    Dirty exhibits
    S O.

    This place has great potential but currently misses the mark. We were the first ones in yet areas were untidy or flat out dirty. Several broken things. Other than the person that checked us in I never saw anyone that worked there. Someone please put some effort into making this place as good as it could be rather than the disappointment it is.

    I took my 8 year old here to play, and he absolutely loved it. You can learn about germs, human body, insects and how gravity work. We came around 11am on a snow day so it was very really empty. My son loved the bubble station best, we stayed around 2 hours before going next door to the video game museum.

    Our family just loves this place. With rotating exhibits, they always know how to keep it fresh, fun, and exciting! One of my favorite features is the fact that it's all enclosed. There's only one obvious exit, so I'm not worrying about one of my 5 children running off and leaving the building. I also love how engaging and fun each station is! Our family was there for two hours and the kids still had a hard time leaving. Also, with these hot Texas summers, indoor activities are ALWAYS welcome. They even host birthday parties and conduct super fun science experiments during the celebration! Looking forward to coming back. Sci-tech will be a favorite in our household for a LONG time.

    I can understand the less than flattering reviews by other yelpers. Though for me what mattered is how much fun my daughter was having. And she had a fun time. Word of warning: Don't pay $2 for the hurricane contraption. As we walked past it there was a toddler inside with dad and friends outside chuckling. After a closer look I see the reason for the chuckles...Thought I would never see a WTF look on a toddlers face. But, oh boy, there it was, the look on his face. Wish I had snapped a photo. Anyway, my kid seeing someone in there of course wants to do it too (She can't recognize WTF looks yet). I pay $2 (feel like a chump) then we enter the hurricane tunnel thingy. Now a hurricane tunnel sounds exciting right. No, it's not. For 30'seconds or so you have air blown on you. That's it. WTF! Other than that, it was ok. Your kids will have fun and may learn something, too.

    Huge bubble fun!!

    My boys love science and this is one of their favorite places in Frisco. Scitech has hands on activities for preschoolers and up. My boys literally spend hours making bubbles, building structures, racing legos, competing in wheelchairs races and playing on the wizard wall. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, they actually take the time to explain the exhibits to the kiddos. The membership isn't expensive and it is totally worth the cost. They also offer camps, birthday parties and field trip opportunities for schools. It's a great place to beat the summer heat and learn something in the process!

    Lots of great things to see and do. It really is a family affair for little ones up to pre-teens to learn. It's fun time learning as well as a great alternative Birthday party location.

    We had an awesome birthday party for my 7 year old today. We had 12 kids and everyone had a blast. The price for the party was great!!! The kids were able to explore the center for 30 minutes then our great party hosts did some cool experiments in the party room. We had a potions party and we made it Harry Potter theme. The kids were amazed with the "magic" potions! After cake and presents, the kids were able to explore and play until the center closed. We will definitely be back and highly recommend. Love this place!!!

    A great place to bring kids for learning while playing with Science and Technology games. Relaxing ambience for the parents. Our kids loved this museum!!

    The bubble station was a lot of fun. There wasn't a whole lot to do. We had higher hopes since we go to the one in Little Rock often.

    This place is ok. From my experience They have a lot of substitutes so there's not a lot of…read moreconsistency in the way the classes are taught since each coach does it differently. I found that a lot of the times they start 2-3 minutes later than scheduled and end a couple minutes earlier so a 45 min class ends up being 35...my daughter has been at other gymnastics classes before and she enjoyed them a lot more. Idk if it's bc this is a huge gym w lots of kids but she just didn't seem to enjoy the classes so I ended up pulling her out.

    This gym is ok. A few takeaways from our experience. Things…read morethat could use a bit of tweeking / improvement 1. All staff where the same colored shirts on the same day, so there is an identifiable uniform. Just as cheer wears a certian uniform, socks, shoes, bows etc. So they can be identified and show as a team. (Have different shirts for customers to buy vs the same as staff) 2. *Consistency* in how a class is taught when you have multiple instructors (different one each week) is key for many! (Example: warm up the same, next exercise/apparatuse the same and how the present, explain and demonstrate, and so on) -When there is so much variation students tend to get confused. 3. Show the student how to do the exercise, do not just mark it, as many do not have an idea. Example Cartwheel - show a cartwheel, explain a cartwheel, then help student do cartwheel (just like you do a routine marked or full out, show full out!) 4. When classes are going on, random gym kids are wondering the floor and getting in the way of others. This is a safety hazard and rude to the ones participating in a class. 5. Staff should not be allowed phone use (or even on the mat) during a teaching of a class. 6. Staff greets as one walks in, Hospitality goes a long way in a competitive market (vs talking to friends) Overall kids enjoyed, instructors are nice, however had no big take aways or building on skills. We will be looking for another gym to try.

    My daughter had enrolled in a group music class at Frisco School of Music and Performing Arts and…read morehad already begun attending when we were unexpectedly told the class was canceled due to "low enrollment" -- a requirement that was never disclosed directly in communications before enrollment. When I reached out asking for a fair resolution (such as continuing the class, converting to private/semi-private at the same rate, or receiving a refund), owner Chris Duncan responded by removing my daughter from all of her classes, including the ballet class she was also enrolled in and very much enjoyed. There was no mention of any policy violation or behavioral issue--simply removal following my inquiry. This action caused real emotional distress for my daughter. She had formed bonds with classmates and the teacher, was excited for ballet each week, and had even laid out her ballet outfit ahead of class. Having everything abruptly taken away left her confused and upset, repeatedly asking why she couldn't return to class. I reviewed all enrollment paperwork and found no clause allowing cancellation mid-term for low enrollment, nor any provision allowing the removal of a student from unrelated classes for raising concerns. We were hoping for a nurturing, transparent, and supportive learning experience. Instead, the decision by Chris Duncan following our request for resolution has left us deeply disappointed. I urge other parents to get all cancellation and enrollment terms clearly stated in writing before enrolling.

    I called a dozen ballet studios before deciding on FSMPA. They had the best rate (5% off yearly…read moremembership paid up front), no costume fee for the recital (what do we do with $100 ballet attire anyway?), and they offer many other activities from music to arts to performing arts. Well, you get what you pay for. No glitz, no glam, no glitter about this place. Inconsistency with instructors (three in a year), curriculum, and award system (tokens for prizes given out with the first instructor but not the other two). We viewed the class on a TV screen but got to go into the studio once every other month to see them dance in person. The studio was always frigid (65 degrees) through the winter and summer time. I understand these girls are working up a sweat but they all came down with cold arms and hands. As for the recital, it was short and sweet. All classes (about seven classes with 10 girls in each) arrived early to get dressed. They all walked on stage and danced together. Then, each class did their own dance. At the end, they all got back on stage and did a final dance. Most other ballet studios have each class doing three individual routines. Depending on how long you want to stick around, I didn't mind this setup. The staff are mostly amicable. Shout out to Ms. Amanda for challenging the girls with difficult moves and also having lots of patience dealing with a bunch of girls with short attention spans.
