This Doctor Seuss museum is part of a five museum complex. The Doctor Seuss museum is small but very entertaining, excellent for children. There is an outdoor Dr. Seuss sculpture garden which is enjoyable but not huge. We adults could cover that museum and sculpture garden in about an hour or so.

As art lovers, we pushed our way through the two art museums in about 2 hours, only because we had a rather tight time schedule... The collections range from Chinese body armor, ancient sculptures, 19th century American art, and lots more!

The science museum had nice exhibitions on dinosaurs, rocks and minerals, hey display on Africa featuring African plains animals, and life-size dioramas of northeastern American wildlife. Very nice.

The Springfield history museum was a very pleasant surprise, with information about the many businesses that arose in the Springfield area, including friendly's, Smith & Wesson, Indian motorcycles, the fact that Rolls-Royce's were manufactured for a while in Springfield, and much more. They have a large space for traveling exhibits--this one was on toys and games, which offered a full hands-on experience for children of all ages! Wish we had scheduled a little more time for this museum!
