So many interactive and exhibits to play with. No matter the age you can have a great time. Plan to spend a few hours here, there is so much to explore. There is also a small cafe which has some good options for lunch in between the playing.

For the price I thought it was rather limited. There was very little to do on the second floor. One area was for small kids.

if your going to visit the SC museum and you are taking your younger ones, be sure to visit edventure. It is filled with things to do for younger kids such as climbing through Eddie, the giant boy in the middle of the museum.

We took our three year old grandson and he had a ball. He loved the full size firetruck, car and tractor. The only thing I saw that would have appealed to our granddaughter was the grocery store but perhaps we only saw what our toddler wanted us to see.

The highlight for my kids is always playing inside Eddie, who is a huge kid with a playground built inside of him. The kids get to explore his various organs and always find it interesting. Another popular room is the grocery store with plenty of play groceries and cash registers that can really scan the food. The only problem is... More
