Frommer's Review
A must-see for kids of any age is this tantalizing collection of interactive exhibits and rides designed to provoke the imagination and teach scientific principles. The Virtual Zone features a 23-passenger motion simulator that offers virtual-reality rides with a scientific bent. The Fleet also houses a 76-foot-high IMAX Dome Theater (the world's first) showing films so realistic that ocean footage can actually give you motion sickness. Every Friday evening, four different IMAX films are shown in succession. The Fleet also has a spiffy planetarium simulator powered by computer graphics. Planetarium shows are the first Wednesday of each month at 7pm ($8.50 adults, $7 seniors and kids 3-12).

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
