Little Beakers Science Lab For Kids

This is a fun place for kids, because they get to do exciting science experiments. My kids loved creating slime, making fake colorful snow, exploding a Coke, and writing a secret message on a piece of paper.
The only negative thing that I didnt like is that the place is small, and it can get crowded, so you might have to wait for a lab area to be free. There are separate lab areas scattered throughout the place, and each one has different science experiments that you follow in your lab book.
My 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son had a lot of fun, but my 2 year old daughter was too small to enjoy it. So, this basically is a place for older kids.

Had a lot fun with all the different experiments and the best part is that you don’t even have to clean up. Just drop everything in their skins. It’s great!

Very cool place for the kids. Go for the 2.5hrs though. I thought that 1 hour would be plenty but we didn’t even do 4 experiments in that time. We wanted to stay longer ;)

Whoever thought of this concept is genius! Looking for something different to do with your kids? This is it. It’s fun and educational. I took my daughter and son for her birthday and while we were there it was a couple of birthday parties going on. The staff really engages the guest in fun science projects and they have party rooms located in the back.
Upon entry kids are draped in little white lab coats and eye protective wear. I must warn you that this is not a place to bring your kids and think you will sit back pretty while they play. The kids need your help to complete all experiments! Science was not my favorite subject in school so I wasn’t enthused about reliving the past! However, anything for my babies… they loved it:)

We went without having much information and I would say if you only have an hour or if you can set aside a whole afternoon, GO! Kids absolutely loved it, and learned a lot.
I was impressed with the organized stations and helpful staff.
The first step is putting on a lab coat and safety glasses. Then you are given a lab book with several experiments for each of the 6 sections. You get to choose what you do, and everything you need is in the section, clearly marked.
We made smoke, created a tornado, created an explosion, measured density, fabricated a heart, made beach bubble gum, shot a rocket we created, created snow, made salt & pepper dance, and so much more.
I can’t wait to go back! I mean, er, I can’t wait to take the kids back. :-)

I took my 8 year old son here, we had a blast ! Always wanted to drop a mentos candy in a coke bottle and we got to do it here in a controlled environment. Lots of other fun activities, initially used Unilocal deal for an hour and we ended up upgrading to 2 hours cause he had a good time

Great experience for my 5 children! Very hands on and fun. Would have appreciated a little more help from staff, but overall good experience!

Very fun for kids. You actually spend more time there than you think, just go for the unlimited. By the time you finish 2 experiments it’s already an hour. Keeps them off the iPad.

If you are looking for a fun activity to do with your kids, look no further. Upon entering you are given goggles and a lab coat (well the kids are) and a binder full of experiments to choose from. The various labs (science tables) are named after famous scientists. You can weigh at any station, unless there is a party going on. We had two 3 year olds, and one 10 year old in our group, and all three lived this place. They made goo, slime, explosions, smoke, and all kinds of fun stuff. You can take home anything that you make, like slime or goo. We paid $ 10 for an hour, I felt it was enough, but the kids definitely wanted more time. $ 16 for unlimited time.
I agree with some of the reviewers, though. The owner seemed a little frazzled by all the activity (business) they had. She seemed stressed out. But, I don’t think I’d deduct any stars for that, because the kids will still have a wonderful time.

What an ingenious concept for children — a combination of fun and learning all in one! I drove by the center one evening with my husband, and the name of the place really stood out to me so I immediately Googled it when I got home. I love the fact that the owner has a background in science and has translated it into educating children while they interact with their parents or loved ones.
I took my two-​year-​old nephew here on a Sunday afternoon, and we had a blast! Watching the excitement in his eyes as we conducted each of the experiment brought so much joy to me. I like the fact that we had quite a number of experiments to choose from (30 of them) and that they only took about ten minutes to go through. All the supplies, ingredients, and materials were nicely marked and easy to find. The four stations were visibly marked and plenty of working space in each station. There were children of all ages there with two birthday parties going on so a bit chaotic but in a good way.
The negatives — The girl who checked us in looked like she wished she was somewhere else other than at work that day. She was robotic in explaining the process. I think there should be more lab assistants available to help those who have never been there before. I had to look around for several minutes before I got some help, and they should wear something that makes them stand out from the others who are already wearing lab coats.
I am definitely coming back with my nephew and telling my friends about Little Beakers!

This is a neat place and the kids like it. But they lack basic safety supplies. My daughter was here for a birthday party and had a chemical splashed in her eye. The staff member had no idea what to do. She got the owner. I asked the owner where the eye wash was. He said they didn’t have one and just use the sink. He then slammed his office door. He was completely rude and unconcerned with the fact that my daughter’s eye was stinging.
The absence of the eye wash is not only an OSHA violation for the employees who work there, it is also a safety risk for the kids attending events there.
If you are running a science lab for kids you should be properly prepared to treat emergencies.

Came for the first time today. What a wonderful concept. The experiments were both well organized and well written. We had a wonderful time and my daughter got great hands on science on a rainy day. We definitely will be back.

The concept and execution of Little Beakers is fantastic! They provide the ingredients, tools, and instructions needed for experiments. My 3 year old loved being able to collect all ingredients, measure things out, stir and create.
I have a BIG issue: I don’t think they are ready to deal with the influx of business that comes from no school in summer and selling hundreds of Groupons. The place was extremely packed. We spent a good amount of our hour looking for the only container of little foam balls or finding another stool after someone had taken ours, again, or finding someone to help us make sure we are using the tools correctly. I hope they hire more help and make more than one container of essential ingredients available.
Overall, a great place. Expect a bit of chaos and elbowing to occur.

Too much science education is lecture-​based rather than hands on, so I was thrilled to find this place for my children, ages 8 and 10. We spent an hour doing experiments on explosions and reactions. Since there are 20 experiments from which to choose, we still have quite a few remaining (properties and polymers, I think) for our next visit to the science lab.
It is much more fun and convenient to blow things up or create gases in a lab instead of in my kitchen where I would have to worry about cleaning up ingredients from the walls, floors, or furniture.
Highly recommended.

We have been here a few times but this was a first for a birthday party. It was so much fun! Very organized and the kids got to blow stuff up and make huge bubbles. You could see their little brains thinking! They have fantastic summer camps.

I know this place recently opened, but am still surprised that no one Unilocaled it yet-​especially given how many kids were there when we went. I took my two stepsons, ages 9 & 12, here on a Friday afternoon for their open lab and they loved it! I only paid for an hour, and they did not want to leave-​next time we go I will have to pay the little bit extra for the unlimited lab time. This place is set up very well for kids to have fun while learning! Each child is given a lab book with about 20 experiments in it for them to try. The book and the lab were divided into four categories-​explosions, reactions, properties and… I can’t remember the fourth. There are microscopes set up in the middle of the room and there will soon be lap tops. There is also a toddler play area that looked nice. My kids are big enough that they could do, and wanted to do, the experiments on their own-​just sharing with me the slime they made or their explosions-​but parents are encouraged to experiment along with the kids, especially the younger ones, for free. There was also a summer camp going on while we were there (they were making volcanoes). There were a couple of staff people there to help with questons or refill ingredients that ran out, they were very nice and available when needed. Their website says they bring in new experiments every month and we will definitely be back. I love it when kids have fun with science! Highly recommended family/​child activity.
