    Be sure to check out the planetarium schedule. Shows are $5 and they have an awesome 6 digital projector setup to really create a great view.

    Save the bubble tables and spray station for when you are visiting outdoor exhibits. Kids will surely get sudsy and wet! Then stay outside to dry off in the sun!

    The Ecotarium has fun things for children of all ages. The trails are great in the warmer weather.

    The otters are my kids favorites. If you bring a water bottle (or other object) and hold it up to the glass, the otters will sometimes chase it. Fun if they do.
