A great educational and stimulating experience to all ages, especially the young generation. As a member of the Alabama Science Teacher Association (ASTA) Ive participated in the societys 2016 conference that took place at the McWane Center in Birmingham, AL. Since our non-profit organization, the AquacultureHub, is continuing to develop lessons for middle school and high school students via the ATOLL program, I wanted to meet more science teachers and learn from them of their needs. I found that the ASTA decision to use the McWane Science Center was really beneficial and inspirational to the conference participants. Everything on display was beautiful, educational and interactive, from the show on human anatomy to the touch the rays fish pool for the little kids. I highly recommend teachers and parents to bring their kids to the McWane Science Center.

The Imax is an awesome experience and is the best way to watch any movie. However, the Imax at the McWane center never shows new hits. ever. Every time I want to see a film there from Batman: The Dark Knight to Star Trek they are always showing an older film, usually a documentary. I can understand showing this during the day for the school children however I wish they would cater to the greater Birmingham adult community in their viewing experience.

My wife and I have taken our kids here several times as new exhibits come in and they always love it. My older boy can really get into all the interactive exhibits and my 3 year old adores Itty Bitty Magic City. I just wish it didnt have time slots. Also, as much as the kids love it, I have just as much fun playing with them.

Love the Mcwane Center! We live about 1 hour away, but get a family membership each year and probably go about 4-5 times. Its a good value, especially if you live close by. The membership also gets you entrance into many other museums and science centers all over the country that weve used a number of times.

The dome doesnt lend itself to traditional movies. Saw star wars. The lightsabers were bent and it was an unpleasant experience. The seats were disgusting and many were falling apart. I am giving it an extra star for the reel and the atmosphere leading into it. The theater is wasted on normal movies.

Fantastic expericence for iMax movies absolutely. The auditorium is state of the art. I would caution new viewers: this dome shaped theater may induce vertigo sensations, some of which may be unpleasant if the showing is not a film produced explicitly for the iMax experience (ie Harry Potter).

Great atmosphere. Fun for the whole family with several off the wall designs and innovative engineering as well as sealife exhibits, fossils, history and the majority of displays are hands on. 3 levels of pure fun for ages 2 to 82.

Really nice place for the kids to go to. Cool little science details to play with. Even adults can enjoy being part of the experience (although its more fun watching the kids enjoy themselves). My family and I had a great time.

Great place to visit for young and old. Fun for kids and educational for adults and children! Staff is friendly. Food is great and it seems that the museum as a whole is very clean and well maintained.

Spent an overnight here with my daughters Girl Scout Troop. An endless number of things to do, with most being hands-on. Food options not the best but kids never get enough chicken fingers and chips.

The Mcwane Center has a lot to offer for all ages. The IMAX film wasnt very clear. It seemed like they took a movie and enlarged the format. My family had a good time.
