That's what it is - the Most . A great educational, hands-on fun place to go. Always something new to see and the I-Max theater is super. Feeds the mind and stretches the imagination.

Would definitely take the younger school age kids back again and again. Older kids were not so thrilled though.

It doesn't matter why you come, you will enjoy the variety of displays from flying machines to model railroads. The museum also incorporates a Bristol IMAX Theater for wonderful surround movies. A great outing for kids and adults

We stopped in to check out this museum and walked in amazed at all that they had to offer! Great exhibits! Lots of hands on! Our 6 year old and 10 year old loved it (and we had fun, too)!

Museum has some great aspects and kids really do enjoy everything. Adults, however, do not enjoy the lack of cleanliness, lack of change in exhibits, and lack of "wow" factor in exhibits. I think The MOST could be great but needs to accept the challenge of competition in Syracuse and find excellent displays.

If you are visiting with your family, take a day to visit the MOST. It's always good in a city with 6 months of winter to have indoor activities. The MOST offers IMAX nature films, a large indoor play center and many interactive displays. We love the aerospace section upstairs with simulators and hands on activities. They are only open...

I spent three hours in here, and also, went to the IMAX to see a show. They have alot of hands- on things for kids. The building is in an old Armory. A great field trip for school kids.

Wow, just read the review below and wondered if we were in the same museum! We went 6 years ago and liked it then, but it's even better now, with many more exhibits. It takes HOURS to go through this place--if you want to see it all. Lots to read with the displays, so we skip a lot, but the... More

Great value. Great entertainment. Gem of Syracuse for anyone with kids. Take in an Omni movie shown on the domed roof or climb in a 4-story high gym chasing your kids. Tiring but refreshing.
