We loved it. It was great seeing all the different animals skeletons, learning about the unique history of Piggly Wiggly and how the Pink Palace came to be. The dinosaur exhibit was excellent and seeing how massive a Mastodon is was incredible.

This place is a lot of fun. They have a wide variety of exhibits to explore. Give yourself at least an hour and half if not 2 hours to get thru all of the exhibits. So much of the displays are something I've never seen...Read More

Absolutely wonderful place. The planetarium is a must do item. The museum is a wonderful balance of future and past. Don't forget to say "hi" to the polar bear on the second floor. It's tradition.

This has been a great place since the 90s to visit. Although it's not the Smithson or a Karen's perfect adventure it's amazing in many ways.
