    If you have kids this would be a great place, however its billed as a Natural History Museum. In fact it's an overgrown indoor playground. Not the place for any serious science exhibits for adults.

    Not much to discover here, at least not for adults. This is more like a playground than a real museum. There is a small aquarium, and lots of other things involving water. Recommended only for those younger than 12.

    Let the kids enjoy it. The younger ones might have some fun.

    The other attractions in Dayton are a lot better.
