    It was actually a really cool Museum. It's not a huge Museum, but if you stop and read all the exhibits and watch the movies it'll probably take you about two hours to go through. When you get to the second floor there's two or three interactive computer screens on the wall, they have some really cool information that you can explore. Make sure you keep some of your mind at attention when you get up there. And ride the 3D cycle Adventure. There was cool

    The staff here were exceptionally friendly. The exhibits were visually interesting with the perfect balance of information to display. There were several interactive exhibits that brought the history to life upstairs. I will definitely be going back to finish viewing all of the things there.
