    The museum is very well done and an exciting place to visit! The exhibits are designed to allow maximum viewing ability. The labels are very educational. Staff are helpful in answering questions...

    Staff were amazing!! They were so welcoming, friendly and helpful. They would answer any and all questions you might have. There were three floors in total which was more then I anticipated. I personally liked the museum and I enjoyed seeing all of there collection.

    A must for people who like dinosaurs (and gemstones!)! Very nice staff, and amazing things to see. And it's free, which is wonderful! Highly recommend!
