I really loved the outdoor rolling ball exhibit. Spending some time there made for a nice break before heading back inside - keeps the kids entertained!

Don't skip the live science demonstrations; they were super engaging and fun! I think it’s worth checking the schedule ahead of time to plan around them.

Grab lunch outside the museum if you can. The food inside looked overpriced, and a quick walk to a nearby café had better options for less.

If you want the best photo ops, I think right before closing time, around 4 PM, is ideal. The light is beautiful, and the place is mostly empty then!

I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can. The weekends can get really busy and you're gonna want to take your time exploring the village without the crowd.

I suggest visiting on a Tuesday or Wednesday; it's way less crowded and you'll get more time to enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed. I went on a Saturday and it was a bit overwhelming with all the people.

I recommend spending some time in the café there. They have great coffee and snacks and it's a perfect break spot. I didn't plan for it so I ended up feeling drained walking around
