I went to this place a few times when I was a kid, and always loved it. the nature exhibit they have is awesome and all of the staff are too. I brought my daughter here today, not crowded at all! My daughter enjoyed the exhibits in the science museum especially the kitchen area. The nature center was my favorite! The 2 gentleman and women are so nice! Oliver is hilarious (the bird) the cave downstairs is super cool and all of the animals cages are well taken care of. My daughter loved the turtles and snakes they have on exhibit, and the little play center for toddlers is adorable. We didn’t go on the train or the playground due to the extreme heat but Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something FREE and fun! Donations are always accepted here!

This is a great spot for kids to explore. It also is a great spot for camping. The staff at at nature place were very nice and they have a bunch of reptiles and some chinchillas and flying squirrels. They also had a talking bird.The people there were so nice they helped us out since out generator went on out ac in the camper. Can't fine help like that anymore. They were the most helpful men even offered to give us their own to borrow. Thank you for a great experience.

The cutest little place! My kids had a blast! A few of the exhibits could use a touch-up from years of being so loved! But my kids had absolutely no complaint. The planetarium show was just long enough that the kids didn't lose attention. There's a GREAT playground outside of the center as well!

Drove 1.5 hours to see the planetarium after calling that day before to make sure they were open only to be told the projector has been put for a month and they're is no show. At least update your web site. Place is run down, any grossly outdated.
