| Review: |
 If
you're the type who likes science and technology museums, those places
that encourage hands-on interactivity and combine that philosophy with
more traditional museum-type displays, then you're going to like the
OSC.
It's a first-rate
science museum, with four floors worth of content in a fairly new facility.
It's got exhibits on dinosaurs, Florida's ecosystems, the human body,
physics and science, the solar system, computers, and science labs.
The exhibits aim
at all ages, meaning there are things to do for very young children
(just TRY to pry them away from the addictive machine that simulates
the packing up of harvested oranges), medium-age children, and older
kids. Adults are targeted only intellectually: science has to be your
thing, or you may be bored.
There's a giant-format
screen here for IMAX films, at extra cost. Ditto a planetarium, which
also has a laser show. Those costs could add up, but the admission itself
is reasonable, and a terrific way to beat the heat of a summer day in
Orlando.
