Price notesLSC's own ticketing pages did not render for text verification on 2026-11-05, and published third-party figures conflict ($29.99-$32 for an adult), so no official general-admission number is recorded and priceVal is null. Whether children under 2 are free was likewise not confirmed on lsc.org text.
Age notesFour floors of interactive science plus the Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium (the largest in the Western Hemisphere; planetarium shows are an add-on ticket). Dedicated early-childhood spaces serve toddlers while the climbing and engineering exhibits serve older kids. Just across the Hudson in Liberty State Park - one of two New Jersey entries in this metro set.
BookingTickets are sold online in advance; timed selection applies to planetarium shows and premium exhibitions.

ParkingOn-site parking lot; the per-car fee was not confirmed on official text fetched (secondary listings say about $7).
