Absolutely geat museum. What we were not happy about was the screaming, running, pushing kids that parents had absolutely zero control over the kids many times even supporting theirs ridiculous behavior. Do not go to this museum on Sunday if your priority is to enjoy it even in semi peaceful mode.

Went to the museum on free museum day, and although it was busy, it was a great experience. It's right across the street from a city bus, so it's pretty easy to get to. There are elevators, if you are in a wheelchair, and escalators if you prefer that. However, the dining situation is a tad bit confusing. Overall, it's a really interesting place to visit.

We had a great time at the museum! When we visited, they had free entry for active duty military and the special exhibit on bugs. There was so much to read and interact with and the staff was so super pleasant and seemed to genuinely enjoy being there. The taxidermy displays looked really good in the naturalistic environments, the gem and mineral exhibit was so interesting, and there was plenty for children to do. I think all of us agreed that the dinosaur/extinct animals was one of the best parts.

Went on a whim because we had a few hours to kill. We have a reciprocal pass from our local museum so that was awesome (we were going either way). Tons of energy and kids there when we went. Was so great to see everyone so happy. For our 3 year old it was perfect. (Let her walk a ton and get tired). For us adults not a ton of different things compared to other science museums in big cities except for the huge rock collection they have on the first floor. Overall very easy to get in and out and free parking (can’t say the same for Dallas)

We came here for a summer vacation from Frisco TX. And we are happy that we went to the museum. The museum is very engaging, informative, and big for all ages. We almost spent 4-5 hours in the museum and also went to the planetary science movie, which is around 25 minutes and it was amazing. And if you talk about price, it’s not that pricey and worth to visiting. Totally recommended 👍🏻

Great place to visit with family and alone. Kids loved it, 3 floor full off beautiful artifacts. Kids loved that health and science part and my favorite is wild animals. They have an amazing gem stones with lots to history attached to it. Took almost 4 hours to complete the whole thing ( without special event ). Free parking open and garage they even had free EV charging stations. A must place to visit.

I love this museum! I could spend all day wondering around the exhibits. Granted there is some room for improvement but this most likely has to do with a funding related issue. That’s why we should visit as often as possible!

The Expedition Health exhibit is one of my favorites! I wish the lab was open more and there were a few more tests since technology has evolved. But it’s still super awesome for kids that are over 9 years old. The space exhibit will be enjoyed by kids of all ages. There’s even a fantasy spaceship that’s fun for all ages.
Some of the exhibits with growling animals may be a little too scary for kids. But there’s tons of other cool stuff to do and look at. Worse case scenario, there’s a bug exhibit, an IMAX and the planetarium.

During the summer there is also a water feature where kids can play in water which overlooks city park. I think it would be worth it to visit when you can make it an all day event! You can lunch in the park, play in the water, see a lot of exhibits, and end the day with an IMAX or planetarium show 😊.
