Took my 2 year old niece this afternoon and she absolutely loved it. I haven't been since I was little and not much has changed. The employees are amazing. Only thing I wish is more exhibits being open but either way the trip was well worth it. Cafe food was pretty decent as well

This is a solid Museum with a reasonable entrance fee. You can pay extra to see the rotating special exhibit. It was a space exhibit when I went. There's also a cafeteria. I think you could safely plan on spending 2-3+ hours here. I liked that there were a lot of things that you could touch such as a rock from the Moon and an old Mastodon bone that had been cut by old human tools. A lot of areas were closed however including a theater, a planetarium, and an outside area. The only other negative is that I didn't feel like there was a lot of detail on the exhibit descriptions, not a lot of in depth information. I usually learn more when I go to museums. This Museum was still fun and the kids liked it. I'm giving it four stars because there are other five star museums around such as the Henry Ford and the DIA. Worth a visit though for sure.

Great place to go to with family and or friends. A lot of fun and interesting things to do and see. Good for adults and especially kids. The staff was very kind and helpful even very informative on all kinds of subjects. Masks required and they were also very clean there was always access to hand sanitizer.

Joan Kossman | Jan 1, 2020

Yes. When I was there, they stamped my hand with an ink marker (if I recall correctly) and I was free to leave and return.

Is the dinosaur exhibit in the basement worth the extra charge?

David Lee | Jan 1, 2020
Steve Sc | Jan 2, 2020

It's ok. Look for deals or try to go with a group to cut costs. My scout's did an overnight so it was worth it to us.
