🚨Follow us for more fun content🚨 🗺️Children’s Science Center lab is located in Fairfax, VA‼️ 💡The Children’s Science Center is Northern Virginia’s first interactive museum where children, families and school groups can explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts through fun, engaging hands-on exhibits, activities, and programs‼️ 🚪The museum is open weekends and school holidays with 3 timed entries sessions on open days. The sessions are 2 hours long. Strongly recommend purchasing tickets online and you can also save $2 dollars when buying online. 🙌Both of my kids had so much fun there! There is a soft play area for the little ones and tons of other activities for the older kids. 🔬The best part for me was that we could easily get help with the projects around the lab. We did so many experiments and Noah is already asking when we can go back there. 📲Follow them at @childscicenterlab for their latest updates and tips‼️ ▶️Address: 11948L Fair Oaks Mall Fairfax, VA 22033 #dmv #dmvarea #maryland #mdinfocus #marylandmoms #dmvthingstodo #virginia #washingtondc #loveva #virginiaisforlovers #virginiamom #science #sciencelab #lab #visitvirginia #childrensmuseum @Children’s Science Center Lab

This place is pretty expensive but it’s a good alternative to taking your kids to one of those indoor play places which are also pretty expensive. Here at least you get the STEM educational experience out of it. However, this place charges for adults which is annoying. We ended up just getting a membership. It pays for itself if you are going to visit more than twice in a year. It’s a bit small but they have plenty of activities to entertain the kids for an hour. We have a 4 yo and a 2 yo. The 4 yo gets much more out of it but that’s okay. The experiment bar is fun to do hands-on science experiments but I wish they would change them up a bit more often. Same with some of the activities in the back room like the hover craft building activity. They love seeing and petting the live snakes!

We were visiting the area. Children's Science Center Lab participates with our home science center, so we stopped in. The timed tickets were great! We were there on a Sunday morning. An employee checked people off of the list before opening. It was very efficient. The space isn't enormous, but very well organized. The employees are helpful and friendly. The experiment bar was fantastic. There are different experiments to choose from. Each experiment comes with a kit and directions on an ipad. It was self directed, but the employees were there to help and offer suggestions. All of the hands-on activities were wonderful. We were there for about an hour. Will visit again.

Great place to pick a station and just do something STEM-related. Employees are very friendly. Parents getting involved is so good for bonding too. I asked her, how would we make this bigger? which piece? and we had a blast. (pic) but there are little DIY build kits from models to basic robotics. Its a pretty big place. Get a membership and it's the perfect place to go on a rainy day or with a buddy on a playdate all year round. or whenever the kiddo is bored. I never feel guilty because everything is so hands-on-sciency. Love this place.
