Perfect for my almost 5 year old and me (way past 5 years old). We spent about 3 hours here with a snack break. He loved Dinosaur Hall. The Snow Dinosaurs exhibit was exceptional! The animatronics and lifelike skin made this very engaging for all of us. Go early if you don't mind navigating through groups of school field trips. Go later if you really want it quiet. Library passes get you in for free and provide a discount on parking.

I went for Dino’s after dark and it was a blast!!! Me and my friend had such a wonderful time! The exhibits were amazing extensive and we got to learn about ancient animals, dinosaurs, and fashion. I even learned about a bird that could only swim, I didn’t know that was possible!! Dinos after dark was an excellent place experience, I’ve told all of my far away friends and family about it and they are jealous! Even my local friends were said they missed it.

Very nice museum and so kid friendly! They have a kids room on level 3 where kids can hold bugs. We really liked the new ice dinosaur exhibit. Employees are super friendly too! We’ll definitely be back!

We had a great time here. This museum is definitely has some fantastic opportunities for young children and some of the most comprehensive dioramas that I've ever seen. Staff was all extremely helpful and knowledgeable. My absolute favorite was the "Fast Fashion" exhibition. I learned so much with this one!

Very nice museum , but shame on them for the live animals they gave . Their enclosures have the bare minimum . The poor turtles enclosure are depressing and I’m sure they have the means to give them better . Do better !
