Cute little “museum” with lots of play options for kids of all ages. It’s a bit older and some items were damaged and unusable but we still spent 4+ hours there and had a great time. The staff was great very friendly and welcoming. The animal show was fun and gave the opportunity to get up close and personal with some cute critters.

I'm very disappointed. Multiple exhibits were not functional or not open. What was open was very limited, not a very large facility. Multiple areas were just in absolute dissarray. We drove 40 minutes to get here, and we spent maybe 30 minutes to do everything. Their snack house was very overpriced. For 3 "chicken fingers" cost $8. There is outdoor covered seating to eat, but due to rain, they weren't wiping anything down, so it was just sitting on the floor in a hallway to eat. The tickets are $15 a person, no matter the age, shouldn't be over $10 with how little there is to do. Would not recommend...

Unlike some reviews I found this place so fascinating and plenty of things for my six year old to do! Interesting Ft. Myers history, artifacts, reptile and sea exhibits, a science presentation and movies played in the big theater. My daughter was too frightened of the dinosaur movie as well other children so we left early. We spent 2.5 hours here before we had to leave for the airport...a must see in the area!

A delightful little museum, I've been there a couple times now. It's about $20 for adults although they do have some discounted rates for EBT card holders. It's not a very big museum and most of what's displayed can all be seen in about 2 hours. They have some great hands on exhibits that kids will love. Super friendly staff. Honestly kids or no kids it's not a bad way to spend a couple hours on a hot SWFL day.

We really enjoyed our day here at the museum. The staff is exceptionally nice and helpful. One of our favorite things was the feeding and petting of sting rays (they don’t sting!). There is a cool globe shaped screen called “Science on a Sphere” that illustrates climate, airliner flights, hurricanes, etc, that is intriguing. We watched 3 short 3D movies that were interesting. There is so much for kids and teenagers. They do not have a cafe, but do have a nice gift shop

An interesting and educational place for kids and adults. Since my last visit with the kids a lot of activities were changed. The main room has changed into a cosmos adventure with computer game interaction. The upstairs was also changed and has information about the weather, planets, electricity etc. They added more activities outside and live shows. It definitely worth checking it out. We paid only $15 per person and it was definitely worth it.

Highly recommend this place! It's very interactive and really fun for the family or for a couple on a date! All the staff were really nice and knowledgeable. Although the building is a historic location they have a lot of high tech exhibits and displays like science on a sphere (which they use at Kennedy Space Center, an interactive topography table, a waterways simulator, and a whole room of Space Simulation games. An absolute gem in southwest Florida!

It was interesting. Very small however - not many exhibits. I paid $10.00 to get in because the movies weren’t running and the touch tank was not installed. Normal price is $19.50.

We went to see Clyde Butcher’s photography exhibit on Cuba which was super and had the extra thrill of having this educational museum to ourselves. We very much enjoyed the personalized presentation on the planets by the nice young man in charge of teaching. They have a very good exhibit on the Calusa Native people. The aquarium area is fun and petting the stingrays great for kids and adults. The lady at the registration desk was so very nice and helpful. Check out the section on hurricanes...including the wind tunnel‼️

Really fun place to come especially for the kids. The touch tanks are pretty cool, you can pet sting rays ect. The staff was exceptional and knowledgeable and all around nice. We had a great time here and I would suggest to anyone that has not been here already to come check them out, definitely worth it!

overall it was fun but somethings werent working, missing elements and the sphere presentation needs someone better able to answer questions

This place is really fun. Inside and outside stuff to do. Very kid friendly and the staff is wonderful. Emily put on an amazing science experiment show, the kids loved!

I agree with other reviews that mentioned the 3D experience having low quality. I somehow still found the movies enjoyable. The other experiences were really fun. The Fossil finding was very fun ( extra cost at gift shop). It was cool seeing the fossils appear from the water.

We had an amazing experience here! There is so much history and so many different things to do here. There is a huge room for kids play. They had things like balls that you could roll down different tracks and making your own roller coasters. They had a section for you to be your own news reporter, make a lightning storm, touch a cloud and find anywhere in the world using Google maps. My kids ages 2 and 10 as well as myself had a great time. They do have a cafe that you can order food from and eat outside at their picnic tables either in the shade or in the sun. Our favorite thing there were the whisper dishes that were found outside by the fish pond. Make sure you visit after you feed the fish in the turtles whisper through the ring and the sound will bounce off of the big satellite dishes behind it, it was super cool to play phone tag through them. They have a large theater that shows 3D movies, we were able to see two different movies the day we were there, and recommend titanosaur, both were absolutely great. They had a large section that showed the Old Town Fort Myers, it was cool to see the replicas and the history of the town. There was a large Sputnik room that gave history and also upon walking up to the building there is a 911 memorial that has a timeline of events. It was cool to walk with the kids and tell them what I remembered from that day. There is also a gift shop at the front of the store, of course you have to walk through it to buy your tickets and for entry! LOL. We recommend the hurricane simulator!!! All in all a great place to spend a day with the family.

Great place!!! My son spent almost all day looking at the exhibits and playing at the interactive ones. Definitely coming again.

This is such a fun, informative place. I went with a 12 & 7 year old. We all learned something. We enjoyed the exhibits. The shows are boring and I'd recommend an update with more kid friendly options. But it's still a great science center! You can see everything in a couple hours.

We needed somewhere to kill time in between checking out of our hotel and heading to the airport for our evening flight. We took our 2.5 year old here and we all had a great time! There was a lot to keep her entertained. She really liked seeing different animals and fish, and the hands on activity area.

Had a nice time at the IMAG and thought the price was decent. They seem to be constructing a new area on the first floor so might return to see what they did there. I thought the interactive globe on the second floor was fun to look at. The animals seem well cared for and the ship in their big tank was really cool to look at.

Awesome place to visit with children. Plus really good food at the snack house. Best BLT ever. Very reasonable entry fee and lovely staff we will definitely go back

It is a great facility if you only plan on going once and don’t have children under 5 their kids zone is shut down the displays haven’t changed in over a year and it was not worth getting a membership. I requested a refund or an extension since for 10 of my 12 month membership offered nothing that I had been told when signing up. I understand covid has made things difficult but if you can’t provide a service you should offer fair I compensation to for what they can’t provide.

I had an incredible time visiting IMAG. I spent the day with family here and can't wait to go back. Great interactive displays and informative guides available to answer all of your questions. Make time in your vacation for this one. #lovefl #visitflorida #IMAG #nicoonthescene Thanks Matt 💃

We love this place!! A little pricey but we're going to invest in a membership which would give us a significant discount for a year. So much for the kids to do including live animal shows and a touch tank. Educational and fun for everyone.

The exhibits were interactive and interesting for our 3 year old!!! It was really cool to "fly" a spaceship and touch a stingray!!! We just thought the place was a little small....they did have one exhibit area under construction...if you're in Ft. Myers and need something to do with kids this is a pretty interesting place to check out!!!

Great place to bring the kids. Good value and a nice change from usual Florida activities.

Hadn't been to Imag in years. Many exhibits have been changed out but are no better or more interesting than what they had before. I liked the new path outside, but the large alligators are gone. The whisper dishes were new since the last time I was there but one didn't "project" the other voice so must have gotten out of alignment somehow. I liked the big tortoise. Live animal show was enjoyable. Just hitting their 25th anniversary and feels a bit run down. Not sure I like the mix of the history and science (used to be just science). Feels more like a kid's play area than a science center.

Good place for children. Worth the money. Worth going for summer fun

We went here to have a great day! My son is almost 3, so I didn't know if he would enjoy it as much. He had an amazing time. 👏 we will have to go back when the place wasn't so crowded, and I'm sure it would have been an even more amazing time. The hands on activities were great for him!

When I took my Grandson a little over 2 years ago he loved this place. It was so much fun and lots to do. We went twice he enjoyed it so much. Took my Granddaughter on Monday and was so disappointed. Especially for the price. They took away the cool stuff the was on the first floor and a lot of the hands on stuff that was upstairs. A lot of the stuff they did have didn't work.. just very disappointing.

I am terribly disappointed. I used to live here as a child and would visit this place almost weekly and loved and adored it. Some of my most treasured memories were there as a kid. We were here this week on vacation and I told my husband our 7 year old would have a blast. $54 for the 3 of us and there is absolutely nothing there. She gave us a map of the place when you can see the whole thing in your eyesight. Please don’t waste your money or your time. She said no refunds but I’m disputing with my bank. I’m refusing to pay for something that sucked. If you want to charge that much, put better stuff in there.

Went with grandkids aged 2 & 5. They both had great fun with the older one able to get quite a lot out of the exhibits. Would definitely recommend.

Small gem of a museum. We visited with 2 kids aged 10 and 12 and 4 adults. The center had the kids attention for a solid 3+ hours, we could have stayed longer but we were rushed on time. It had enough for the adults to keep engaged but definitely geared at kids. The touch tank for the stingrays was great, they had a reptile/aquarium section and several live shows, one with animals. We didn't stay for the movies. Outdoors I wish they had a bigger water play table, as it was quite busy with little ones but was still a great thing for the older kids. Their main area had a ton of hands on activities which the kids enjoyed. On a busy day I could see how it might be difficult to enjoy the center, but on a weekday it gave us a perfect escape from the heat during our vacation.

Love all building area for the kids! They're always changing things up! Love the new stingray aquarium! Great place to hangout especially for homeschooling.

Fun place for the kids and adults. Lots to learn and see and very hands on. Spent lots of time in the theater as they have many different showings both normal and some in 3D. Hands on aquarium right inside the entrance was pretty cool for us since we live in a landlocked state. Many things to learn about ocean life. Would definitely recommend.

Our kids (the oldest is 8) enjoyed the hands-on room. The touch tank was also a favorite, but is small compared to others we have experienced. The entire place needs a refresh (paint, signage, and several exhibits). The virtual reality exhibit is only open a few times a day. There were exhibits that had no real explanation at all. Everyone there was polite and helpful as needed. Our in-laws got in for free with a reciprocal membership from another museum. We drove up from Marco Island; I can’t honestly say that it was worth the trip.

Great educational place for a indoors activity for the family $15 adults $10.00 children The children loved it ages 4,5 we spent three hours and it was perfect

Great time for all ages! I thought I'd be in the baby/toddler area most of the day but we didn't even go in there. Our 2 year old could do everything and our 14 year old had just as much fun!

This place had so much for my children to do it was incredible! My kids are almost 8 and 10 and I thought they would be bored... Boy was I ever wrong!! We for there around 2pm and I was almost dragging them out around 430 because I was hungry! They had a lot to do there and the energy spot seemed to be the favorite of all of us. They even do military discounts and they let our party of five in free because of a special promotion they had for military!

Great place to visit. It is a bit expensive but worth it. The kids not only had fun but learned a lot as well. They have interactive science shows, a small aquarium, and a large selection of video game type things like virtual reality and space simulators.

Came from NJ this place was super cool and Sara was the bestttt! Super informative and awesome!!

Great place to take the kiddos. They had a blast with the various exhibits.

My family had so much fun. Even our 17 year old was playing with the exhibits. The staff was so friendly and even helped with local food and dessert recommendations!

Great little science museum with tons of interactive elements. Kids loved the bed of nails and moon base exhibit. But the interaction with the reptile keeper was the best part. Kelly was our volunteer guide and she was absolutely fantastic.

Awesome place to visit with kids. The 3D shows are great along with the live animal talk. The stingray exhibition was fantastic as well. Well worth the Money. You can easily spend a few hours here! Make sure you bring quarters to feed the turtles and the koi fish in the back pond!

Awesome place lady at the front desk was supper nice supper fun.

I liked the different exhibits, the staff was friendly.

Expensive but cool

Great time with the kiddos!

Great experience and fun for the whole family!

Really fun to go with friends or kids

Place is clean staff is walking around cleaning stations for the kids (and adults) that want to interact with the learning material. Masks are encouraged, but not mandatory.

It's ok.

Terrible

take the kids. Very family feeling with the staff. Nice team they have

It was really fun doing online learning there.

All updated activities and computer driven displays. It doesn't have any of the old "hands on" things the old center had.

Great place for kids and adults. Hands on learning and cool critters.

It was interesting

They have really outdid themselves with revamping the place. new exhibits and outdoor area with lots to do. Keeping the place sanitized.

Need to update some things really nothing for the kids to do at the water activities they need to replace stuff , with the dino dig also nothing to do , video games need way updated .. loved looking at the live animals the most shows not very interesting

nice place to visit.

Had ages 3-13 year olds and they had fun. It's a fair price for the fun we had.

We really enjoyed the exhibits

This place was alright. Not as cool as I had hoped. The aquarium area was neat with the fish. The space zone was pretty big , but it was the same thing- there were like 20 of the space "game". The upstairs had a pretty neat giant globe and they explain all the planets which was cool. But i did,honestly think thst the price of admission was too high for what you got. My 9 year old was satisfied with the visit, so if you have kids that age it is geared alot towards that age

Really cute and informative, Emily gave us such fun tour of reptiles, very knowledgeable!

Because they would tell u stuff about space and history

Very cool place but very disappointing that half the exhibit is closed due to the Coronavirus. Still paid full price. Otherwise I'd gave it 5 stars.

Great place.

Fun for kids

They're doing a great job in cleaning and disinfecting between customers and lots of activities for the kids!

The front desk is so nice there is so many exhibits so many different things to do there's upstairs downstairs and outside 5. out of 5 stars highly recommended

We had a fun time visiting. Good family time.

Last year, on vacation, our visit broke up the tourist feel. Kids & teens found some hands on experiences to enhance things already learned. The woman in the Entry helped me find the Perfect gift to send to another grandchild who has enjoyed the gift very much. Good Experience!

Half of the exhibits weren’t working. The animal exhibits were nice. Waste of money.

Really nice place. My grandson loved it. I will go back. They are adding a new attraction too.

Fun for kids of all ages

Lots of things to see and do with kids! Tickets are 15 per adult and and 10 per child. 2 and under get in free. They play movies about 3 times . There are lots of reptiles and amphibians to see. A historic museum , a virtual reality game for children to play, and a creative playground where even the adults will want to play!

Kind of small but my son had a great time learning and exploring.

Pricey with little to no museum guidance to exhibits and interactive stations. Seems to be guided by young teen volunteers with little to no knowledge of subject matter.

Went for my bfs birthday, very small but still had a few great things to see! Got to pet a beaded dragon and stingrays. Just wish it had more.

Fantastic time knowledge staff enjoyed the 4 hours we spent

My 2 year old loved it!

Although it is a little expensive this place is great for kids , the way things are set up for kids to learn are enticing to the wee ones and a lot of cool stuff to learn. The staff is very knowledgeable and really seem to enjoy what they are doing. Very patient with all the lil kids. Also , they are very well marked for covid in that they have plenty of stations for hand sanitizer and staff cleans quite a bit.

Wondered if they were open so I called to see All I got was a recording that didn't help. They said to leave a number which I did but they never returned the call. Hey, if you want customers.... We went anyhow but it was slightly disappointing Part aquarium, part science center, part kids museum. Very small place but nice place to kill an hour

Really enjoyed the experience. Emily and Anna were amazing and really made the experience worth it!

Employee very helpfull and knowledgeable TC at the snack bar was great. Lots of fun Hands-On things to do and see.

The museum was great. Kids loved all the hands-on experiences. Thank you all who created the exhibits. 3D movie quality should be better.

The IMAG Science and History Center was a very pleasant experience! Lots to do and see....lots of interactive displays.....live demonstrations. I highly recommend a visit!

My grandson enjoyed it

Great staff, learned a lot and the kids had fun.

(Translated by Google) Super entertaining, and very educational for children, we loved it (Original) Super entretenido, y muy educativo para los niños, nos encanto

Just a real fun place.

So fun interactive time and and great memories.

Terrible. The kids wanted to go home after 1 hour. There was so little for them to do they said it was lame.

An awesome place for kids and their keepers!

My 8 and 4 year old loved it here. The interactive exhibits kept them entertained and there was plenty for them to learn from as well. They particularly loved the touch tanks and learning about the various creatures, the outside water play area with boats and pieces to build dams and levers to control water flow, the archeological dig area, complete with dress up vests and tools, and the giant foam block pit.

Very good as t attracting the kids attention

Nice place

Great place to take the family of all ages!

My grandson loves to go there. He finds new things all the time

Fun and educational! From being on green screen, touching clouds, animal exhibits and flight simulators. Definitely a cool place.

Feels great to be a kid again :)

Great place to take classes and kids for field trips thanks Imaginarium

Took 4 kids and there was enough to keep them busy for several hours. We did have to visit several activities multiple times in order to stretch out the time in order to feel like we got our monies worth, but the kids did not mind and had a good time. I gave a 3 because it was pricey for a large family and I personally didnt like the large number of activities involving space simulators. The simulators seemed like just another computer game (only larger). I was bringing them to the imaginarium so the could use their imagination and unplug.

Awesome place for lovers of science and local history. Very unique location in this town.

Fun for the whole family no matter the age, we had a gr8 time.

It needs cleaning and more light. Other than that I think that the scientific themes are decent although they could try to exhibit new concepts other than same ones about electricity, the formation of clouds, etc. My grandaughter likes going once in a while since there is no many places like this anywyay

Good place to visit 😊

It's a fun spot with plenty of fun things to do with the children!

Learning made 😎

Lots to do and the kids love it! Always a great time.

My little man and I enjoyed our visit ❣️We had a great learning experience. I loved the food service and the staff that provided us with excellent customer service 😊

Kind of small. Very hands on. They did have people around cleaning non stop. Kids enjoyed themselves. Educational. Not somewhere you can spend the whole day but a few hours.

LOVED IT!!! A must do for anyone with children!! Very fun and takes up a whole day having fun!!!

This place is so much fun and interactive. Great place to bring your children, and it's educational

Great place for kids and pretty good for adults also

Really nice place to visit for all ages. Displays about military, dinosaurs, hands on displays etc. Spend 2 enjoyable hours here.

The IMAG team did an amazing job for my daughter's 10th birthday party! I was completely blown away with the detail, and the actual care they put in to make this experience unbelievable for my daughter. We did the Mad Scientist themed birthday party and it was well above my expectations on how they put everything together. From the moment I walked in, they were so helpful with ever detail of of the event. I will say that this was the best birthday party experience ever. Thank you again for all you did on this occasion. You are my go to place for an amazing experience.

Lots of fun and Interesting things to do and learn, definitely worth it. My kids had a blast.

Good rainy days place to take the kids. Lots of stuff for them to explore and some adult historical stuff for dad.

Great place to visit with kids! You can touch the stingrays, attend a showing with real animals and watch a 3D movie - all for one admission price! Tons of interactive exhibits for kids to enjoy. We spent almost 3 hours here and really enjoyed it. No charge for parking either. You can buy fish food for $1 and feed the large koi and turtles outside.

Great little children’s museum. Dozens of high interest, hands on activities. Our kids loved the giant water table and feeding the fish outside. They also really like the ball and track activity. Their little engineering minds were working hard!

As usual, we had pleasant hours and the kids had a lot of fun. It is recommendable to get the year membership.

Such a great place for my daughter. She loved the wildlife, the play area and the space/weather exhibit. My husband loved it as well. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. We are sad that the 3D movies weren't working. Hopefully next visit it will be.

We had our daughter's birthday party there. It was the best experience ever. We had our money's worth they were so nice and we really didn't have to do anything. We just brought the cake, the took care of everything. Our guest loved it. I would highly recommend

To Small need to update this place. Looks old and not to much to experiment. The only part good was the 2nd floor . The aquarium is small .

My boys love this place we come every time we visit family in Ft Myers. It's a wonderful place for small children my boys are 2 and 5 there is plenty for them to do. It's great for a day or afternoon out of the sun

Clean, beautiful and friendly staff. We used the ASTC pass from our membership and the employee made the experience fast and easy. Their exhibits are great especially since they have many hands on experiences.

We have the ASTC Passport membership and have been to this museum 3 times now. My 4 kids (ages 4-8) love it. They will spend all day building with any of the options in the engineering lab, or the out door water table (which is not always open). The 3D movies don’t really seem 3D, but my kids enjoyed the dinosaur feature and Tornado Alley. The live animals are an exciting attraction for them, as well as the electronic interactive games upstairs. A couple of the exhibits have been “out of order” or “closed” for several months now, which is disappointing, but my kids will easily spend 3-4 hours here and are always bummed when we have to leave. We will come again next time we are in the area.

Tickets are $20 each adult. There is no too mucho to see or do. The structure are in poor conditions, some of the activities were closed. Staff was great tho, super nice and attentive.

It was a cute place for young kids, but I don't think it was worth the money. There was nothing to do outside. The aquarium and small animal room was nice to walk through for maybe 10 minutes. Otherwise, the interactive room provides 30 minutes of entertainment. It is definitely not what it used to be.

Took our 13 yo granddaughter and had a good time. Enjoyed the hands-on exhibits. Sting rays were cool!! Interesting for all of us.

Admission fees not worth the visit. Overrated! $19.50 for adults, over 2 year old is $15. Better off visiting other museums at reasonable lower price Several inter actives not working. Animal shows wasn’t worth attending. They don’t give a receipt for credit charges because they don’t have a printer. Wants your email to send receipt.

Waste of money!! Don’t go, most of the stuff is broken and/or missing things. They charge you almost $20 a person for adults. There are 4 sections to this tiny building. When you walk in you have a big touch tank with 2 sting rays and another thing I have no ide what it was. (Sorry). To the left you have a large fish tank and surrounded by 20little tanks with reptiles in them. To the right of the touch tank you have a open room with a few “activities” in it and like 4 animal bones. Everything feels dirty. 2 of the displays are broken. Then they have a second floor that has weather things in it but there are only 3 things up there and you have to pay additional money in order to play with 2 of them. On the first floor again you walk past the tank and walk out the back door they have 1 water play thing for kids. To the right of that there is another one that is like a “fossil search” with no fossils. And then there is a “garden” that runs along the side of the building. I suppose it’s fine for small children 6 and under.. only because they get entertained just going up and down the stairs. But for 20$ def not worth it. If the price was lower then I wouldn’t be as upset. I paid almost the same price for an actual kids museum in Fort Lauderdale that had 3 floors, almost triple the size and lots of things for the kids. We are just disappointed in the quality and prices.
