If your into rocks fossils, petrified wood, and minerals this is the place to go. Is not a big museum which actually enjoy cause it seems more promising looking at the rocks and my 3 year old son...

We really enjoyed visiting this museum. Amazing collection.

The most extensive exhibit of petrified wood you will likely ever encounter. Many wonderful and unusual fossils to appreciate including a complete baby mammouth a clutch of dinosaur eggs and more. Quite a few mineral specimens and crystals of all sorts. Well worth your time to examine and share this free to the public exhibit with friends and family.
