This is a great place for kids. There is so much to learn there! If your child is interested in science, there are so many hands-on things they can do. There is a play area for very young kids, and you can even do the flight simulator. The history of the Lubbock area is also women in throughout the place. There is also an OmniMax theater that surrounds you.

The water table in the toddler play area is so fun as well as all the fun things to do. Watch a movie or see the Butterfly exhibit etc. There is so much to do for kids. Science is so much fun and they make it interesting for everyone-handson. NEEDS BETTER MOVIES THOUGH... Same movies play for months if not a whole year. Which makes it not a place we visit often since the kids have gotten bigger.

The science spectrum is doing an amazing job during covid 19. Constant cleaning makes you feel very safe. Plus, they took advantage of their closed time to offer free kits to people AND update and refurb exhibits. Definitely a Lubbock favorite.

Our 7 and 10 years old kids love to spend time here. Best decision is to get the yearly membership that combines with the Omni theater shows! We really enjoyed our visits and shows. Good place for the kids to learn, enjoy and have fun. We had been to special events happening here and enjoyed being there. We would definitely recommend this place.

A must do - must see if you have children in Lubbock. Its awesome. It might have just been the day we went, but many of the exhibits were not working presumably due to a million little hands playing with them and insufficient funds for maintenance & upkeep. Nevertheless, Id still go back because we enjoyed it so much.

We love taking our little one to Science Spectrum. Lots of fun activities. The experiments and talks they offer are fun. Been to a few birthday parties and it was fun for the little ones. I love the special events like Butterflies Alive and Bubble Fest. So glad we have something like this in Lubbock.

Review №19

Honestly very disappointing. We had heard such awesome things about this place only to go and see half of the displays were broken, missing parts, or just not in working condition. The area where they have the turtles and snakes look poorly kept. The information is pretty interesting but everything needs to be updated.

Tha Mad Masquerade party at the Science Spectrum in Lubbock, Texas was mad!!! Everyone looked so nice in their costumes or gowns and we all had fun even though, I had no idea what I was doing while we were trying to solve a murder. After calming down from all of that, I actually looked through the exhibits and hands on experiments. There is a lot there, filled with the quality and learning a community needs. Yes, I am planning on attending next year!!!

Always exciting and fun!Very informative on all things science! From bugs, to sea life, to exploring music, optical illusion, fantastic exhibits, and a large relaxing OMNI theatre.HIGHLY SUGGEST TO ANYONE NEW TO LUBBOCK, OR RESIDENTS/VISITORS.They have a picnic/food area in the lobby to eat in, 3 floors of crazy fun and educational experiences, and their gift shop has some of the coolest toys, rocks, stuffed animals and books!

My 8-yrs old grandson loved it but was disappointed that many things were not working. He still had a great time. A lot of caregivers turned children loose that had no manners nor regard for waiting their turn. We saw children with their matching tee shirts but did not see any adults with them until they lined them up to leave. Employees were very friendly! It was a good day!

Fun place for family outing that exposes kids to basics of science. Very inspiring and go there only if you have enough time to let the kids explore and let their imaginations go wild.

One of the more fun places to visit in Lubbock, there is a lot to do and they have special events - including a few that are 21 and up. For the price, you can spend several hours here and make it worth it. Good value.

This place was awesome. Hands down. Spent about 3 hours and could have spent more. A few exhibits were not in working order, but did not negatively impact the experience with all there was else to see.The earth is flat.

Took my two year old here to see the butterfly exhibit. We also went to the under 5 area and she had a ton of fun and enjoyed herself for about two hours!

This was a great stop while we were visiting family in Lubbock. My kids stayed fully engaged for about 3 hours. A few of the exhibits had lots of wear but it did not take away from my kids having a positive experience.

Great place to let kids interact with science. Extremely kid friendly, if they are old enough you pay for them to get in and you can sit at the snackbar tables to save money.Grandson ran around for 2 1/2 hours exploring, till he got hungry lolBest to purchase movie and museum ticket at same time. Great gift shop!

Review №64

Ive been going to the science spectrum since it was located on 50th and slide. Have always loved it...... but after my gf and I visited today, sadly I will likely not be returning. The maintenance seems non existent, the aquarium is definitely more depressing than informative, and to top it off they advertised the wrong omni documentary so as it was starting they informed us it was not the movie we paid for. Really wish they could fix the place up some, maybe time for new management and a remodel?

Review №65

It would be nice if this place was renovated and brought up to date. The dinosaur downstairs is the same one from when I was a kid and a little disappointing. Please considering bringing it up to date a little. We really love coming there but most things are broken everytime we go.

We got the year-long pass for our family. It has been worth it, for sure. Our two-year-old loves it already, and we can tell there are tons of activities for her to grow into when she gets older.

The Science Spectrum was a fixture of my childhood, and remains the coolest hands-on museum Ive ever visited (including the Seattle Childrens Science Museum, and the Denver Museum of Natural Science). The IMAX has cool movies and there are traveling exhibits and events all the time to keep the experience fresh and new. Great for all kids, old and young!

Wish it was updated a little bit since my childhood... does it need more funding or what? Plus the animals look super lonely and sad in those super little enclosures... I wish I could help some how...

Would be 5 stars, but there were just a few too many downed exhibits and Im sure it was from kids going nuts on them so I understand the issue, but wouldve still liked to see how soke of the other exhibits worked. Next time!

I took several kids ranging from 1-7 and there was a little something for everyone. Some of the interactive exhibits were not in good order but most were great and easily accessible and understandable for kids. The live animal show was great. Parking is a bit tight so be ready for that.
