They have a little scavenger hunt the kids can do which my granddaughter loved and ended up with a little prize at the end. We spent about two hours here which was a perfect way to spend some time waiting for the typical keys rainstorm to clear.

great collection, displays are nice but a little cluttered, tons of information here, allow yourself some extra time. admission pricing is fine but gift shop needs some adjustment. Kinda hard to make an additional donation when you just paid that much for a t-shirt!
