点评:I took my daughter's yesterday because we were downtown for something else and we had free tickets via POGO pass. The last time we went was in 2021. They are 13 & 16 but remember the science center fondly as a fun field trip when they were in elementary school. If I had paid $80 to enter for the three of us I would have been pretty irritated. There was literal trash and water bottles everywhere over the museum. I would say at least half of the experiences were broken or did not work. The nail bed didn't work, on the first floor things were broken, things did not light up, the computer programs were outdated and you could not access the questions or things. The WONDER center had malfunctioning computers, broken pieces. The HAM shack was roped off and you could not access it. In the sand erosion bed had maybe two cups of sand in it. Every floor was scattered with water bottles (I assume left by field trip students), there was paper trash everywhere on the first floor.
I understand from time to time they remove or rotate exhibits but the water exhibit on the first floor was removed and replaced by seating, this was something they looked forward to seeing. The gift shop was moved to a central location that you must walk through to go to the entire science center, as a teacher in a title one district this is not very equitable to the students who do not bring extra money to get things from the gift shop.
As a teacher and mom who spent the better part of either taking my own students or going as a chaperone for a field trip, I would be severely disappointed as would the students.
翻译:昨天我带女儿去了,因为我们去市中心有别的事,而且我们通过 POGO 通行证获得了免费门票。我们上次去是在 2021 年。她们一个 13 岁,一个 16 岁,但她们对科学中心记忆犹新,那是她们上小学时一次有趣的实地考察之旅。如果我花 80 美元让我们三个人都入场,我会非常生气。博物馆里到处都是垃圾和水瓶。我想至少有一半的体验是坏的或无法使用的。指甲床不能用,一楼的东西都坏了,东西没有亮,电脑程序过时了,你无法访问问题或东西。WONDER 中心的电脑出现故障,零件都坏了。HAM 棚屋被绳子围了起来,你无法进入。在沙蚀层里可能有两杯沙子。每一层都散落着水瓶(我猜是实地考察的学生留下的),一楼到处都是纸质垃圾。
我知道他们有时会移除或更换展品,但一楼的水展被移除了,取而代之的是座位,这是他们期待看到的。礼品店被移到了一个中心位置,你必须穿过这个位置才能到达整个科学中心。作为一名一级学区的老师,这对那些不带额外钱去礼品店买东西的学生来说很不公平。
作为一名老师和母亲,我大部分时间要么带着自己的学生去,要么作为监护人陪同学生去实地考察,我会非常失望,学生们也会如此。
