International Wildlife Museum

You pay to be awed and educated however this museum teaches our children it's alright to snuff the life of and mount animals bodies or heads for our enjoyment. They claim ""all the animals found at the museum were donated by various government agencies, wildlife rehabilitation centers, captive breeding programs, zoos and individuals."" The reality is that the museum is the clever brainchild of Safari Club International, a group of wealthy hunters who find ""pleasure"" in accumulating kills and the accompanying trophies. According to one report, the club's lobbying efforts are targeted at undermining the intent of the Endangered Species Act in the name of ""conservation."" Aptly called the ""museum of death"" by its opponents, the museum has worked hard to acquire legitimacy since it first opened in 1998. But all the dioramas in the world don't compensate for the fact that taxidermy displays are a grotesque testament to human hubris and useless educational tools. more

My husband and I love animals. I really loved the museum. You have hands on; you can touch the actual animal horns, antlers and fur. This is really a great way to see the history of animals. Pros: touchable, inexpensive, hands on more

Nice place see read and learn about the exhibits has a pleasant atmosphere, worth the time to visit. more
