Very amazing museum, best I've been to! I would recommend the IMAX and Lightening Shows, they're insanely awesome! The food there is great at the Cafe, along with friendly volunteers and staff!

Jeff S.August 25, 2017It's a great place to visit with so many exhibits. They did a nice job on their Skyscraper! Achievement and Impact tribute. LSC is a fun interactive science museum for all.

Jackie Sansone (Hlavenka)September 3, 2013Over a decade ago, the US Department of Energy installed a wind turbine at LSC to demonstrate the feasibility of using wind as a source of energy in urban areas. Check it out from the 4th floor deck.
Dan BetzAugust 23, 2014Long lines and big crowds on rainy days. You can skip the line by buying tix on your phone and pick them up at the welcome counter IF you can navigate their mobile site.
Nicole RovigJuly 22, 2018The best science center I’ve ever been to. Kids love to walk the high beam in the construction room. It requires an appointment unless it’s a slow day at the Center.
DailyCandyFebruary 26, 2014This zany science museum is home to the first Hoberman sphere. Though geared toward littles (the calendar is packed with interactive learning events), it brings out the childish nerd in any adult.
Mark DunecMay 24, 2014This is a great place to learn about alternative energy solutions. As a Congressman, I will promote investment in green and renewable energy. #NJ11
Monica BonJanuary 23, 2018So much fun. They also started doing 3rd Thursday of the month “after dark” events for adults where they have a DJ, food and drinks. So fun!
The Ritz-CarltonMarch 23, 2017Liberty science center is the perfect family fun escape from the snowy streets of NYC. Just a quick ferry ride across the hudson river from lower Manhattan.
Greg BattleJanuary 9, 2017Incredible spot for kids and adults alike. Worth becoming a member, but I hate the fact that I have to pay for parking every time regardless. Kinda weak.
Theodore KimFebruary 5, 2015An excellent place for kids to run around and learn about science. Great views of Lower Manhattan are an added plus.
Angel MartinezMay 26, 2012Do NOT do the interactive movie. A DVD movie carried to a classroom(theater) and played for you to watch a child's movie. The most interaction you get is putting the seat down to sit.
ShayApril 28, 20164 floors of amazing science and entertainment. Try to walk the I-Beam on the 1st floor. It's scary.
Lauren AlexaOctober 25, 2016They do events after hours that are 21+! So much to see and they actually have decent food here as well. Definitely worth a trip to see!
Dennis MulatoDecember 8, 2013Great place to take kids for a fun, indoor and educational experience. You can have a kids bday party here also ... we went to one ... big party room.
👑 Danira V💗n KFebruary 21, 2013Watched the turtle go go go for about 10 minutes! Animals are amazing :) first time going there, deff going back :)
Erin ChisAugust 12, 2012Go to liberty science center!!!!!fun place,great food,and really good for birthday parties. GO TO LIBERTY SCIENCE CENTER!!!!!!!!!!!
Mary QSeptember 20, 2014$7 parking even for members since lot is not owned by the center.. But overall, a good value for the kids! Plenty of fun learning. Place is huge!
Rikin DiwanDecember 14, 2014The guitar exhibit is definitely worth it for kids and adults alike. #jerseycity
- Jeffrey MoreiraJuly 7, 2012If you have a Bank of America card, you can get free admission for yourself every first full weekend of the month!
Matt HantzJanuary 4, 2015Definitely take the time to watch an IMAX or 3D movie, but check show times before you come; they're different weekend vs weekday.- TinaMarie SweetsJuly 7, 2015Everything! The information given for each exhibit is extensive. Kids must try the touch tunnel! Love it!
Deana DavoudiaslJuly 24, 2013It can get very busy with various summer day camps in the mornings during the summer.
Jason ShaoApril 10, 2015Afternoon crowds due to school trips can make this a madhouse and lines at exhibits like touch tunnel absurd
K WJuly 19, 2017Between labor day and memorial day (so the summer) the museum is free for active duty military and 4 family members.- Plenty of activities to keep kids busy but get there early before it gets crowded.
When in the Skyscraper exhibit, make sure you know the difference between the Curtain Wall Test and the Wind Tunnel Lab. Curtain Wall is the one you go in and sit!

Aaron LaudermithDecember 31, 2013I had to drag my two year old away from the Bob the Builder exhibit. He loved it. I loved him being entertained for so long.
Toddler activities , aquarium, dinosaurs' fossils . Good day to spend during cold and rainy days
Fabtastic place and good for qeekebds because of limited capacity and mask mandate
If you can't figure out the maze in the Math Midway exhibit, here is the solution: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqWl7JVYRDg&feature=player_embedded
Marc TMay 3, 2014Bank of America card holders get in for free on the first full weekend of every month up until December
K12 IncApril 12, 2012Did you know? At Liberty Science Center, you can see a movie at the nation's largest IMAX Dome Theater!
Anthony ChoulouteMarch 23, 2013The skywalk (part of the skyscraper exhibit) is an experience everyone should try.
J NSeptember 9, 2011I went here as a child and I thought it was awesome. Will definitly take my kids when they are ready. (Born and raised.)
TheParrisFoundationSeptember 16, 2011Great venue for kids to learn & explore with interactive, hands-on science! Check out the current exhibitions: http://bit.ly/py7wp4
DoraJuly 23, 2010After the museum closes at 5pm, the Science Center shows first-run and classic children’s movies in its 3-D and IMAX theaters. Powered by ParentsConnect.com
ajat tariyalMarch 1, 2011KIDTIP: If you live in Hoboken or JC near the light rail with a toddler then get Membership. Much cheaper than Kidville and Nanny can go.
Patrick MowrerApril 14, 2023Filthy, obviously, but situation is so dire there is not a single working hand sanitizer dispenser mid day and the bathroom looks like a bomb went off.
