  This is a great place to take young children between the ages of 2 and 8 years old. Younger and older children can certainly enjoy many of the activities, but 3-8 is the sweet spot. While many of the areas focus on science and natural history, there are also exhibits/activity centers that encourage imaginative and open-ended play, which facilitates excellent early learning opportunities. My personal favorite room is the tree house where you can watch birds. It's a wooden room that has many windows, so you feel as though you are sitting in the trees among the birds.

  Very nice museum. Family friendly. Exhibits were clean and in good repair. The mini zoo was great! Your admission is good all day so you can leave for lunch and come back. Also includes some basic planetaruim shows.
