    The greeter was knowledgeable and informative. Tons of cool vintage items including tractors and cars! Free and fun!

    This SL location was definitely a lot smaller than we thought it'd be. Free parking. We went for a…read morespecial "block" party exhibit that turned out to have various block building areas and was quite a small area for a special ticketed event and you weren't allowed to go back in the area once you walk out which we didn't know. They had an area with science interactive areas that was free and an area with dinosaur history. I'd recommend if you want a bigger full experience to check out the main location one in the museum district as this SL one is quite small.

Members can use their pass at either location. This location is actually ironically located in a fairly simplistic brick building that used to house a prison of all things. Parking is free. Inside there are just a few exhibits including life science, hall of technology, a special salt exhibit, hall of paleontology, space hall, and a few other exhibits that required a special extra fee like a dig pit. The exhibits are somewhat small but almost all have an interactive component which can be great for small kids. Part of our event included a very short tour of the second floor and our guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. I work in a very different type of industry so this was really refreshing to see. They do have private meeting rooms that can be reserved which made it easy to have some meeting events in addition to time to wonder the exhibits. Overall, I enjoyed the day and glad that I got the opportunity to "be a kid again." If you're in the area it's definitely worth checking out. If you're far away however, I am not sure that I would make a special drive.

    Life is too short to color inside the lines so why not go wild and explore the universe of color!…read more After visiting the NYC location, this was a must on our trip to Houston. It was a world of fun photo props rooms and cool FYI about the categories of color. You can book tickets online using their website or Instagram to reserve your day and time a lot. FYI, kids of all ages are welcome but no strollers are allowed as there are stairs to climb and go down. They have cute snack pairings like fortune cookies , taffy and ice cream as you explore each art room. I absolutely loved it and we did the entire place in about an hour. You can take even more time If you wish . Bonus: after you register inside , you keep a cool QR card to take all your photos and they email them to you after the experience! You can also use the kiosk to print your photos out for a fee . There are beverages for purchase as well ( beer, wine, water and poppi soda ) It's a must for a solo trip, date or group !

    Color Factory was just ok to me. It is a bit over rated and over priced for adults; however. the…read morekids loved it but they were looking for more. It is one of those places that can easily be a one and done. There is discounted weekday price starting at $19 for kids 3-12. Something tells me the $19 is if you buy it in advance. Meaning, not the day of. I paid $25 for the kids and $29 for myself online. The photo opps are what you make of it. Like for instance I've been to places where you press a button and the confetti drops down. For this, you have to actually throw the confetti up yourself. Good luck trying to figure this out with kids if you're looking for a good photo. They were also a bit underwhelmed with it. They loved the music room, the light bright room, and the balloon room. The goodies. It was cute. I'm trying bit to give the whole experience away if you are interested in going. It is best to pay for the ice cream online as it is a bit cheaper but not by much. Those cones were cute and delicious. I purchased the photo package. It really isn't necessary as you get to download the photos from a QR code you use when snapping the pics. There is a small parking lot near to it. If you wait for the group before you to leave then you can get a spot without an issue.

It is located in The Galleria, 1st floor near Gap. It is little hidden but it didn't take long to find it after lookin at the directory. We didn't book tickets ahead of time but it was easy to scan the QR code and purchase them on the spot. Age 4 & under are free. It is a self paced museum and there are several staff throughout which help you with various installations & how to position for the best photo op. They even have stools for the little ones. The exhibit is fun for all ages which is nice when you have kids at various ages & definitely enjoyable for adults! Our favorite were astronaut picture mirror illusion, spinning tunnel & life size 3D pin art impression wall. There are a lot of fun photo ops in an upside space shuttle room and when you flip the picture upside, it creates a cool effect. There are a lot of cool things we also picked up in the gift shop at the end. I highly recommend this museum for families! My kids were already wanting to go back as we were leaving!

I bought the tickets from Groupon, which was slightly cheaper, and expected to spend 3-4 hours there. We arrived around 11 a.m. and were able to walk through the entrance quickly. We had a lot of fun with the Mission: Sketch exhibit, where you can color your own rocket and send it flying into space on a projector screen. They also offer off-site tram tours. When we got there, all the tours were fully booked, except for the Saturn V rocket. Seeing it in person was surreal. It's enormous! Highly recommended!

I purchase a friends and family thinking whenever fam visits we can take them on tours and not have to worry about lines etc. They don't make it clear that you have to be here basically when it opens to even get a spot on the tram tours. They were all booked by the time we got here at noon. Major fail. We took the rocket one which is generic and runs every 20 mins. Used a member entrance that bypassed the basic longer line. On the way back this was not the case and now we are stuck here with over 200 hundred people trying to head back and our day is shot. This part is for the food lab. It closed at 3pm on a Saturday. This place is so chaotic and such a mess. Seriously need to get their act together. I don't know how anyone enjoys themselves here. Feel bad for people out of state who only have a day. At least we can come back but definitely not renewing now.
