The kids had a ton of fun here. It is definitely geared towards older kids but they had things to entertain the baby and even adults. We spent 2 and 1/2 hours here and could easily have spent more. Parking is convenient and the exhibits are spread out so it didnt seem crowded. The kids are already talking about going back

So much fun for our 3 year old!

This place is a wonderful day trip for kids. There’s lots of stations and plenty of space to social distance. We will absolutely be back.

Amazing space. Awesome programs. My daughter attended their virtual learning program while schools were closed due to pandemic. This place nurtures the mind to create through technology and science. Great for the little ones and the teens! The ExtraGive events in November are always a great time.

This was a fun place to go for my 9 yr and 6 yr old kids. Spent 3 hours there with the various activities you can interact with and learn. If I lived closer, i would have sent my kids to the science summer camp

My daughter absolutely loved making costumes at camp this week! She came home with such excitement each day to tell us what she was working on. The fashion show was a great way to showcase their work, thank you!

This place is all about interactive exhibits!! My kids and my husband had so much fun for two hours of learning through playing with the exhibits. Highly recommended.

We brought our 8 year old here. She loves science and how things work and this place did not disappoint. We as parents had as much fun as she did! A must stop.

Amazing experience for kids and adults. So many activities to try I couldnt get through them all! It is definitely a multi visit establishment.

We had the most amazing day at the Lancaster Science factory! My kids are 2 & 4 and we spent 4 hours with a brief lunch break in the car. It isn’t a huge place which was perfect for us - all one floor. If you are thinking about coming, check for a free pass at your library!

My kids love all of the great hands on exhibits. Staff is friendly and easy going.

Nice equipment and helpful staff. Kids,are happy here.

This is a nice place to take your kids. The website it say give yourself 3 hours and tells you the best time to come for less crowds. Which was helpful. Problem is...I have three kids (10,8,7) and there were over it in about an hour...hour and half. Its smaller then I thought it would be. It is pack with fun and interesting things but it seem lacking. There isnt much staff.but you dont need many people when people should be watching their kids. Plus it was super clean!! Over all a family of 4 is $40. A good place to come once a year but not often. Would recommend for someone who looking for fun time for kids.

Love the renovations! Two exhibits were not working but then staff was able to repair the one. Lots of great activities. I recommend ages 4 and up. My 4yo could at least interact with most things, but didnt get much when he was younger. My 7yo loved all the activities.

I love this place. Absolute fun and learning. My grandchildren ages 3-11 cant get enough!

My kids (7 & 3 yo) loves coming here. We have an annual pass that allows us to go to several museums and we get plenty of use out of it.

Really fun! But you can get through everything easily.

Great place to go if you do not have a medical condition preventing you from wearing a mask. We have a child who faints in a mask. We were told she is not welcome there if she can not wear the mask. We offered to have her wear a shield as she can do fairly well in those. We were told no their policy will not allow for medical conditions. This is discrimination against those with medical conditions. I was told it isnt (by staff) because masks are not a protected class ......so basically they ethically dont care that they are discriminating because they cannot be sued.

Fun place for all ages! Lots to do and explore.

This place was a lot of fun for adults and children. They have a lot of hands on experience, learn a lot of things. We didnt get to do everything but we are looking forward to going again.

Would recommend. Our 6 year is old didn’t want to leave.

Great place! Kids enjoyed! Adults as well!

Great place for young minds. My 3 1/2 year old had a fun time but i would recommend 5 and up for them to really soak in the experience. Get there right when they open to get the run of the place for at least the 1st hour.

Great museum. Absolutely love it! Good for small kids.

We spent 3 hours there. Very nice set up. And convenient free parking.

First Friday of the month is free from 5-7. Children loved it!

This is a great place to take your kids they will have a blast. There is so many things to do I took my stem loving 12 year old and he had lots of fun I recommend is you are near come to this place. It’s worth $10

Lancaster Science Factory is a cool place. It has a parking lot across the street and the staff is nice and friendly. Fun exhibits for the kids and the classes are great and reasonably priced. Its worth checking out!

My 2 year old will spend tireless hours bouncing from station to station. Its great to grow his brain and expend his endless energy! A win win!!

It is always a good choice to bring your kids or even yourself closer to science! You can learn so many science here from gravity to circuits, from magnets to hydraulics, from energies to inertia. Science never feels boring!

Great place to pass the time for the kids and get their energy out. Also free for military.

My daughter is doing Science Camp here and loves it!! This is her first time in a kids group setting since the pandemic started and she felt so comfortable after the first day and shes learning alot. I wish they had adult classes lol.

This spot has some really good hands on activities for kids. Its probably not something that youd visit more than once or twice a year, but my 3 year old didnt want to leave on the day we visited.

This kids museum was so great because it had so many things our kids had never seen at a childrens museum before. The hit was the paper airplane launcher. We got tickets from our local library and made it a day trip. Highly recommend.

Its a great place for hands on physics science experience for kids and some what for adults too.I am giving only 3 star coz of the staff were not friendly or helpful. Once they got you in, thats end of your job.

You learn alot . The Kids injoyed it , clean !

Great day visit. My three kids (3, 8, & 10) all had a good time.

My kids love this place. They live the hands on approach. It makes me want to throw away all my toys and have a science factory in my house instead. Lol

My nephews 3 and 5 absolutely Loved this place. After a few hours we still had to make them leave against their wishes

Great indoor place for kids to have fun. On the website it says that it is meant for kids 7 and up but my toddler had a great time

Excellent family fun place , deducted one star for some of the attractions being outta order

Great for kids who cannot read. REALLY awesome for kids who can read. Lots of discovery stations with technical explanations. A parent could accompany a kid going through, but its a lot to just listening and theyll get bored. Its best when something catches their attention and theyll read all about it.

We have been here a few times already, still havent covered all ..kids had a grand time

Just thought it was pricey to maybe go more often and the staff wasnt so engaging not sure if they have snack area but they do have alot of things there for the kids 5 and up and a small area for smaller babies

Very educational for all ages of kids

I gave it 5 start because if I were a kid it would be a super fun place to go. There were many hands on things to do but as an adult gathering place it fell a little short.

I had as much fun as my grandson.

Really cool place to take young children. Lots of learning activities and they can learn some and get some time away from electronic devices

Recently enjoyed this experience again after not going for a few years. The exhibit space looked like it was double the size since the last time we were there.We have 4 kids 10-2 years old. This is the perfect family outing for them. Everything is hands on (including some water fun) with lots of projects to experiment with. From the mad scientist to the artist to the wallflower in your group everyone will find loads of learning fun.

Location was empty,only the front desk associate was kind.

Great for kids of all ages

So much and was barely anyone there. Wish the staff was more friendly.

In terms of learning anything most kids would have to be older, like teenagers. we took a group of kids ages 13, 8, 4, and 2 and they learned nothing but they had a great time playing at each station.

Definitely a great place for kids 5-12 years of age, recommended indeed 👍

Lots to do. Great place to entertain your kids!

Great place to take the children. There are a lot of hands on science exhibits for children. They can learn and have a blast doing it. The facility was clean and most of the exhibits were functioning properly. Money well spent for a cold winter day with the kiddos.

Very nice experiential learning science museum. All on one floor, and easy to enjoy for kids to about 6th grade level.

The best educational place for kiddos in Lancaster city Pa.

It was a great experience for the child. Educational and fun!

Excellent science museum. We came here on a rainy day when dutch wonderland was closed. It was better than I expected. Lots of hands on activities. You can build robots, marble mazes, play with water.My daughter and her friend had a great time. I will be returning next time we are in Lancaster.As a science teacher I found it fascinating.

My kids (6 & 8) loved it. Spent the whole day there and had a blast!

Ive been to the Science Factory many, many times with my son. This is a gorgeous facility staffed with friendly, science loving staff. The makers room is great. Every time the facility is clean and organized. I highly recommend this location for kiddos from 5-11.

Awesome for kids from 3 to teen. Its a place where you can get hands-on with what you learned about science in class. Lots of experiment ready equipment and fun toys. Parking is across from the museum and free. Really enjoyed it.

Fun and learning for the whole family!

Very interactive and hands-on. Also followed COVID protocol.

Surprisingly interactive! Easily spent two hours here with my 9yo. Lots of building projects and experiments to try. Not as suitable for preschoolers although some activities would interest them. We found that some posted instructions on experiments were hard to follow, and on the day we were there, a couple activities werent working. Free parking available across the street.

Great rain day fun in Lancaster, the kiddos loved it!

For children it is a great opportunity for them to learn a bit about Physics ( without being scared by that big word) and having a lot of fun doing it. Parents might be surprised at what they learn while working through each station. A lot of fun is had by all. Enjoy!!

My kids loved it! highly recommend visiting

So many cool hands on exhibits!! Kids and adults alike can stay busy for hours. Its a wide open area thats kind of noisy but who said science was quiet anyway!

Great place for kids to explore and learn while playing. I wish they had a room where people could eat a lunch or snack. Otherwise, very fun place.

We spent the night during a scout lock-in and it was so fun! They had a few activities planned, then scavenger hunt driven free-time, dinner and a fantastic breakfast, and even opened the store for souvenirs. They were very accommodating and everyone had fun!

Better than other preschool attractions in Lancaster area. This allows parents to work with their children, not just watch them. We purchased a year membership after our first visit.

Lots of fun to be had by all ages!

Our 7 year old was busy for 3 happy hours!! Plus, it was great to see even the adults engaged & off their phones!! Teachers get free admission!!

My boys and I absolutely love the Science Factory! Its become the first place I recommend when people are going to visit Lancaster. The exhibits and activities are so fun and we learn a lot with each one. One of my boys has autism and the Science Factory is one of his favorite places. I feel comfortable with him being able to work independently at the exhibits. Even I never want to leave when we visit!

Came here as part of a summer camp field trip and the kids Loved it! There was so much to do we nearly ran out of time before seeing everything! We went with 4/5/6 year olds but I think older children would understand the exhibits better.

Great place for kids and adults alike. Lots of neat things to do and learn. While it doesnt look large on the inside there is a lot to do and you could spend a few hours here doing all of the stations. Having been there last year, not much has changed. It would be nice to see some new exhibits. With that being said, our kids still enjoyed everything like it was their first time there.

Fun for all ages. My 29 year old friend enjoyed it as much as my 2 year old. You can just have fun or read about the science behind everything if you choose. Inexpensive admission price with 2 and under free

If you want a place for children to do hands on experiments on basic scientific principles while still having fun, this is hands down the best place to go!!!! Children will spend hours enraptured in a world of scientific fun!!! Certainly a place to stick on your must visit list....

This place is so much fun! Not only can the kids touch everything, but there are just so many fun exhibits. We loved the parachute launcher and the tennis ball launcher. There is a dance room and a building table for Knex . Very fun! The parking was easy and free and the museum is not crowded. Would definitely come back!

Very interactive and fun place to let the kids explore. I would say it is more appropriate for elementary age kids. They just loved it and learned a lot. This is a play/ experience and learn place, not a museum.

This place is top notch. Dozens of exhibits and they are tons of fun! My 6 yr old had a blast for hours. So much to learn and so much to see. Truly a great attraction in Lancaster!

The Lancaster Science Factory offers an enjoyable, hands-on science experience to young children to children into their early teens. The science factory is relatively small but contains many hands-on learning activities throughout. Activities include but not limited to physics and gravity.GROUP RATES: Available for groups of 10 or more ($2 off/ticket 2018 prices)The Science Factory participates in the Science Center reciprocal museum program.Several buses of children came in which provided for large crowds in the science center; otherwise, delightful visit.TICKETS: Prices are the same for ages 3+ ($9.50 summer 2018 price)PARKING: Free, across the street.RECOMMENDATION: 2-3 hours for a visit. Good for toddlers, elementary students and early teens

Incredible Experience for Cub and Boy Scouts!If I could give them ten stars for their scouting program I would. We recently took our cub scouts for an overnight at the Science Factory and it was the most wonderful experience. The staff was friendly, courteous and helpful. Whenever we needed something or had a question, they were right there and ready to help with smiles on their faces. They also served us a wonderful breakfast and made sure that we were all comfortable and happy.The scout program includes an overnight in the factory, where the children are allowed to camp out wherever they want. The scouts are giving a list of science experiments to complete and they fill out what they learned basically. They then receive a special scouting patch for their achievement in science. It is educational, but also fun.In addition to the science and education requirements, the children are allowed to run, play, explore and experiment at their leisure. This allows the children to discover the wonder of science for themselves and engages them in a fully interactive experience that will delight young minds to no end. Some of the best exhibits include the sound and light stage where children can perform and play, the light and lenses room, the roller coaster building, and so much more.The fun is endless, the learning is enjoyable and the staff is wonderful.

Granddaughters love spending time here. Nice environment and plenty of different things to do. At 4 and 2 we are trying to get a good footing for future learning, but it sure is fun for them now.

The kids really enjoyed themselves but waited like 10 minutes to pay to be admitted. The only employee was on her cell phone the entire time we were here. Even as she had us pay she was still talking on her phone and barely acknowledged us.

Just an awesome hands on experience for the whole family. A great place to take the grandchildren on a hot humid day and or rainy day! If you need a hotel reservation for a weekend stay, the Cork Hotel is on the premises of the Science Factory. Its absolutely be and convenient.

Fun and affordable. A lot of different activities in a huge space so it doesnt feel crowded and there is always something to do. My kids loved it and we will definitely be back.

So many fun learning experiences for kids. Great outreach for scouts as well.

Excellent hands-on kids museum. Unlike a lot of kids museums, the experiments are in great shape all the time. Ive only found two broken or missing pieces of equipment in the numerous times Ive visited. The experiments are engaging and informative. Membership is a great deal and gets you into a lot of other great museums for free.

Our plans were interrupted due to the weather so we found this place doing a GPS search and it was a perfect place! Kids ages from 5 - 11 had a blast! All hands on many different stations. Great prices to be able to bring a whole family!

Not a big place but there is a lot to do and the price is right. My 11yr old son spend 4 hours in here and still wasnt ready to go. There a lot of exhibit and everything is hand on. It suitable for all age.

Great place for kids to play and learn! They also offer camps at times.

My boys, 6 and 12 north enjoyed it. Mommy win! !!!!

This is hidden away but well worth the find. Lots of things for kids to do and experience. We had a lot of fun and the kids learned some new things. Would love to come back again sometime.

Amazing place for children of all ages! Recently renovated so its even better. Great staff and camps are available for children.

A great spot to enjoy with the kids that offers interesting stations and activities for all ages to enjoy. The science factory packs a bunch of fun things to do to push kids creativity and understanding of concepts both simple and complex in a way thats fun and impactful.

The Lancaster Science factory is a fun and educational experience for children of all ages and levels. It provides a unique way to engage children and teach them a variety of different science centered principals that can not be found anywhere else in the region.the Science Factory also supports organizations who work with and provide meaningful interventions and services to children with special needs, behavioral challenges, and developmental disorders by providing free services to these local agencies.Plus it really is fun!

Its a relatively small space but they pack in a really nice assortment of hands-on exhibits. Our 3 year old enjoyed it but they have things that would hold the interest of kids up to at least 10.
