A fun filled expirence for children and adults both. The science spectrum is a place for hands on activities that help the imagination and curiosity of children soar. There are several floors of all sorts of "cool" science exhibitions. There is a huge hot air balloon located in the middle of all of the floors. If you push a button on the bottom floor you can see the hot air ballon rise to the ceiling of the top floor. There are a few aquariums housing frogs, turtles, snakes, fish and even pirhannas.
Located here also is the Omnimax theatre. If you have time be sure to check out a movie that is playing. Usually about 3 different shows are playing. The omnimax is a big round screen that projects movies! It is similar to a planatarium, but not quite that big! Best part is, nobody elses head will get in your way!
If you are visiting Lubbock with children of any age this would be my suggestion to take them for a little fun. You will have the oppurtunity to interact with your children in an educating way.
