Even in this crazy time, the MOST delivered a wonderful experience in a fun family oriented style. We took a 6 year old for the first time and she already wants to come back. Fun and learning for everyone!

Interactive science where people of all ages can discover, learn, and play!

Literally the best place ever. haven’t been in a while. but this place is so fun, with so many things to explore. great day trip! and the imax theater is just outstanding, love the movies they play. :)

I absolutely loved this museum. Went on a trip with my school class. They have a ton of amazing things yo see hear and some fun hands on activities as well. It also has an amazing museum of toothpick sculptures. Loved the environment and what the museum had to offer.

This was my 2.5yo daughters and my first visit and we had a blast! Way more things to do for her age than I ever imagined! Her favorite was the scary dinosaurs We came with a friend who has a membership which we are absolutely looking into now ourselves!

The MoST is still an excellent place to take kids. With COVID though the indoor playground is closed. :(

Wonderful time to be had by all. One of the volunteers-John- was so fun to talk to. He was so knowledgeable about the museum that Ill return again and again.

It is ver nice place for family with kids. Parking is a little tricky. You need to follow the sign of trolley parking space and pay first. Receipt will be printed and located on dash board. Overall nice and easy to understand the concept of many scientific fundamental. Highly recommend this museum.

We had a great time at the MOST! There were so many interactive exhibits that were fun for both my 1 year old and my 8 year old. They place was clean and well cared for. All of the staff we interacted with were great, the man doing the planetarium did a great job making it fun and interesting. They also had a nice clean seating area to eat in and a wonderful family area for nursing mothers, that had rocking armchairs, toys for the older siblings and a changing table. The only thing Id love to see is hand sanitizer dispensers as there were unfortunately many sick child, for families like ours with a preemie and chronic illness, these germs are quite a concern. Over all it was a wonderful experience and a great day! Looking forward to coming back again!

Perfect place for the whole family. Super interactive! Huge labyrinth of a playplace! Incredibly educational. Definitely the MOST (hehe) fun you can have on a Saturday afternoon!

This is the first time Ive been here since I was still a kid, and it was still so much fun. Im very big on science and learning, so going here with my child now and experiencing this with her is so rewarding. They have tons of really fun exhibits and plenty of things for the kids to do. Most of their exhibits perfectly combine fun with learning, so the kids have a great time. Absolutely be sure to visit the planetarium as well. Its so cool looking up at the stars and planets in a dark room. Would absolutely love to go again soon! Id recommend going with a small group, maybe just parents and kids, so everyone can have a good time and not feel rushed or have anyone sad they didnt get to do something.

Absolutely fun place for adults and kids. We had a great time and spent the better part of the morning and afternoon there. Interactive displays and lots of hands on things for the children to try out and learn. The exhibit around the human body, its organs and the giant size heart and nose is really fun. The planetarium is fun as well; the narration is not recorded but done by a member of the museum staff. We went on Sunday and the cafe was closed. Otherwise definitely worth a visit! Its located in a nice area too, in the heart of downtown.

This museum is the best kept secret in Syracuse. Everything from animated dinosaurs, a giant brain,trains, toothpick buildings and the best part a nice size Indoor climbing maze with ball pit and slides. My 18 month grandson loved it. They have step stools for the little ones.I also loved that they werent trying to sell you anything around every corner. The price is very reasonable. Great place on a cold snowy day

The exhibits are exciting. We celebrated our sons fourth birthday party here. The guests along with our family had such a great time. The party was a success and the kids got to play and discover the exhibits all day long. The play area is the best place for your kids to get their energy out. Even the adults enjoyed themselves. Worth every $$!

Great science museum with a lot of interactive exhibits. My kids range in age from 17 to 4 and they have a blast each and every time we visit. They also have a planetarium and an imax theater!

This is the best place to explore science. It has a lot of fun and it’s good for more learnings.

Has everything for the young scientists to explore and learn with many interactive exhibits.With added planetarium this is a must see attraction in the Syracuse area.

Very impressed. Give your self plenty of time. Activities for kids of all ages and interests. Rivals the childrens museums I have visited in larger metropolitan areas. Use of space in this old cavernous armory was very impressive.

Love it, great for young scientists to learn and have fun!

A fun science museum! Some of the stuff in the energy spacer were broken which was disappointing. Loved the dinosaurs, very cool to see. Some drawbacks: There is no place to buy food beyond a vending machine and the museum itself does not have a parking lot. The website suggests parking in the lot behind the museum but there is no rear entrance and the sidewalks were not shoveled. We parked in a lot across the street 3+ hours 8$.Also to note there are no hand sanitizer stations in the museum. Not a drawback just a mention.For sure a place to return to and continue to explore.

I have been visiting The MOST ever since I was a kid. I love how much there is to see/do/touch and play with! It is very easy to loose track of time and spend an entire day learning and playing!Expect to see different and incredible exhibits at different times of the year. From trains to space and our favorate, Dinosaurs, they all deliver on excitement!When your ready for a break, let the kids go play in the giant play structure that is free with admission.Its also definitely worth it to get a ticket to the IMAX while you are there too. The films are beautiful, informative and incredible!The MOST is a great place to play and learn!

We took our 16, 12, & 7 yr old. Everyone had a great time. We enjoyed the traveling Hubble exhibit, as well as a Planetarium show. Our kids really liked spending time in the Life Science area, as well as Technotown. My husbands favorite was Toothpick world. It was so cool!!

I came here with a friend and her little cousin. It was really fun. I would like to go back so I can read more of the exhibits (a little one can only take so much) but we had such a good time. So many interactive elements for kids and adults to enjoy. You really learn a lot about all different aspects of science.

Small and a bit expensive for what it is. However still science! When I visited a lot of attractions were undergoing repairs and maintenance. While it may be great for kids and parents not so great for adults. Extremely limited exhibitions, best by far the iMAX theater, toothpick world! and motorized Dyno World. 3-4 hours more than enough to see it all.

Field trip for my sons class. It was just as fun as I remember from when I was younger. Will visit again.

My kids loved it here! The climbing area, fossil pit, and climbing wall challenge were their favorite parts.

I remember in 2nd grade coming here. I absolutely loved it and it still brings back memories even though Im much older now. Ive always wanted to visit it again and recollect all the memories I made here. Its not just a fun experience, its also a learning experience. You can learn so much here and not even realize it because you are having so much fun. Definitely good for all ages, parents, kids, even if youre alone but bringing a friend makes it that much better.

Great museum but needs a good cleaning. There is TONS of dust. Love the climbing area. My 4 and 5 year old spent an hour in it. Similar to the McDonalds climbing area, only much larger and easy for adults to get around in it.

This is a museum where you learn by doing. They have some really fun interactive exhibits. My favorite may be jumping on the trampoline, which made you feel weightless (Gravity Jumper). The interactive sand tables that AR technology were really neat, too. Toothpick World (miniatures made of toothpicks) was amazing to see, as well! A lot of the museum was just really, really cool. Its worth some of your time when in downtown Syracuse!

Theres so much to do and see here for adults and children alike. So many of the exhibits are interactive and offer plenty of opportunity for kids to gain scientific knowledge through engaging with the principles being shown directly. The kids play area is amazing and the slides within it are no joke! All in all I highly recommend checking this place out.

MOST is the most fun place to explore with kids of all ages. Embrace your own inner child and go exploring alone or on a date. I always learn something new here and I love the theater.

A pretty good place to take your kids to. Its full of information and interactive games and gadgets. The toothpick museum isnt one to miss. The planetarium and the IMAX theater are awesome too! It makes for a good half day trip.

We came with our kids for a school trip. It was pur first visit and the kids loved it! Lots to do, and very hands on, which is great for our 5 and 3 year olds. The second floor was a little hard to figure out to get to, but it had a bunch of flight exhibits and info on power sources so well worth it. The only disappointing thing was the food area was a bunch of folding tables and plastic chairs next to some vending machines; it felt very lack luster compared to everything else.We will most likely be coming back again.

More suited to students and children than adults.

The museum is great and you can easily spend the whole day there. The kids are pretty entertained and they have really cool hands on exhibits. The only downside is there are a few interactive pieces that seem to be out of order.

Paid full price still when half the attractions were down, and the other half were either broken or hadnt been cleaned or maintained in a terribly long time it seemed. Very disappointing for our first visit, but likely reflective of funding. I hope the community can breathe some life back into this place soon.

This place is amazing. I really liked the apothecary shop.

We brought a 4yr old, a 5yr old and a 7yr old. There was something for each of them to do. They love this place and beg to go every weekend. So glad we bought a membership!

Get place to take your kids. They had a blast. Definitely something different to do. And there are a lot of places to eat in the area

This place was great, the kids and I had a good time

Good museum for children and adults. Plenty of interactive exhibits and play opportunities. Older kids have good opportunities for learning. IMAX theater available, havent used it. Probably best for the Polar Express at Christmas time.

I went to the Most as a kid on field trips and always had a blast. The Most is designed for school aged children with few things for toddlers/young kids to do. The one thing my two-year-old enjoyed was the dinosaur display, though we could have done without the feasting of the small dinos on the big one :) We also liked the indoor jungle gym but many of the other exhibits were down or too grown up for our kiddo. Well revisit in a few years.

Very cool and educational exhibits. Mostly interactive. Great for younger kids upto 10 or even 12. The play house is exceptional. Your kids can easily spend an hour or two just in the play house. Do that last.There was only one mens restroom with two stalls. One was closed for repairs. For the number of people and kids who visit this museum and the amount of time they spend here, there should be more. That is the only reason for the four stars only. Everything else is five stars.

Amazing museum lots of hand in activities. Love the f 16 flight simlulator.

-Open the dictionary to disappointed you see the MoST.-Their fossils and exhibits are fake, no way around it.-I’d rather get a lobotomy then be caught walking around this place again.-Almost as big of a letdown as the Blue Tusk

Great kids museum. Lots of exhibits to explore

Clean visit. Swift in. 1015am. Parking behind the building on a Sunday. Ignore parking on the street if you can, and entrance is the front of the building. Some equipment not maintained (flight sim can only turn right. Other flight sim wont move the plane in front of it. And lights just not working) but overall decent visit. Bring the kids!

Was very inspiring to say the least, Moon base architectural model exhibit draws on the imagination of the unknowns and perils of homosapiens species from Terra angaging the universe. Was more than one visit could manage.

While we were visiting family we stopped at this museum and found that with our local museum pass we received free reciprocal entry into this museum as well. There were plenty of activities for everyone. We went 2 days in a row due to cold rainy weather. They had a UPS truck on the main floor that my son loved checking out (looked like it was a temporary exhibit). My son (2 years old) loved the air ball shoot in the toddler area. We even ventured up in the climbing area and took the skid down. We’ll be back for sure during our next visit.

Worst planetarium experience EVER. Its a crime such a place has put NO EFFORT into its presentation. I dont blame presentation staff, it requires management to have a clue which they clearly have none, zero to put together a proper, exciting, dynamic presentation. Shame on you.This doesnt deserve even 1 star but to post you must use 1.

This place is really great for younger children. Ours are 2 and had a great time.

So many hands-on activities. I came here with my two friends from out of town and we had a blast. It was cool to learn about local geology, energy, and wildlife. The building has many little books and crannies to explore, and is totally kid-friendly, too. There was a new Hubble telescope exhibit that was so interesting. I would have given 5 stars, however, a couple of the exhibits had pieces and parts that were broken, and with so many stairs and levels, people that have difficulty walking may not be able to get around to everything

I loved visiting this place as a boy and I still loved visiting as an adult with a date. The price of admissions and the Imaz theater are reasonable & the exhibits are overwhelmingly interactive. The staff are courteous and helpful. You may wish to avoid this place if children bother you, as schools and other organizations frequent this location a good deal.

Great place, lots of neat stuff

Had a great time with my grandkids and our local scout group. Very fun and interactive activities to do there.

I was unsure if 9 months was too young for my son to accompany me to the Most... absolutely not! He loved it (maybe as much as I did). Building a giant Lego fort will go down as one of my fondest memories with him as of yet! Oh, and giant animatronic dinosaurs are always awesome!

Have been going here since I was a kid, and it still brings back good memories! I love making new memories with my brother like my parents did for me!

My kids loved it here

Great place for Children to learn and have fun. They can easily spend a day here and still not do and see everything

Awesome time. Great IMAX theater. Had a wonderful discussion about minerals with a very knowledgeable staff member.

The Dino exhibit was cool, but some of the exhibits dont work...I think you can do better...

Took grand daughter to The MOST, enjoyable afternoon, plenty for her to do and learn from. Reasonable ticket pricing, and if you are a vet or military your admission is FREE. Everything from dinosaurs to space travel, plus a game room for the kids. We had a very interesting day at the museum. My son loved it. They have plenty of stuff for kids to touch and play. An amazing museum for children. If you are visiting Syracuse, NY area, dont miss this place. Your children would love the place.

It was fun for the kids, I would have enjoyed more interactive science for the kids. The play area is enormous!

I loved it we had a fabulous time I was with my granddaughter my sister and her grandsonmy nephew is 5 and my granddaughter is only 18 months and both of them really enjoyed it. There is something there for every age group

So much to see and do!! Hands on while learning keeps the kids attention. Favourite is the Awesome dino animatronic exhibit!!

Great place for the kiddos to get hands on experience if science. Not exspensive. Could do it all in two hours. We got to go during Dino time.

The museum had a lot of interactive exhibits that I might not have thought would fall into the category of science and technology, but as we explored, I could see how they do. I really liked the wind and water power exhibits that challenged me to use manual power to see how the water and wind could generate power. Also, the space area was really neat and fun. My daughter enjoyed the opportunity to practice being a pilot. The IMAX theater is WORTH THE TRIP!! It was INCREDIBLE to see so many creatures up close in the Amazon movie. The story was informative and the video detail was amazing! It is something that everyone needs to experience. I think that this museum can be explored in one day, but that children will enjoy spending more time in some areas than others that could leave families spending more than 1 day there to really interact with everything. Another favorite was the toothpick model display. Wow!

Fabulous place to bring kids. The science exhibits, planetarium, bounce house, reading room, etc., allow for everyone to be happy on a trip here!

Was such a good evening watching a movie on the imax with my oldest son. He and I agree that the most should definately do more after hours events!!

So many things for kids and grown ups alike. The iMax was amazing, and all of the exhibits are great.Would love to see more sources of energy discussed though in the energy display, especially nuclear as its an extremely viable zero carbon source of energy, and three reactors directly north of Syracuse providing safe reliable electricity to upstate New York

This place is great. So much to do. My kids had a great time.

Took my 2 year old daughter and cousin (same age). Not a lot for them to do. I would say better for ages 5 and up. Parking is a bear.

Great place for kids and parents alike. Lots of things about technology, body, and toothpicks!

Lots to do, my 4yo loved it. Staff is nice. The planetarium show was a bit underwhelming. Not much in the gift store either. Totally worth a visit though!

My friend and I just want to see The Polar Express moive. It was a every good movie.

Great place, lots of fun

I really want to be super positive about such a great local resource as it is a great family destination, but a large number of exhibits are regularly not functioning. Many are the same ones that seem to have been perpetually broken for some time now. They host great events and well certainly be back many times to come, but its disappointing to see such poor upkeep of the regular exhibits. If you have time for the travel, the childrens museums in Rochester and Ithaca make for a great family day trip.

Great place for kids and teens, IMAX movie is very interesting and fun.

My son enjoyed it

Cool place to take an adventure. So many interactive exhibits to learn science, but in a fun way. The IMAX is sooooo cool too. I recommend doing both while youre there if you can. We were afraid of rain yesterday so we wanted a indoor venue for our 2 1/2 yo grandson to have some fun. This was fun for young & old and when you turned every corner there was something new. Well worth the money for any age!!

Parking is difficult. Once youre in its a great museum for kids. Plenty to see and room to run around

Awesome place can not wait to bring our son back...plus lots of great food around...

The IMAX facility was phenomenal, and the Museum was a total bliss to visit. What a great way to experience part of downtown Syracuse!

So much fun and so much thought put into making this place family friendly!

All kinds of activities for kids. A museum that entertains and educates all at the same time.

Fantastic place for kids and grown ups. So much fun stuff to do and learn!

A bit too expensive and so is the snacks inside. More options need to be added.

Its another kids museum. Not bad, we usually visit here to cool off.Things are a little run down, the jungle gym is dirty. But still a great place to learn for the kids.

I have been going here since I was a kid. They have always done a great job of making scientific concepts accessible and fun. Theres always something new there to explore as they change exhibits regularly. The IMAX is awesome (of course) and the Planetarium is a good time too! Dont miss this place if youre in the area and looking for something to do. My kids love it!

Great place for the family plenty of things to do and see

The museum overall is wonderful. So many displays and many hands on activities. Unfortunately, quite a few displays are dont work. The play area is exceptional. I think my 4-year old nephew liked that part the best. Theres public parking lots nearby; we went on a Saturday at 12:30, and the lots were almost empty. Our lot was only $3 for the whole day.

The best science museum we have ever been to. Hours of interesting fun. Very educative too.

We had a blast and they were great about working with our group!

We had a wonderful time here. This place is great for all age groups.

Lots of cool things for young kids to play and learn with. The indoor playground is pretty awesome as well. Some exhibits are as old as I am, and some are broken (hopefully they fix them). You can easily spend hours here and still not interact with everything. Overall the kids had a lot of fun for a decent price.

For the price, I would expect the displays to be in working order...I lost count of the number of displays either missing items or not working when you push the button. Had a cool amateur radio display that looked like it was supposed to be used by the kids but it was roped off. There was a large display in the human body area for muscles, I think, and when you go over there is is literally only a human skeleton in a display case... looked like more was supposed to be there. Planetarium was good.

Worth every penny, especially on a rainy winter day. Parents should wear/bring socks if they plan to go in the Science Playhouse.

Would have been better if 1/2 of the hands on experiences and rides werent shut down for one reason or another

We were visiting Syracuse and needed a good indoor day activity. We decided to give MoST a try. It is a huge space and there is plenty to keep a toddler busy. I agree with previous reviewers that many of the interactive experiences are not functional. None of the aviation exhibits/simulators worked. It was disappointing as the adult, but my toddler didnt even notice, so he still had fun.

Its always a good day when you can spend a couple of hours here with he family. Parking is a little bit of a walk but not to bad if weather is fair. Building has seen its wear but theyre constantly updating it. (Section was closed off due to what seemed to be a roof leak.) We had free passes when we purchased the Destiny USA Winter fun packages. Great time, recommended!
