You can spend a whole day there; good concession, clean, EXCELLENT EXHIBITS. Well organized and layed-out. Make sure you take the Cacoon Tour. All this for FREE, no admision. more

My fiance and I are a young couple who do a lot of traveling and we love museums, but after going to the Smithsonian we have been disappointed with most natural history museums we had been to. Fortunately, this one was a nice surprise! We really enjoyed it and spent several hours there. The animatronic T-Rex was very lifelike and... more

I was very impressed with every part of this museum, with loads of different sections and areas it felt like a proper day out and it was all very well organised.

We were greeted by a 1hr 10 min wait to get into the museum. I completely understand the importance of security... more

Make sure, if you have children you pick up the explorers pack from the information desk. It is free and will give the children something to focus on. There is a lot to see in this museum so I would suggest you go and focus on one thing. My children like the dinosaurs but make sure you go either first... more
