I liked the ball pit, the “unknown atmospheres” (light show), happiness exhibit, and trampoline exhibit upstairs. I got there first thing (11:00) Thursday morning on an off-season and has most of the exhibits to myself. Spent over 30 minutes in the ball pit reading. Great little exhibit for a date, families with young kids, or single adults who like pretty lights. Also, their drink menu was nice and you can walk around the exhibits with one. I enjoyed their non-alcoholic ‘starlit friends’.
