Went as a chaperone for my kids class. The museum was nice and very well kept and organized. The kids all loved it. Finished the day across the street seeing the play "Bud not Buddy". Very nice little production. I will be going back with my son when we have more time.

Fun and something to learn for the whole family! Videotopia is a great display... We have been twice already and plan to go again. Membership to this museum is well worth it!

The secret needs to get out about this museum! It's a great place for the family. Friendly staff and huge exhibits... lots of things to do and play with for the kids. My kid loves going there and so do I. Clean, interesting and fun. Great history lessons for people of all ages.

Went on a weekday and they weren't crowded. It was great, thoroughly enjoyed all the exhibits. Was able to mosey through and not feel rushed to get out of the way. Interactive activities, geared for children were entertaining. Best place in Flint for seniors, families with children to enjoy a day out.

Took out of town sister for all of our first visit to the Sloan. WONDERFUL experience. We have lived in Flint for over 28 years and never knew most of it's history. The extra exhibit about the colonies was also enjoyable. we all LOVED it.

Enjoyed visiting the museum. A lot of history and some great input from some of the "old timers" who work there. Small but well organized and full of memorabilia.

We we here for the grossology exhibit and it was very very busy. It was very hard for the kids to do any of the hands on activities because of so many kids trying to do the same thing. The grossology exhibit was made out to be this huge exhibit and in reality it was just a little room of stuff to do. The kids did have fun but wish it could have been a little bit bigger, and more of the museum not just the one room.

We took our daughter here and enjoyed the Space exhibit. There were lots of hands on activities and plenty of fun even for the adults. We actually bought a Family pass so we could go back later in the year and utilize all that it has to offer.

I have visited museums across the country, and the Sloan is one of the best. Their exhibits are fun, entertaining, and interesting. It's great to see places where families can have fun together.

The Sloan Museum is located in the Flint Cultural Center. It has many exhibits detailing the history of Flint. We spent the night there for a Girl Scout outing so we had hands-on participation with many of the exhibits. When we were there the main exhibits were the Bugs! and the Pierson Doll Collection, both of which were amazing. The great thing about this museum is the diversity of the exhibits, which they are constantly adding to. And quite a few of them are hands-on exhibits. You can hear the phone ring and talk to someone from the UAW sit-down strike in 1936. You can view and live a day in the life of a dinosaur, play in a grocery store or follow the history of Flint in every aspect from the 1950's to present day. And cars! Any automobile lover will be fascinated by the antique cars on exhibit. A great place for the family to spend a Saturday!

The current SPACE exhibit, from NASA should not be missed! In this exhibit, you can touch a moon rock, ride a centrifuge, see real NASA artifacts and stuff from space. Admission is now $9 a person but you can buy a "share-a-pass" yearly membership that allows you UNLIMITED admissions to this museum, The Buick Gallery, the Longway Planetarium, and hundreds of museums in the ASTC reciprocal program, all for just $40. WOW!!!

An excellent and diverse selection of antique, classic, and special interest cars on the beautiful Flint Cultural Center campus. The annual auto show in June is one of the highlights of the summer in Genesee County Michigan. The Sloan Museum and the Buick Gallery is also open and included in the entry fee, an excellent value,

A grand history of the auto industry and much more. The founding of GM. Presently there is a living history exhibit of Michigan during the Civil War.. There is an auxiliary museum depicting all the cars ever made in Flint. All in all a great place to visit.
