Lancaster Science Factory - Science museum in Lancaster - 454 New Holland Ave, USA

This place is GREAT! Everything is hands on activities, which is AWESOME for kids. It is important for them to touch, to feel, and to explore instead of just watching it out of a glass display. All the activities are so interesting that the kids got themselves involved automatically! All my three kids (3/5/7) can find something to play for their ages. The gentlemen inside were so patient to my high maintenance boy and provided him everything he needed to build his marble track. I’m so touched by their dedication and support to the young children. They are absolutely amazing! We stayed from 11am to 4pm and only finished half of the activities. We will come back for sure.

We loved this place!! We spent about 2 hours here and there was so much more to do that we skipped due to time constraints. My son loved the water table and the bubble area. The outdoor garden was beautiful. Honestly the entire place was magical and we will definitely come back next time we are in the area.

This was such a surprise as we are exploring hands on museums in our area with our 5 year old. I would describe the science factory as the big brother to hands on house except with more STEAM geared activities. We spent 36 dollars for 3 of us to visit and spent 3 hours there. They have an indoor climber, water station, bubble station, parachute and ball launchers, an energy generation station, magnetics, garden area, build and testing car station, and a music station. I would definitely recommend this for kids ages 3 and up. Mainly because at this age, they can utilize everything there.

I took grandkids, ages 5 &7, on Dec.27. They loved this climbing bridge a LOT. There were many activities for younger to older children, both fun and educational. We spent about 2.5 hours there, but the kids would have climbed more if we had time. A great indoor experience, would definitely go back. $12 very reasonable.

My whole family loved it here. It was fun and very educational for all of us. There were so many things to do and learn. The staff was friendly and they kept the place tidy which I imagine is hard to do with all the excited kids running around. This place is great for mini field trip out of the house for the whole family.

This is an awesome place to go with kids that like to be busy. There is so much to do with science and exploring. We were in town for the weekend and it was a great place for kids to be active. Would definitely go again!

Fun science center. Compact. All exhibits are on one level in a large open space. Small outdoor space as well. Good for elementary and middle school age kids. Lots of different exhibits dealing with electricity, hydraulics and pneumatics, magnetism, structures, sound, etc. Small gift store.

We took our grandchildren and they loved it. We purchased the Grandparents membership, which will allow us to return later this summer to checkout the outside activities. It was a little crowded and kiddos got antsy waiting for their turns once in a while, but everyone was kind and considerate. Great place to spend an afternoon!
