Adventure Science Center

We had the privilege of getting to experience this center very recently on a school class trip as chaperones. The center was very organized and emailed us ways to pay prior to getting to the location. It cost us $20 which was a few bucks off regular price but we are also only there for limited hours 10 am to 1 pm which makes sense to not pay full price. I hope they continue to offer that. Once we got to the center the staff went over the rules and responsibilities for the day. There is so much to see and explore when at the center. The playground is a blast and some of the amazing exhibits included plants, music and body works. We could easily spend about 1 hour in each section if time permitted. There is a subway in the location for lunch but I world have loved a coffee shop. I highly recommend this center for a great science day especially when it is raining or cold outside.

It was very entertaining for children and adults alike. I would very much recommend. The subway was not overpriced and the little mochi shop in the back the children loved it! The exhibits very scholarly and all ages could learn something! The science show was the group's/ my favorite!

🌟✨ We Got a First Look! ✨🌟 We had the amazing opportunity to experience the VIP Preview of the Adventure Science Center’s brand-new Early Exploration space — designed just for little ones ages 5 and under! From colorful, hands-on exhibits to imaginative play zones, this space is a dream come true for curious minds and busy little hands. 🎨🔍🛝 🎥 Check out the highlights from our visit — our toddlers had an absolute blast exploring, learning, and laughing their way through science and fun! If you have little explorers of your own, this is a must-visit spot in Nashville! 📍 Open soon to the public — visit AdventureSci.org for more information.

This place combines science, fun, interactive experiences for a true adventure for kids of all ages and adults. Fossils, dinosaurs stand next to the timeline of space travel and planet exploration. Learn about gravity and various terrains with hand size race cars. Play with lights to make patterns and even play in a band with an interactive screen. Two climbing areas often chances to expend energy. An area for under 5 year olds offers a separate area for gross motor and fine motor skills. Explore different systems of the body, with fun activities, even a pathology lab. Some events have a separate charge, like the Planetarium and a MAX FLIGHT, motion simulator. Subway offers a cafe for all, separate entity from center. ANDREW was quite busy cleaning surfaces and items that people touched. Accessibility: Front door accessibility. Wheelchair access van spaces in free private lot, with ramps and stairs to entry. Front door drop of and pick up in front circle. Everything in venue except two climbing structures is accessible. Wheel chair accessible restrooms with grab bars and diaper changer throughout the venue.

Absolutely amazing place! Everything that a science center should be. Planetarium included. Tons of activities for the kids, as well as a great learning experience for adults. If you live in Nashville and have not been here you are definitely missing out. We take our kids here every chance we get. If you visit and love it, we would recommend getting the season passes, as it is cheaper in the end. Put the phone on hold. Pack a lunch, or hit the cafeteria. Bring family, friends, and acquaintances alike. There's no doubt that everyone will love it.

Great experience for everyone! We lace is relatively clean, the theater at 360 view was super cool only one exhibit we couldn’t see BUT hope to return sometime to Nashville.

I wish we had known that the Adventure Center has very little to offer to those under the age of 5. That said, more info should be provided on the website as well as inside the building as to which areas could be enjoyed by younger children as well as for first time visitors. The water table was perfect since our family took advantage of the fun this exhibit offers. However, our total time at the center lasted less than two hours. The exhibits are difficult to push, pull or twirl. The constant over-stimulation of lights and sounds were not easy to ignore. Our guests felt as though we were bouncing off the walls and not learning much. The cost of admission is excessive especially for children ages 5 and under. I believe that Nashville needs to develop more indoor age appropriate activities for toddlers and preschoolers. And, I believe that The Adventure Science Center can achieve this need easily with a few tweaks and with more simple attractions. Price cuts and simple signage would be appropriate and appreciated as well.

My 3.5-year-old had a blast here! It's even fun for adults. We loved all the different exhibits, especially the sound one. There is a Subway and frozen yogurt inside as well as a small gift shop. We spent a total of about three hours there and saw almost everything.
