Me - The Raritan Valley Community College Planterium, wow!

 What I liked:
1) It was fun.
2) I liked the laser show.
3)I liked the music they played during the laser show.
4) I liked all the colors and lights.
5) The scavenger hunt was fun.

What I didn't like:
1) I didn't really like the story we heard. History doesn't interest me. I get enough of it in school.
2) It hurt my neck a little bit looking up.
3) Somethings I couldn't see even when I looked up. It hurt my head a little bit to look that far up and over.
4) Some of the patterns made me dizzy too.

Overall, it was a fun place to go.


Mom -

 What I liked:
1)  It was a good way for my kids to learn about the elements of the sky in a fun way.
2) There were two different scavenger hunts one for older kids and one for younger kids instead of having just one that would be too hard for some and too easy for others.
3) The lights and colors of the laser show were great.
4) The music of the laser show was great. It was a great mix of older stuff and more current music.

What I didn't like:
1) It is a little hard to look up for so long.
2) The spinning lights of the laser show made me a little dizzy at times. However, I have a tendency to get motion sickness and for people who don't this shouldn't be a problem.

Overall, it was great fun for the whole family.
