  It was neat, but small and didn't cost a lot. You can kill a couple of hours in there. Kids will enjoy the visit too.

  It wasn't as big as I thought it would be, but definitely worth seeing the exhibits. I'm always impressed with the dinosaurs, they also had a lot on the space travel and one of the guides was well informed about various space flights

  Visited with our 7 year old granddaughter. Interesting displays and a planetarium. It was a fun afternoon.

  I wish that they had more support from the public. That way they could have better exhibits. Love the planetarium and the gentleman who leads the talks. He is the best.

  Was there for a special exhibition on the history of brown cotton. There are many exhibits and there is an observatory show that introduces you to the constellation stars and planets.

  If you happen to be in the area, this is a nice museum. It's small but it tries hard to balance children's museum with science museum. The exhibits are a mixture of things that could be enjoyed by young children and older children. All employees were friendly and engaged us in conversation without us asking. The museum had a large selection of dinosaur bones/fossils/and rocks. I am unsure if these exhibits are permanent so do call ahead, but if you have a dinosaur lover, this will be a great stop for them. The museum also had a nice section about weather/space etc. Elevators were available, bathrooms were large and clean. Pictures are included.

  We had a couple of hours to kill because it was raining, so we went here. It was my husband and myself and our three children ages 8,7 and 2. We go to lots of museums when we travel so we aren't newcomers to science museums. It was cheap enough to get in: $5 for adults, $2 for kids and the little one was free ( under 3 I think) so $14 total. It was in a nice part of town, parking was fairly easy and we parked in metered parking about a block away. The main exhibit was dinosaurs and was okay. My 8 year old who normally really loves dinosaurs wasn't that into it. It was just a lot of replicas of skeletons, some fossils and then they had some random rocks, minerals and geodes. They had a small section of things upstairs that were "interactive" but again nothing to hold our kid's attention more than a few minutes. They had a nice play area downstairs the little one liked. Had some of those plastic playhouses, a train table and some legos. They liked that. Not anything to do special, but if you have a few hours to blow it was fine.

  If this museum functioned as a standalone planetarium, this review would be excellent. The programs offered for the planetarium were interesting and our guide/program operator was very knowledgeable about the constellations and answered every question concerning the space station with great detail. The rest of the museum, aside from a few interesting moon rocks, seemed devoid of any actual collection or pieces of interest. There was too much space to walk around in, and not enough exhibit. The museum was very clean, however.

  I stopped here on my way through Louisiana. Temp dinosaur display was well done, informative, and well done. I particularly like the school of design creations. Brilliantly done-geniuses in the making
