Great natural history museum with lots of fossil and mineral specimens to see! A fun experience for anyone interested in paleontology. There's even a T-Rex!

Love this place! It's informal and personal. Learn and experience all of its stuff as you want. Our kids asked a million questions and the volunteer staff was so patient and helpful. Great place!

This museum boasts some fine paleontological,geological, and archaeological treasures. Unique jade carvings from finds and one of 2 (in the world) casted find from Montana featuring an abundance of fossils-if you want to know of what creatures-you have to visit! There is a sabortooth for kids to climb on, which is a great photo op. The museum is in a warehouse- but don't let that fool you- go on in for a good tour. They have casted fossils for sale in the gift shoppe! First I've seen that and I've been to a few natural museums. My kids are now proud owners of fossil casts of a Megaladon tooth and raptor claw. There are several types fossils to choose from. Well worth your time if you like natural museums or if you're looking for a way to introduce your younglings to paleontology, archeaology, and geology (they even have a rock glow room)! Free entry for MTSU students.

I really have no idea. I go to the business next door to the museum. They probably have a phone number on the internet or a website.
