendVisited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entry$11–15
We love IMAG.... We have come here every year for the last 7 years! Our kids always look forward to it as do we. The King Tut exhibit is amazing! We love supporting you and your passion for the community!
