  • The museum isn't large but still a lot to see. We really enjoyed the space exhibits, and they had a cool aquarium section. The park that is connected to the museum was fun to walk around as well.

  • Need to get out the summer heat? This is a great place to visit and really keeps the kids attention! Friendly staff and great facilities! Will be back.

  • Fun museum, with a beautiful aquarium exhibit. I wish there had been more fossils and fewer video game exhibits, but I get it. However they had some really great pieces. The nature hikes behind the museum are gorgeous. Hopefully the water levels will be lower next visit, as there were several trails we could not explore.
  • I'm not gonna lie and say this is an all day, knock your socks off museum cause it's not, but it is amazing and totally worth it. We had 3 kids, ages 6, 8, and 12. They will enjoyed themselves. My son hasn't stopped talking about the two headed snake and my niece enjoyed the live animals, taking particular interest in a gator that apparently had a jaw injury at some point. My daughter thought the outdoor dinos was absolutely amazing. It will only take a couple hours to go though, but it was well curated and appealing to both the kids and adults in our group. With it being right next to a wonderful playground, it made for a great afternoon!
