I’m glad we saved this for the last day of our vacation when the weather forecast called for rain, but it would have been really hard to top this. This interactive museum starts off with an optical illusion and then guides you through the world of physics with so many fun options and games. The kids AND adults all had a blast moving from room to room and getting a jolt of excitement when we discovered what the next exhibit was. This is a MUST DO on a rainy day and probably a must do regardless. Just awesome!psudino, Tripadvisor

This was more fun & interesting than I imagined it would be! I have lived here for 16 years, and hiked and walked these mountains a lot, and still learned more from taking this tour! Add to that, the beauty of the area and a really FUN guide, Jeanie Silk was our guide. She will definitely keep you entertained and share info not even those of us that live here know! And don’t forget the “off road” part of the Jeep tour. I was kinda hesitant (yes, I’m in my 60’s) but it was a blast. We were laughing and hanging on… what fun! Cheryl M.
