Especially if you are traveling with kids from maybe 7-14...a brief and fascinating diversion, and you can buy a little stone on your way out. The fluorescent display and dinosaurs are nice "ooh-ahh" features. You can do a sneak peek at:http://www.geology.wisc.edu/~museum/visit.html

My boys are really in to rocks and fossils, so we definitely wanted to include a quick trip here when we were on our road trip this summer. My boys are ages 10 and 12. We all really enjoyed this free musuem. It's not very big, but it is packed with some really interesting rocks, fossils, minerals, and dinosaur bones. We have looked at many types of fossils and rocks, and we really enjoyed what they had to offer here. We got through it in about an hour, and that was really taking our time. They do have bathrooms and water fountains, and its not too hard to find. But finding parking IS really difficult. We drove around for about 30 mins trying to find a space to park, and there weren't any garages nearby, so it was street parking only. Being in a college area, there were a lot of permit only parking signs up. We finally found a spot about 2 blocks from the museum, but were a bit frustrated until then.

This museum does a perfect job at packing about as many items in as they can without making things feel crowded. There are displays about meteorites that have been found in Wisconsin, a display case explaining the major differences between minerals and some prehistoric animal skeletons. The absolute best part is the room that shows which minerals display phosphorescence (or glowing in the dark) under different bands of the UV spectrum or in complete darkness. The brilliance of colors displayed is enough to cause one to enter into a state of child-like wonder. If you have a few minutes (or maybe even up to half an hour if you take your time), I would definitely recommend checking this museum out.

This free museum, though small, is mighty. Stunning array of beautiful stones from all over. The fluorescent light room was such a treat! The fossils are incredibly beautiful and interesting. I was so completely pleasantly surprised. Whether you're into dinosaurs, gemstones, meteorites, or biology, this is a great place. Spent about an hour here and there was just so much to take in.

This free museum is more like an exhibit. It's not very big but will keep you occupied for 30-40 minutes. It does contain a number of fossils and interesting geological artifacts but obviously, will not compare to nationally funded, better known museums.

I've taken school groups to the Geo museum for several years. For a small museum, it has a lot of nifty exhibits and artifacts. Kids will love seeing the unique minerals and, of course, the dinosaur and mammal bones.

It doesn't matter how old you are the staff can tailor a tour for your group regardless of your age. You can find Ice Age mammals to Dinosaurs and many minerals and rocks that fluoresce!

A very well curated collection of minerals and fossils along with clear and even entertaining descriptions. A little something for everyone that won't take up too much of your time.

University of Wisconsin runs this museum. Small but has all the key attractions that make it worth the visit. It has a small gift shop and if you are a new rock collector here is the place to obtain some really nice small pieces for your collection at reasonable prices.Would return.

free admission (donation encouraged) with taxonomic and chronological displays of rocks, gems, and minerals. Nice collection of fossils and a very reasonable gift display case.
