buffalo museum of science

I have lived in Western NY my whole life and don't remember ever going here until now. I went with my brother, niece and nephew (ages 6 and 3) for a winter's day outing. The kids loved it and I also found it very enjoyable. The Curious George exhibit was very cute and the museum overall has lots of hands on exhibits for kids as well as the expected dinosaur fossils and ancient artifacts. It's not a huge museum but big enough and has 4 floors. The admission price isn't bad and if you have AAA, you will save $1 on each person. The gift shop is overpriced, the restaurant wasn't. Overall, a fun way to spend the day, the kids loved it. There was a lot more for kids than I thought, which was nice.

A lot of installations about any science. Physics, biology, bugs, history, prehistory, space, you name it. I went there on a Sunday alone, for a geek like me it was a well spent 3h. With kids I would have spent a lot more. The place is really well geared towards kids of all ages.If I have to complain, it will be 2 things:1. The broken installations here and there2. The body room is all in psi, miles, inches, cups and gallons. Given the young attendance, if the country is ever going to join the rest of the world in the SI system of units, it has to start in a place like this (engineer mode).

Took the kids here today to see a Curious George exhibit - great for the younger set - lots of hands-on things to do all through the museum - a fun day

Our children had a great time at this museum. The admission was very reasonable for a family of 4. There are many interactive exhibits, that teaches the kids about science in a fun way. There was a volunteer near the mastodon skeleton who educated the kids on different fossils. He was knowledgeable and had there attention during his presentation. This place has a little bit of everything dinosaurs, space exhibits, cultural artifacts, weather stations, etc. The museum of science is a great place to check out if you are in the Buffalo area.

I went with my daughter & 2 children & was so glad I read the reviews before me. This is not the largest museum by any means but the kids did not want to leave. They can build a snowflake model, experience hurricane or tornado winds, learn about the planet's etc. There was a bug exhibit where workers answered their questions while holding the tarantula or cockroach. A pelt exhibit where they could feel & learn about animal pelts such as Polar Bear, Deer, Fox was excellent. The theatre provide a 3D movie about bugs which they loved. We stayed for 5 hours & had a great time. I saw older kids having a great time in interactive room.

We had a great time at the mummies of the world exhibit. They had an exspensive collection of specimens. It was great for adults and children and the price was reasonable. Not a massive museum but a great way to spend an afternoon!

For my birthday, my husband and I went to the museum. We're in our late 20s/early 30s and we had such FUN! All of the exhibits were really well done and I love the interactive features. Great photo opportunities and we both learned a lot. We loved the heart rate game, experiencing the weather, shutterbugs (though I only got one of the photos in my email and it took a few days), and the special Mummies exhibit we paid extra to see.We went on a Sunday morning over the summer and we arrived as the museum opened. We spent a few hours and it started to get busy, but not overly so. We were able to wander and not be crowded. This would be a great place to take visitors to the area!

My young kids love Buffalo museum of science. It's their favorite place to visit in Buffalo.Parents may agree with the opinion that small but decent museum is the best place for both kids and parents. This place is for young kids enough to enjoy for more than 2 hours. If you have annual family membership of science museum in your region. You can get free admission except the members of Ontario science museum. It's not a big and fancy science museum like those in big cities but a great place where a young kids can enjoy enough.
