A very cool place. The history of the local excavation of Diamond Lake was fascinating. The kids loved it and it took us about 2 hours to get through everything including the two movies and the interactive area at the back.

Everything a children's museum should be. I have always wanted to stop here and now I know why. Fascinating, super informative and fun. There are many interesting exhibits that were also interactive. Thoroughly enjoyable place to spend a few hours. The $9 price of admission was pretty cool too.

A wonderful small museum The exhibits are interesting and informative. My sons had a great time They loved making fossils from clay. Great little gift shop. Bought a few geodes for only ¢89 each! The Western Science Museum is well worth a visit.

The museum is a little small. But super interesting! It was fun for both adults and kids. They also have cool events on the first Saturday of each month in the courtyard. I highly recommend this place for an hour or two of fun for family and/or kids.

To add to the other answers, the water part of the museum is free. The part of the museum with the mammoth is the part you have to pay to get into.
