3 weeks agoFree days are on the second Tuesday of every month. It is very fun. My favorite exhibits are the scenes and the opossum. The fungi section is cool too. I would really recommend going there. I hate that they got rid of the firefighter section and made it a theater, tho.

in the last weekI loved the exhibits of dinosaurs and cats. Planetarium was very nice, the lighting from the projectors were quite dim. If brightened up it would make the planetarium experience much better.

6 months agoI went with my little brother to a school field trip! This was very informative of different animals, and the farm was cute. The Planetarium was just one small & short hallway. It's definitely more so for smaller children, but it still was a nice outing. I wouldn't go a 2nd time. I took some cute pics, though

7 months agoWe were in town for a weekend and found this gem A very eclectic collection. We had a nice day wandering through the exhibits. They had a little bit of everything from local history & geology to dinosaurs & snakes. There is no gift shop or cafe. There are vending machines on property. You may also leave and come back on your ticket so we were able to go get lunch nearby and return to finish our day. In addition to the museum there is a short trail, a barnyard and a Planetarium. The barnyard and Planetarium are an extra fee. Be sure to ask about the Planetarium show times when you arrive. They have different ones throughout the day. When we were there (October 2024) there is construction so you have to enter the parking lot off Burtonwood. There are signs so it is easy to find. If you are on Garrison Rd there is a parking area a short walk down the road just past the employee parking lot. Between the two options there is plenty of free parking available.

11 months agoSuper good museum with lot of life sized animals and dinosafari.This place has a small play area for kids,walking trials and a farm. Farm was not that great. Need some good maintenance. Museum was the best thing for small kids. My son loved it.Enjoyed watching all the animal exhibits and dinosaurs are the favorite thing. Would recommend for a one time visit.
