“My Aunt is on hospice and has limited time left, I bought tickets to see the space exhibit as her bucket list was to go stargazing. She’s in a home and can’t be in her wheelchair for long so we scheduled this visit in lieu of trying to drive her out to flagstaff or superstition and cause more issues for her. Upon checking in, I mention my aunt is on hospice, this was a bucket list item for her and they scheduled a PRIVATE viewing about 10 min before the actual show. Cameron was amazing and showed us the Milky Way, nebulas, anything we wanted. My aunt was so happy she was crying. I was crying we all were crying. Thank you for this small kindness.”

“This is a very nice science center. We have been to quite a few around the country since the membership at our home science center gets us free or discounted admission through the ASTC network. We were visiting during the Christmas holiday break and it wasn’t too crowded. We also visited the Pompeii exhibition. This was our main reason for visiting the science center. It was a very interesting exhibit and I’m glad I was able to see it.”

“This is honestly my favorite place. I have been going ever since I was a small child and it still manages to amaze and intrigue me after many years. There are all sorts of exhibits and immersive experiences. The new Dorrance Dome is fun too.”
