First, I am spoiled when it comes to science museums. I grew up in St Louis where there is a very large, mostly free science center. MOSi does well. The new kid friendly center is very cool. There are many hands on exhibits in an open space. The walls are even lined with family restrooms. The main section of MOSI was a little disappointing. There were not very many hands on exhibits that worked. Many were just plaques to read and many were broken. Even so, my family spent 4 hours there and had to drag my daughter away from the kids section. I did not see many employees except at the ticket counter and a couple that were doing presentations. Additional staff may be the key to keeping the exhibits functional.
