Dinosaur Discovery Museum — Attraction in Kenosha

This museum was amazing and it being in a historic building was an extra neat factor. Upon entering, a woman greeted us and gave us some information on the exhibits. We didn't realize entry was free but gladly did a donation. My four-year-old was in awe of the dino skeletons and especially liked the excavation video that played on the wall. The older gentleman that was cleaning stopped to chat with us and he really made our visit go above and beyond. Just very cheerful, welcoming and like a grandpa figure. I wish we would have caught his name. My daughter was so excited to talk to him about the bones and dinosaurs.

As we moved on, we came across the educational section with interactive elements for kids. There is a dig area that is temporarily closed - we can't wait to try that sometime! The lower level is an activity area. It includes a window to see real bones being worked on, which was awesome! There are dinosaur themed books and toys and tables for kids to color. The whole museum is very clean, well thought out and age appropriate. Adults and kids can equally enjoy a visit here.

Our last stop, naturally, was the gift shop. There's all sorts of trinkets and treasures. We left with a dino plush and soft figure for our five-month-old and a dino dig kit and figures for our four-year-old. The woman working in the gift shop was so kind and my daughter was tickled pink when she was given a sticker. We will absolutely be back and had so much fun on our family day...

While the toddler-friendly toys downstairs are great, it would be beneficial to include more activities that cater to older children. This could include interactive exhibits, educational games, or hands-on science experiments.

Paleontologist projects upstairs are fantastic! Consider expanding these projects or adding more themed activities that can engage children of various ages and interest levels.

the available space for family events would be a wonderful addition. Consider hosting themed nights, educational workshops, or seasonal events to attract more families and provide diverse experiences.

Adding interactive learning stations throughout the museum could engage children of all ages. These could include touch screens with educational games, science experiment stations, or art creation areas.

Encourage community involvement by inviting local educators, scientists, and artists to host workshops or give talks. This not only enriches the museum experience but also fosters community connections.

Set up a suggestion box or an online feedback form to gather continuous input from visitors. This will help in understanding the needs and preferences of the community better and making necessary improvements.

While the museum being free is wonderful, promoting the donation option more visibly could help in gathering funds for these enhancements. Highlighting how donations contribute to new exhibits and events might encourage more...

Great time at the Dino Museum, until the gift shop. Karen who works in the gift shop completely overstepped as decided to scold my child over a $5 sucker. He dropped it and I seen it happen, as any child world say "I don't want this anymore", before I could say no we are buying that one because you dropped it Karen jumps out of her chair to say "Well you dropped it so you have to buy it!" Excuse me, this is my child. Do not try and parent my child. "Well I can't sell a broken sucker". Calm down Karen! Its a $1.00 sucker at actual cost that yall charge $5 for profit. I will buy the sucker that was dropped, as for you over stepping not acceptable. She continued to justify why she is being so rude. I checked out with my $23.00 order when I should have said no thank you to everything. I asked for her managers info to make my complaint as her whole attitude changed to smug as nothing will happen. "You sure can", "Do you need a bag?" "Anything else?" No Karen. Now getting home, my child said " I never want to go back there, and I don't want that sucker anymore." I know buddy, and I'm sorry we went too. So I called Dawn DeLine "her manager" to make my complaint. If anyone else encounters Karen defend your child as I did mine. Not...
