Fantastic, Interesting- Large Dinosaur and animal exhibits, added with a very large and diverse history of Nebraska natural wonders. Very big museum 4 floors. If your history you'll be impressed.

Is indricothere / baluchatherium statue still there? It really impressed me as a kid.

State Museum of Natural History | Dec 17, 2021

Brian, thank you for your question. The Indricothere statue that you're remembering that used to exist in our Elephant Hall is no longer on display. However, we do have a huge Bison latifrons on the 4th floor that we recommend if you're looking for a new large creature favorite to check out while you're here.

James Hansen | Sep 14, 2019
Jaime Zorrilla | Sep 14, 2019

Yes, there is. The entrance fee is very inexpensive ($8 adults, $4 children). The planetarium is an extra fee. However, the museum alone has a lot too see, so we didn't even bother with the planetarium. See link for posted posted fees and visitors info: http://museum.unl.edu/museum_info/index.html

The museum sells the parking spaces to tailgaters on game days. Any recommendations on where to parkbro avoid paying the $25 game-day parking? Meters have a 2 hour limit. I found 10 hr meters but a bit of a hike to walk.

Rocio Esc | Sep 14, 2018
Niko Gavino | Sep 14, 2018

Try the 14th and Avery parking garage just north of the museum and rec center.

How is the parking, where is it and is it free?

Dracus | Sep 14, 2018
Mike McCombs | Sep 14, 2018

Parking is free. The parking lot is across the street in front of Morrill Hall
