Dinosaur Discovery Museum, Kenosha

This museum was amazing and it being in a historic building was an extra neat factor. Upon entering, a woman greeted us and gave us some information on the exhibits. We didn't realize entry was free but gladly did a donation. My four-year-old was in awe of the dino skeletons and especially liked the excavation video that played on the wall. The older gentleman that was cleaning stopped to chat with us and he really made our visit go above and beyond. Just very cheerful, welcoming and like a grandpa figure. I wish we would have caught his name. My daughter was so excited to talk to him about the bones and dinosaurs. As we moved on, we came across the educational section with interactive elements for kids. There is a dig area that is temporarily closed - we can't wait to try that sometime! The lower level is an activity area. It includes a window to see real bones being worked on, which was awesome! There are dinosaur themed books and toys and tables for kids to color. The whole museum is very clean, well thought out and age appropriate. Adults and kids can equally enjoy a visit here. Our last stop, naturally, was the gift shop. There's all sorts of trinkets and treasures. We left with a dino plush and soft figure for our five-month-old and a dino dig kit and figures for our four-year-old. The woman working in the gift shop was so kind and my daughter was tickled pink when she was given a sticker. We will absolutely be back and had so much fun on our family day out. Thank you!

Staff is soooo friendly, they have an amazing gift shop for dinosaur lovers and it's free!!! You can't beat that. It is a nice escape from the heat and has some great activities and books available for you little one. Definitely on the smaller side so about 2 hours is plenty but we were not disappointed
