As I recall, we were there for about 3 hours, which was just about right for us and our two energetic grands (ages 5 and 8). We lingered at a few exhibits and had time to stop of bathroom and water/snack breaks. I'd suggest gauging the amount of time to the kind of weather you have on the day of your visit. Most of the park is well-shaded. There's a snack concession but we suggest bringing water, as well. Have fun!
