Linda’s Take

So this time I thought that we would try something that was only going to be around for a short time and noticed at MOA they had a CSI hands-on experience going on.

So Jason and I tried it.

I thought the price was ok for doing some science crime stuff, we went in and the tutorial at the beginning said to note everything from the crime seen down, so we both took a lot of notes. Then you go to process the evidence, you don’t process anything. Basically you read through everything and choose the best answer. Anyone with common sense can get the right answers.

In all it was fun, but I feel that the whole thing is geared around someone for the ages of 10 to 15. I wouldn’t spend the money to do it again, however if my 14 year old would like to go, I would bring him.

I give it a 3 out of 5 pants off.

Jason’s Take

Linda’s too generous.   It doesn’t require common sense to get the right answers.  If you can read the plaques on the wall in the “lab”, you can get it right.

I was hopeful.  It was such a fun concept, but it was geared to 8 year olds who want to pretend they are in Mommy’s favorite show, not adults.  There’s no puzzle to solve.  One of the “labs” involved pushing eight different buttons until you found the one that didn’t turn on a white light.  Ooh, orange!  I win!

Sad, but I’d take our kids to it and they’d have fun.
