Extraordinarily beautiful architecture greets the visitor. I don't know if it is stained glass or metal painted in iridescent colors, but the brilliantly colored exterior reminds the viewer of a prairie fire for which tis community is named. Casts of dinosaurs dominate the first...Read More

Beautiful building. We enjoyed the Vr room and the hands-on room located upstairs. Other than that, not very much to do, but we still enjoyed our visit.

Very cool museum. Desk staff and VR staff were friendly and welcoming. Lots of interactive activities and for only $5 admission per person, and free parking across the street, I'd highly recommend for a couple of hours of entertainment!
