I did a guided tour with Riley, he was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, it was informative and fun! I had a lot of questions and even with juggling multiple groups, he answered all my questions to the best of his ability. The exhibits themselves are really fascinating and there is a good variety, though it is a condensed showroom. The staff was friendly and kind!

This museum was insane! I was worried it would be very elementary and wow was I wrong! We were ushered immediately into the museum section where Riley, a very kind & knowledgeable App Student, answered all of my questions and took the time to really show us the exhibits. Don’t let the size of this place fool you, we circled it at least 5 times and found something new every time. The proprietor was lauded by his employees and that says a lot about the way he runs his business! You could actually see items that were being cleaned up from excavation and the docents were able to answer questions. We were also helped by Issac, also a student and scientist, who was kind enough to help me find the correct long necked dinosaur in the gift shop(for my nephew)! This place is a must if you are adults with or without children! Thank you all for the wonderful experience!

The kids had a wonderful time! Daniel who checked us in was very helpful and friendly. EO who helped us with our rock findings was very knowledgeable, and was able to teach us while keeping our kids interested.
