The Kirby Science Discovery Center was AMAZING! Our whole group had so much fun and didn’t want to leave! We opted to go to the cafe on 1st floor for lunch. The food was okay and reasonably priced, in the future I’d pack a picnic to eat outside on the picnic tables or walk to a nearby restaurant. The 3rd floor has a mother’s room near the bathrooms which was extremely helpful (although it wasn’t the cleanest).
We saw the US Army band play here — the acoustics and the staff and the facility are all fabulous. Kudos to the community for keeping this beautiful place rolling along.
Overall, very well done with something for everyone! The art galleries were wonderful for adults, and the areas dedicated to kids were amazing! Loves the "water room" and the "prairie storm simulator" especially.
Some exhibits were broken and some of the staff would not return the "hello" I gave them as I walked by. We had a birthday party reservation, which was respectfully priced. Pizza was "eh", but what do you expect. No one checked in on refills, so maybe you only get the three options. I'd go 4.2 out of 5.
