    This is a very interesting museum located in a beautiful location. The drive up is scenic even on a wintery day. It was a nice outing for 2 teens on a day off from school. We hadn't been in years and ...  more »

    Loved the displays, good for adults and child friendly. Anyone interested in dinosaurs, geology or wishing to increase their knowledge would love this. Liked it so much we purchased a membership.  more »

    Good place to know about the history of earth. The museum itself strives to mix science with fun activities but is on a somewhat smaller size.

    Great if you like fossils and dinosaur bones. But that is all they have. Could have had a little more variety.

    Nice museum, fairly empty the day I visited. Grandson enjoyed playing in the kid area with toy dinosaurs. The ice touching exhibit he also enjoyed. Aimed mainly at older kids, needs a bit more for youngest kids. Nice gift shop. Lovely bones.

    Amazing place for the size. Love the climate exibit as it gives real perspective about the topic that many do not discuss.
