Char D.  –  “My son absolutely loves this place! The lady doing the science experiment show did an amazing job! We got to pet a snake and the stingrays. All the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Fun virtual reality they have at certain times throughout the day.”
Paul M. –  “I found this place so fascinating and plenty of things for my six year old to do!  Interesting Ft. Myers history, artifacts, reptile and sea exhibits, a science presentation and movies played in the big theater.  A must see in the area!”
Gabriella S. –  “The IMAG is a wonderful little museum with something for every science lover. They cover a variety of fields including outer space, physics, paleontology, Florida history, marine science, and biology. The stingray touch tank and feeding were the highlights for me. There were also several fascinating demonstrations, including planetary trivia/education and hissing roach petting.”

Kristen P. –  “Great place for birthday party! They do everything & all I was responsible for was the cake. We chose the “science” theme & the kids were led in a few experiments. The room decor was cute. The pizza & lemonade were great. The staff was AMAZING. They had our 2 hours scheduled out perfectly. All of the guests enjoyed their experience at the IMAG. I highly recommend hosting your child’s birthday here.”
