😠 Seems like it’s been closed forever…. Almost like someone might have come in, spent 1.5 months doing nothing but cry and then decided to fire all the dedicated staff and then just let the building fall to ruin. Sad to lose such a wonderful place. R.I.P SciTech. People often mention kids,

    My 9 year old son loved this place. Every exhibit was open for use. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We’ll defiantly be back!

    It’s fine. Best for kids age 6-9. They have a small area for ages 0-5. Many of the exhibits didn’t work and wasn’t very clean. Could have used more staff. Your money is better spent at the Naperville Children’s Museum.

    This place is a hidden gem. It is not over the top and cannot be compared to the large Chicago museums. It does have a lot of hands on science activities. The staff are engaging and also very knowledgeable. There are three floors worth of science to explore and during the summer an outside area too. They do a fantastic job setting up special events such as Non Years Eve and the Easter Egg Drop. This is a great days out if your looking for something educational and different for kids!

    Great 3 level space for different activities but some need to be fixed or updated.

    My granddaughter had a blast! We were surprised how fast three hours passed! I took my two sons when they were kids, too. They loved it then. Staff was friendly. If an exhibit is not working tell them. More than likely exploring little fingers have explored too far and turned it off! 😀 If you see something is unplugged, plug it in! Scitech is not a glossy, pristine, untouchable museum; it's a nice, comfortable and very touchable, fun place. If your child isn't interested in the explanation for each exhibit, then just let them play and learn. Of course, you cannot bring your coffee in with you! We parked right in front on the street and there is parking on the east side of the building. Have fun! And we'll be back!

    Hidden Gem! Was surprised at not only the number of exhibits, but the way each explained what it did and why! There are lots of things for kids to touch, so bring some hand sanitizer. We spent an hour there and that was not nearly enough!

    We just had our daughter’s birthday party at SciTech today. It was such a fun day! The staff are so sweet helpful, and scheduled the whole party so that the kids had fun activities to do. They accommodated our large party and we’re so quick to assist us in whatever we needed. The exhibits and activities at the museum are so cool and informative. We will definitely be back to visit and highly recommend having kids birthday parties here! It was honestly a blast!
