Children will love it! 5/9/2008

I recently visited here with toddlers and managed to keep them there for nigh on three hours -- anybody who has toddlers know that's a miracle! The different floors made it exciting and they LOVED ""Inside Out"" which was the special children's section; they got to pet a snake, lizard, rabbit, and tortoise and couldn't stop talking about the bees! There was an accessible elevator for the stroller, and a lunchroom where you could buy, or bring food to eat. For adults, they have very informative plaques on the animals and explorers. Pros: Fun for kids Cons: Bathrooms were tricky to get into with stroller more

Dino-mite! 8/15/2002

This is the best museum all around. Though not hugh, it has a great collection and a decent gift shop. Exhibits are well structured and you can interact with the staff in the paleo lab. Guides are wonderful with all guests, including groups, couples and kids. They even have an ovenight program where you can sleep with a dinosaur! Pros: Well run., Staff., Exhibits Cons: Parking is a problem more
