  We had an awesome experience. My daughter and two granddaughters were here visiting from Missouri and they all loved it. They offered a military discount which was very much appreciated. They also had a live animal show with animals that are kept right there on site at the Perkins Wildlife Center and Woods Garden. And the museum was an awesome place overall. There was so much to see and learn. We had an awesome time!

  Excellent family experience. Might be a little trying with younger kids, but the exhibits are big, colorful, and well-portrayed, engaging the imagination of kids. The kids activity section in the basement is large, spacious, and has numerous activities for the kids to participate in. The new outside exhibit is sprawling, and laid-out well to keep visitors moving, while giving plenty of room for people to mull about and spend extra time seeing a specific animal, such as the always playful otters, or the elusive bobcat (always check out the walkway overhead, he loves to hide up there!)
