With an admission price of only 5 and 6 dollars this beats the movies! Without getting too lengthy, they have a bit of everything. Kids loved it!
This is a beautiful place. A super affordable fun time for all ages. I is off the main road between Anniston an Jacksonville. A big sign so you can't miss it.And you can get a deal to see both attractions in one place,all you have to do is take a little time to have fun.
My husband and I enjoyed our visit to the museum. Interesting displays. They were updating some areas. Still lots to see.
Always wanted to visit and enjoyed every minute. Great displays and exhibits. Look forward to visiting again.
This museum took me by surprise! I've been to some of the major US Natural History Museums (Chicago, NY, LA) and this one really holds up on it's own tucked away in Anniston. The exhibits are more intimate, the best with no barriers of glass or bars, so the experience is unlike others. A lot of great variety and really well done. We actually met the curator who was incredibly kind and incredibly passionate about his work, which really shines through all the exhibits. The lobby may seem a bit dated, but pass those entrance doors and you're in for a real treat!
Kids and adults love our museum with its extensive collection of animals and of course, the mummy! Temporary exhibits are also interesting and they have a very nice gift shop!
An interesting view of wildlife as presented in an earlier time. WE learned much of the older ways in which people saw wildlife when photograph was not readily available and zoos were not pervasive about the land
This is a great museum for introducing children to the different types and sizes of animals. They have everything from small animals to large animals (including an elephant); they have dinosaurs and a mummy too. The museum allows you to go at your own pace and the cost of admission is low. It's $6 for Adults; ($5.50 for Senior citizens 60+); Children (age 4-17) $5; and children age 3 and under are free.
We visit at least twice a year. If you are into animals, this is the museum to visit. There is so much to see here. There is also a beautiful botanical garden that we enjoy also. Best attraction in Anniston!
Exhibits change often and are amazing and educational for adults and children. Beautiful wooded setting on the North end of Anniston, just off Hwy 21.
