"A great place to explore behavioral economics. The whole interactive exhibition takes about 45min to look around and think deep. Highly recommend for passersby near loop. Remember to register in advance."

"A unique experience! I honestly did not know what to expect when visiting; however, if you enjoy trying to understand human behavior or filling time, this place if for you. It’s not a large museum, but you can participate in interactive behavioral science exhibits or become a participant of an active research study. All for FREE! We spent approximately 1.5 hours because one of my group participated in a study. Would recommend!"

"Very nice! The staff was super friendly and the exhibits were fun and mind opening. We also did an interesting study that kept me reflecting about. Also won some lama stuffed animals for our baby as a thank you for participating. Great afternoon :)"

"Fun and quick! You're likely already near this interactive experience so just go ahead and pop in! It was informative, interactive, and thought provoking. Easy visit - can spend an hour or less or more if you decide to participate in any research. You can make a reservation in advance if it's a popular time of year but we were able to walk in without a wait."
