Well maintained museum with friendly and helpful staff! Quite glad to see COVID protocols being implemented effectively. I had made an appointment online prior to my visit, however, they do take walk-ins as well, which may be limited based on occupancy. Planetarium is very good too, with decent sound quality and clear displays, with staff ensuring social distancing while assigning seats (always safer to book in advance). Watched the Cosmos Odyssey, which was added recently, which is informative and interesting even for adults! Had planned to visit the 3rd level where they have a Mummy display, but were told that museum would close soon after the planetarium show and so, missed that. Overall, a very good experience and kids would definitely love this visit.

This place is a gem. The quality of the hands-on exhibits and friendliness is the staff is incredible. They also change the content up sometimes so you can come again and again, while there is also enough consistency you find a lot of old favorite activities still there. Children's Landscape is especially for the 5 and under crowd with activities to foster development and exploration. (If you are there with multiple ages, older can go in with younger siblings). I wish they'd expand it a bit as I watched my usually super active 6 year old engaging gently and with more focus than his 3 year old brother. But there are similar materials and activities throughout the museum that both enjoy as well.

Wonderful place for all ages. Free admission and only $3 for the planetarium shows. Downtown location makes it easy to find. Third floor exhibits change every few months and are always interesting. Museum staff are knowledgeable and friendly. 2022 update: first visit since pandemic onset, and we appreciate the safety measures they have put in place to protect guests and staff. Planetarium show was fantastic and love that they have staff members located throughout the museum to help guide you and answer any questions. There are also lockers available and they are free to use, which was a nice surprise.

This museum is absolutelyy gorgeous :) my girlfriend and i travel around to collect squished pennies and was so happy to see this museum had a machine! Not only that but the building was extremely beautiful inside, clean, and had some extremely interesting stuff there that we didn’t know much about until we visited and learned. They also have this really gorgeous wall of old artifacts that you can zoom in on and learn about with the 2 tablets between floors, that is by far one of the cooler things i have seen in a museum. 10/10 would recommend going if you can!

Parking in the parking garage across the street made it easy especially when you are not from the area. It was a great place to learn about history in every aspect, it is very educational and interesting for all ages! The staff was helpful and kind and had no problems answering questions. The layout was interessting yet can be a bit confusing. A fun day for a family! And when you have more then one child it can become expensive very quickly so it was very nice that this was free. I'd recommend going here for everyone!
