I had a very good experience here as a young person. If you are feeling inspired to see some science then this is the place for you. I've been here multiple times and it is very interactive and it is a good place for older children, (averaged) puberty-aged, and teens. Little kids could enjoy it but I think that it is good to say that it is a place that older people and kids would enjoy better. Here are my opinions on the museum and my experience. Vocab: intelligible - able to be understood; comprehensible moot - subject to debate, dispute, or uncertainty scrupulous - (of a person or process) diligent, thorough, and extremely attentive to details 1. Nice Staff and Employees: The staff and employees in this place are very nice and friendly. They are trustworthy and my mother had no problem with them. 2. Understandable Science: The science showcases were really understandable and intelligible. I think it's great for older learners of science since it covers topics that you may learn in 7th grade and above and maybe a bit of 6th grade depending on your (home)/school's curriculum since topics such as genetics and theories of which I believe are untrue but lets not get too moot right now. The museum would actually be great for a school field trip since it correlates with the topics taught in middle and maybe high school which I have not reached yet. 3. Modern Interior and Design: If you know me personally at this time, you know I am heavily scrupulous when it comes to interior and a space's design. If you are planning on starting or thinking of a school, museum, or any sort of building then I suggest coming here. It is modern and the information is well organized. It is a very unique place for us citizens of Michigan. (of course 8th graders. We are all citizens of the US and not our own individual states.) It is special to us since it's not so common to see modern spaces up north so it really stands out. 4. Science & Information: It gives really good information you could learn from. Genetics, theories/experiments, biology, marine biology, geology, objects from space, dinosaurs, and embryology are the main topics in the building. My summary overall is that it is a great place for people with an imagination, ideas, and wonder. It is the dream place for people searching for a modern space or are design nerds like I. If you have older kids who are struggling to find a place appropriate for their age to enjoy, then bring them here. This may be a place worth coming too again. Fun Fact: Science museums have some of the largest collections of science, engineering, and math objects and exhibits. These exhibits can include the discovery of the light bulb and the Apollo capsule.

The University of Michigan Museum of Natural History is a must-visit for families with kids. The museum is packed with fascinating scientific models that are both educational and entertaining. The displays are well-designed, making it easy to understand and engage with the scientific concepts being presented. Whether you're a student, teacher, or just a curious individual, this museum is a great place to deepen your knowledge of science and scientific history.

The museum staff is knowledgeable and passionate about their collections, and they are more than happy to answer any questions you may have. Parking near the museum can be a bit of a challenge, but there are several parking lots nearby where you can park and take the elevator up to the ground level.
