Don’t let the negative reviews deter you!! We stumbled across this place while trying to find something to do with our almost 3 year old . It looks like there is not a lot of parking but they are on a corner and have parking all around the building. There are 5 rooms and an outdoor area. 3 rooms are guided and 2 are free exploring with a gift shop! We made our own fossils to start and then got to touch and learn about a few animals they had. Then we learned about fossils and bones. The girls who did the animal encounter and the fossil tour were just excellent! Obviously most of anything in a museum is a replica and not the original due to the risk of it being damaged and the rarity of them. Definitely an unexpected gem we found. We didn’t go outside to their outdoor playground and obstacle course only due to the rainy weather. I also feel this IS fit for all ages not just young kids. We ended up in a group with 2 men 60+ who had just as much fun as my almost 3 year old. Fun for all ages. We highly recommend!!
