New York Hall of Science

This is a tough review for me to write. I and my son both love going to the Hall of Science; in fact, I'm a member of the Hall! If you are visiting the area or live in the area and have never gone, it's a must see. The indoor activities are great for young and old. My son especially liked the sports section that they have upstairs. They really need to add a few things in this area. If they asked me I'd tell them my ideas. Anyway, back to the point. The outdoor playground is great! If it's a nice day you MUST try it out!

Now to my problem with the Hall. I paid $155 for a 2 year membership. That's a lot for a place I go to maybe three times a year. Now they charge members for kids crafts. It's only a couple of bucks, but it really burns me up after dishing out $155 that they can't afford to "give" us a piece of paper, maybe a rubber band, and some crayons to color with! This is nickel-and-diming at it's worst. My other issue is they now have a video simulator (you sit in a capsule with a video screen in front of you and the capsule moves around)- but they charge members for this 3 minute ride! I believe it's at a small discount to non members, but come on!

All and all it's a great place and my son loves it!
Let me know what you think.
