For my science loving 8 year old, this was high on her list to visit once she heard it had a moon theme! The girls loved that they could try climbing the moon, there were moon rocks to spin and a statue near the benches even showed the different phases of the moon.

Also good to know, there is a portable bathroom right by the parking lot! Address: Flatiron Meadows Blvd,…
