    We really liked this museum. It’s small but the walking trails are nice and the aquarium section is great! We are planning to return in the late spring to see everything in full bloom

    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.

    Great museum for my 10 year old to go to on Spring Break! They had changeable exhibits and the one we saw was about video game history! The outdoor space was amazing, with several paths to take you around the back of the museum or all the way to to Pearl River! Everyone was helpful and friendly!
