REACH Museum

I was surprised to see how informative the museum was. It definitely exceeded my expectations. This is a great area to take school aged kids. It's a great way to learn about our local area!

The displays were amazing, but I was disappointed in the staff and the way they treated our group. The staff was grumpy, impatient and didn’t know how to interact with children at all. We specifically scheduled a field trip for our group of elementary and middle school aged children hoping for an amazing experience to teach this group of kids all about our area and it’s amazing natural resources. We were the only group in the whole facility, but the staff were very stringent on masks (we were told that those with medical exemptions were not allowed to come in), did not appreciate the kids visiting with each other even though the kids were being respectful and age appropriate, and when the younger children began to jump around on the open cement floor space, we were asked to take them outside. When a few of us moms took the little kids outside, the staff then came and criticized us for leaving our older middle school aged children inside without their parent, even though other group parents were with them. When we took our whole group outside, we ate a picnic lunch on the lawn and cement blocks. A staff member then came outside and scolded the children for sitting on the cement blocks and told them that she would be inspecting to see if there was any damage… to the cement blocks???? I will never bring my children back here ever again and I will strongly discourage any friends or schools from ever holding field trips here. It apparently is meant for only older adults who can either not speak the whole time or only whisper. It felt more like a staunch library than an engaging learning environment. Not suited for elementary or middle school students at all.

My little family had some fun looking at everything. And the staff was really friendly!

Interesting place to learn more about how energy works and they have 2 gallery exhibits.
