  This place is pretty neat. Definitely a place to bring kids. Interesting exhibits. Gift shops pretty nice, lots of good gifts. Make sure to step out on the deck. It's got a beautiful view of lake Champlain.

  I went here while visiting Burlington and it was very cool!!! The prices are good and there's a lot to see! I'd like to recommend seeing one of the movies, I saw the coral reef one and it was really cool!! The aquarium was awesome especially because I've never seen a sturgeon before! I would totally revisit this museum again sometime!!
