It’s been many years since I have been here , we brought 3 kids , ages 6,7 & 8. This was a huge disappointment. As the first floor seemed to have more the kids enjoyed I believe it was geared towards smaller children. The downstairs was a huge disappointment as half the interactions didn’t work or worked partially. I remember there being so much more interactive stations. Now it’s just tables with buckets and blocks. This place has really gone down hill. Not with the money or time. This place has the potential to be great , it just needs an upgrade. Take it back to how it was when it was in strawberry square. As a kid , that was the best place to go and for a school field trip. May have been smaller but it had the nearest hands on science learning opportunities.

Like previous reviewers have stated, the Science Center, returning Saturday with my grandsons after a long absence, found the center to be tired looking and disappointing for two 12 yr olds. Don’t think one can blame COVID on everything but we found the staff to be friendly but minimal in number, smaller number of exhibits than before plus several were not working. While they really enjoyed certain exhibits, overall it was a somewhat less than exciting experience. The exhibits there were all ones I remember from 5+ yrs ago. A place has to stay refreshed and reinvent itself if you expect to keep the interest of the public. My grandsons had enough in 1 hour.
I asked them about seeing one of the IMAX movies, many of which haven’t changed in years, but they weren’t interested. I couldn’t even interest them in the gift shop as that disappeared. Not sure I’ll be back.

We took our niece to the Science Museum about 3 years ago and she loved it. Took her again over the holiday. It'll be our last visit, unless we're absolutely desperate to entertain a child. They reduced the exhibits and the amount of space. Several exhibits were not functioning. This facility has definitely seen better days.

We took three young girls to the Center and they had a great time. They especially liked sock skating. There was a variety of activities and hands on experience. They had fun with the various weather experiences. We had a great day.

Thanks for the review! We're thrilled you had a great time and hope to see you back again, soon. There are two brand new exhibits you may want to check out on another visit: Bricksburg and Toys: The Inside Story.

Recommend using the Parking Garage @ 258 Walnut St, Harrisburg, PA 17101. ($6 pr hr) Hilton is off Elevators at level A, also shared by Whitaker Center, dropping you in at the Mezzanine level of concert venue (access to steps/elevator inside Whitaker, for Orchestra level seating)
(Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts address, although it's attached to the garage: is
222 Market St, Harrisburg, PA)

Short and sweet. Good show terrible time after show. Two parking kiosks for the mass of people leaving show. We were all packed together! $15 to $30 for parking!
One elevator working. Again, mass of the crowd pushing to get on. We got smooshed when we got on. 18 people on one small elevator. We were like sardines. Could not move. Elevator got stuck. Took an hour to get us out. My wife has health problems. Difficult to stand that long. Many others having high anxiety. Fire personnel helped us out since we were between floors.
Once off had to get to car on 9th floor. No help from parking personnel to get me up to that level. Had to walk the steep steps. 70 year-old out of breathe and heart hurt. Finally made it.
Never again to Whittaker Center. Civil action warranted.

Saw a concert with my daughter here and it’s a great, intimate venue. Sound system was fabulous, looked like not a bad seat in the house! I wasn’t happy with the parking situation, parked at a garage and ended up being a $30 stay for a few hours at a concert. That part sucked. Also a lot of homeless in the area of the garage so didn’t feel like the safest place to be.
Overall the Whitaker center(what we saw of it) was very nice. I will return hopefully and see the science center with the kids, in the daylight hours

Visited Harsco Science Center with my 12 year old daughter. After "renovation" Science Center became smaller and KidsPlace also had been downsized. $16 for adult and $12 for a child is expansive for what you get. No new exhibits, Christmas lights only partially working, not even a Wi-Fi! Impression you get is they don't want to invest an extra penny in kids’ education, only collect money. Nothing on the third floor other than overpriced gift shop. Was considering membership but no-way after this visit. There is really nothing to do there. Gave 3 star because my daughter had an Ok time there, but no reason to return.

I was able to take my niece and other family members to a movie at the IMAX Theatre, which was a very enjoyable place to watch a movie with action and dramatic sounds.

We took our Grandson to the science center a couple of weeks ago and were disappointed at the price vs. the number of exhibits that were not functioning. They need to tell you this before you pay the entrance fee or maybe offer an automatic discount.
Our Grandson, who is 9, did seem to enjoy the ones that were operational. I thought that the "Inside a hurricane" exhibit was especially educational.

Where can you park. Is there a lot for this museum?
Rédigé le 24 mars 2018
I don’t believe there is any specific lot. There is on street parking that is limited and you have to pay for that unless you go Sunday or after 5. There are also multiple parking garages in the area you can utilize. I know there is a public parking garage off of N 2nd st in the 200 block on the left hand side.

I would recommend it for slightly older kids. There are things to do and if they are tagging along for siblings' sake, yes. But it's not worth it just for them. Wait until after at least 2, then they'll start fitting in more. :-)

Would this science center be appropriate for a 12 & 14 yr old? Or would the State Museum of Pa be better for older kids? Any suggestions I only have a day to spend in Harrisburg. Thanks in Advance.

I took my 10-year old to the Science Center, and she really enjoyed it. So did I, and I am a middle school and high school science teacher. The center has displays and interactive areas that will appeal to the younger crowd, but also interest 5th, 6th and 7th graders too. High school students may find it too elementary.
