    Morrison Planetarium shows were great! Our teenage granddaughters loved the entire experience. Nice to go back to the Steinhart Aquarium after 50 years!

    Fantastic place to take kids. Will entertain and educate all ages. Lots to see so budget 3 to 4 hours (we spent 4 and didn't see a show in the planetarium. Lots of young families with strollers-kids under three are free and memberships for families in the area make it a very reasonable place to visit so lots of nannies and kids and families. Not so cheap for a one time visit but certainly worth the price of admission when you consider you are getting three to four hours of enjoyment. Price breaks if you buy tickets in advance-best prices by purchasing three or more days and picking slower times for entrance. On the other hand, parking nearby that is free is tough to find after 10 am. Check out their website when planning your visit I would warn you away from planning on eating more than snacks there- food is ok but prices in cafe quite high- $11 for one slice of pizza as an example.

    Loved it! Worth the money. My only complaint is the aquarium isn't laid out in a way that makes sense but overall it's good.

    Took my tween and teen kids here hoping to spend the afternoon learning. Unfortunately after paying an astronomical amount for 2 teens, one child and one adult ticket we were greatly let down. While the exhibits are nice they are very small and VERY crowded. We went mid week on a non holiday week and it was jam packed with field trips and out of control kids thing things, screaming, banging on exhibits and overall just ruining any sort of chance to learn. Then just to see the small rainforest exhibit you have to wait in a very long line, and what they don’t warn you is there is only one way out at the top one single elevator. We were stuck in there trying to get out for over 45 minutes while the elevator attendant put as few people as possible in each round. All while sweating to death and listening to groups of field trips scream and yell and swat at the butterflies. We have been to many natural history and science museums around the country and this one is by far our least favorite design wise, price wise and exhibit wise (and the most expensive). Not worth the $$$ for what you get.

    Lots to learn but definitely over priced. The day we went it was crowded 50$ is just a lot for a few hours. Different events were going on. The Aquarium was nice but difficult to read the information on the displays as the lighting is very poor down there. The cafe is overpriced too.
