How long does a visit to the Maryland Science Center take?

This is an extremely interactive museum. I'd say the majority of the exhibits are aimed towards children aged 5 to 12. We were there for around 2.5 hours and certainly didn't see everything, but we spent a lot of time at the Dinos and on the third floor. It's a little costly, but then again, so are most museums.
