I could have spent all day in here! This place is jam packed with every kind of skeleton you can think of and you can touch all of those big ones on display in the middle! There is a rather large gift shop and admission is extremely reasonable at only $7.50. Definitely plan to spend a couple of hours here and bring your camera!
it was a fun way to waste some hours
This museum is interesting to children and adults alike. Plan to spend at least an hour here as there is plenty to look at.
5 Stars - what an interesting and different museum. The study of skeletons they do a great job. A small museum the packs a big punch
Never would have thought I would enjoy looking at skeletons so much. Very interesting and informative. Well worth the price of admission.
Very interesting. Admission is $8.
arrived with 10 minutes to spare and they had closed to doors early. was pretty upset :(
Everything was nicely displayed. Glad I made the detour. Kids enjoyed it. They even have a scavenger hunt for all ages, with a prize at the end.
literally hundreds of skeletons from elephants to rodents. really an astounding collection of bones.
the staff was really nice, the museum was clean and well laid out. took us about an hour to get through, but we could have spent longer. they offer a couple of different scavenger hunt worksheets for kids (and grown-up kids) to fill out as they walk through, and a neat hands-on area upstairs.
there's a AAA discount ($1 off), so ask for it.
