Visited during the holidays, with my husband and kid, and looked at the reviews before we went. Was excited to see all the different activities they have and the science experiments to go along. Our kid had a blast and is still talking about it! The only thing we didn't love is that the space is small, and there was often not room for us parents to be involved or even sit back and watch, and not really any places to sit. The tables for some of the activities were also adult height and which meant a lot of kids were either having to climb up on stools or be held up. It seemed to me that they could have had fewer activities to give the activities they have more space for kids and parents. But, again, the most important part is that the kid had fun. read more

This is a great place to take the kids. Especially when the weather isn't great. The staff is incredibly friendly and the kids have a blast. I do wish there were more staff so there could be one at each activity to try and bring some kind of order to the chaos. When they are busy there are A LOT of kids running around and not all parents pay attention, and things can get a little nuts. I think it would also be helpful to have them there to encourage the kids to give new things a try and show them how to do it. I of course will do this myself, but some stations even I was unsure about read more

What a great space for creativity and science to flourish together! The venue is on the smaller side, so be sure to take your time with each station. If my kiddos were younger we would have been here all day. My girls were right at the edge of it not being enough. (10 and 11) However, they throughly enjoyed many of the stations particularly the water table. Definitely worth a stop in if you set your expectations correctly. read more

Great little spot for the kids in Spokane. I would say it's probably good for up to 6th graders not passed that. Our 7 & 10 year olds had a lot of fun. It's got a lot of little STEM building activities that really engaged the kids more than a typical science museum display. The staff were super friendly even by kids science center. One of the staff took the time to talk to us at great length and let us interact with the bearded lizard. Rating five stars, as it gets a one star bonus as it was definitely worth $10 per person admission. The only thing better science value for kids are the free museums in London. read more

This is a small children's science center with a bit of everything and on one floor. My kiddos ages 6-13 as well as the adults in our party enjoyed 90 minutes of learning, play, and fun. We used our science center membership reciprocal program for free admission. Highlights of our visit: the money exhibit, live snake and turtles, magnets, air pressure rockets, spinning disc, static electricity, cardboard blocks, building cardboard race cars, and the stop motion movie making. It is a small but mighty place that's well worth a stop if in the city. Plus it's right next to the Spokane Falls, River Park Square Mall, and Riverside Park. So much to do all in one place! read more

We spent a couple of hours here on a weekend morning. It was very crowded and the $10 a person ticket price for everyone over the age of 1 seemed a little high. Street parking was super limited and hard to find unless you wanted to go into the mall parking garage. The activities were interactive and fun but overall Mobius Discovery Center didn't seem worth the price or hassle of parking. We won't be in a rush to return. read more

I'm glad Spokane has some form of discovery/science center, it's really small though and there aren't any real "exhibits" to speak of. I wish the city would put some funding into more things for kids. read more

Plenty of things to keep a toddler entertained. We attended their Saturday special event for the month and we loved seeing the bees and trying different types of honey. We will definitely return. It is smaller than other children's museums I have visited but none the less worth the stop. Probably best for children under 10/11. We also love walking to the playgrounds at Riverfront park after playing at the discovery center. read more

This place is packed with fun and educational activities for all ages - there are interactive exhibits that let you explore science, technology, engineering, art, and math; a robotics lab featuring cutting-edge technology; an impressive 3D printing studio; various workshops ranging from coding to paper engineering; and a variety of seasonal events that bring everyone in the community together. We have been members for years and our kids are always eager to come back for more. read more

Low-effort science stations, light on the science even when considering the target age range. Many of the stations need a lot of repairs because they are in various states of broken. Extremely, ridiculously expensive. Employees were high school dropouts as far as I could tell. They couldn't answer any questions the kids asked with any sort of knowledge behind the answers. Kids did have fun which is the only reason they got 2 stars. It is about what you expect from Spokane. read more

Came here while visiting Spokane and the kids had a great time. Spent about 3 hours there and they would have wanted to stay longer. At $10 per person I felt it was a decent price for something they could spend all day doing. Kids would love to come back next time we're in town. read more

Great place to visit with the young kids! We have an annual pass and it's TOTALLY worth it. Have 5 and 2 year old boys that LOVE it! They want to go back every after 2-3 hours there. Probably go here once every week or two. They have rotating science exhibits that the kids like to play with so there's lots of new things to explore. Staff has always been friendly and courteous, they moved from the mall location during COVID and now have combined the older kids and younger kids stuff into one location. Not sure how I felt about this at first, but I actually LOVE it because it's more bang for your buck now and attracts more young children of a larger age range because there's something to do for everyone--even adults! If you ask staff often times they'll help you out to know how to better utilize the exhibits too. May be small, but it's packed full of fun and learning! read more

We haven't been to Mobius in a few years and in that time they moved both of their locations into this one. I don't recommend this for any kids older than 5 or 6 and maybe that is what it's geared for and I just didn't realize. It has some interactive toys but my 7 year old lost interest in the first 15 minutes. read more

This place is fantastic! When it's hot and you need somewhere to take your kid... look no further.

I used to love bringing my kids here even though it's kind of spendy for what you get, but since they combined both sections into one it's so small. We used to mostly stay at the mall part because it was good for little kids and it was big, but I just don't think it's worth the money anymore. read more

This was my first time at the new Mobius Science Center and it was awesome. I don't know who had more fun.....the adults or the kids. The reptile section is actually pretty cool. One of the lizards gave us a show but I really do think he was looking at his reflection and agreeing he was awesome. Great place to play around with the kids but get there early because it can get crowded and the wait to play can be long. Give it a go.....you will not be disappointed. read more

I am truly happy with a place as hands on as Mobius is. My child has loved this place since he was 2 and we have the yearly pass. He gets to be creative and loud and rambunctious and all the other moms get to be checking their watches for happy hour. But they LOVE it. The best thing for me as a mom is the place is always changing. The arts and crafts are always different, the holidays and birthdays are always top notch and the staff is super friendly and helpful. The hands on things are incredible. I work a lot, some people judge but whatever my kid is happy and when I get to spend this time with him and see his face light up and know that he treasures this time just as much as I do, it's the little things. read more

Went here as an assignment for a college class but really it is geared toward the 8-12 y/o crowd. Sure we found some things of interest but most adults will find it not worth the money. However, if you have kids in that younger group this will be a pretty fun stop. There are roughly 20 activity 'stations' to do some hands on learning and I understand they also cater to school trips. If you plan on taking one child..don't. Have them at least bring a friend as many of the stations are set up for two. read more

We love Mobius! Our little one goes with his nanny at least once a week and we take him at least once a month. Good place to build their immune system, friendships and a sense of fascination. FUN FACT! If you're a member you have access to hundreds of other museums throughout the country! read more

The rudest employee made our entire experience terrible. She was demeaning and wouldn't leave us alone for some reason. I will not go back to this business. read more

Great place to bring older kids! We brought our 2.5 year old and he still had a blast with all the different sections. And a bonus is that with the admission, you can go to the children's museum across the street. There are fun puzzles, animal tanks, and fun activities. read more

I went as a chaperone on my third graders field trip. It was a different experience than just taking the kids to explore/have fun. Much more organized and I understand why ha ha! Loved the staff! They were super helpful and friendly! Even was able to ask them about parking and other things around the area. Was a bit smaller than I expected and we went during the snake exhibit which was interesting but not really my cup of tea. Overall it was fun, clean, the staff was impressive! Will be going back soon with my 1st grader and 3rd grader, but I could see older kids having fun there too! read more

First time visiting, took a 6, 8, and 10 year old. They loved it. We stayed for almost 2 hours. We will definitely be back. I hope they update or rotate their exhibits, because if they don't, it will get old on our next visit. It was a little small, but they had lots of stuff to do, so it didn't feel that crowded. read more

Many exhibits closed for repair. Was told it was appropriate for us seniors. Definitely geared for the 8 year old group. Don't waste your money or time. read more

I went here to get extra credit for my Climate change class. This pace was incredible. And the best part, I wouldn't have got half the experience that I did if it weren't for the knowledgeable and kind people that work there. They made sure we knew what the different stations were. They actually took care of there reptiles and knew what they needed which is extremely amazing. I would recommend the Mobius Science Center to anybody. It's a great place and i give them a thousand thumbs up!! read more

What a fun way to learn about science! The younger kids actually get to experience it before they study it in the books! Kids have a blast every time we go, it's clean, roomy and has different stations that the kids can move to and from, no boring science here! read more

Mobius Discovery Center - What a fun way to study aerodynamics! - Children's Museums Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Exhibits were bare, supplies had not been replenished. Example-- build a paper airplane, no paper. Cut a paper cup & fly it, no cups. Color a picture, no coloring pages left. Even the anatomical puzzle exhibits of the heart, lungs etc., are missing all the pieces. Had to explain to the kids that that's not actually what a heart looks like, that's a cross section and all the top pieces of the heart are missing, which would allow us to see what a heart really looks like. Very disappointed at spending $40 on a family outing here. My advice-- go elsewhere, it's a waste of money. This place is a tourist trap, not a science museum for kids/fams. Don't waste your money. read more

A disappointment overall. Neat location, just mediocre as an attraction. The first problem is the small size of the facility, so there really wasn't much for the kids to explore. The bigger issue, however, is the poor quality of the exhibits and activities. Many of the stations did not work well and even fewer seemed to have a discernible objective or point behind the activity. The stations were an odd mishmash of local history, science, animal displays and arts and crafts, none of which really made sense together. We've been to many other kid-focused museums and understand how difficult it is to achieve balance of purposeful activity across a broad age range of children. My kids were kept busy for a couple of hours, but when I asked them about it later, they didn't think it was very fun and none wanted to go again. The Mobius needs a revamp and should look to the Explora Science Center in Albuquerque as an example of what to emulate. As it is, I can't recommend it and it certainly doesn't justify the admission price. read more

Very nice. Small and the adults were done quickly but the kids loved it. Worth seeing once. The kids really had a great time.
