OUR OVERALL EXPERIENCE
If we had to do our adventure all over again, we would skip the Living Science Center exhibit. Yes, it did have some interesting things, but we felt our time would be better spent at the River Legacy Parks. Legacy Parks is a tranquil area that lets you escape from your every day norm life. We would highly recommend this place in a heartbeat.
