We took my 2 nephews who are "tween age" 11 and 13, and while some of the things are definitely geared toward younger kids, they still found plenty of activities they enjoyed, as did my husband and I as adults. I think lots of the exhibits have "depth", meaning young kids like them because they are hands on, but adults like them because you can often go more in depth into the science behind it, like with a teenager. I would say for the price (one of the least expensive we've come across), it'd be worth it. I think they get something out of it.
