Lancaster Science Factory

Would love to give a 5 star rating, however, staff seems unresponsive to requests to TURN THE HOT WATER ON IN THE WOMENS BATHROOM. By the way, it is flu season and all we are trying to do is wash our hands with soap and warm water. With it being 45 degrees outside, it’s no fun to wash cold hands in cold ice water.
This is a repeat visit for us and we are very happy to see new installations and some of our old favorites. This is a great destination for charter or Montessori school groups that can engage students in the wonder of science, without spending a huge amount of money.

Very nice place for introducing kids to basic principles of science. Mainly focused on physics but my son who is 16 also had fun with the exhibits.

My son took a few of their homeschool classes, which were pretty good. My 11 and 13 year olds enjoyed their exhibits.

This facility is advertised as being appropriate for kids ages 7 to 13. I took my 8 year old granddaughter there and she liked it, but I thought most of the exhibits were too involved for kids as young as 7 or 8. I would describe it as more appropriate for kids 12 and older. Even though she didn’t understand a lot of it, she had fun, and that’s what matters.
