MiSci Summary
Misci is our favorite museum in the Capital District located in Schenectady, NY about 20 minutes from Albany, NY.
The supermarket, while small, is always a big hit and the receipt even prints out.
There’s a large water table that the kids also enjoy and a bubble area as well where you can create a bubble around yourself. An area filled with large foam Lego blocks to build a fort that can fit a few kids is also an activity we often do when visiting.
While the Museum is small there are rotating displays that make every visit different. We have visited when they had a Dinosaur Exhibit that included a few moving dinosaurs. They also had a science day where they had a bubble guy come in and do amazing things with bubbles and included the kids in parts of the show. The same even also had several reptiles and animals on display and to pet. If you are in the Capital District (Albany, Schenectady and Troy, NY), This is the top museumin the area to visit with kids.
