Its very kid friendly, but... more

We visited the museum with our 5 year old son. It was a fantastic day! There was so much to see and do. Our son really enjoyed going through the Indian Village and listening to the recordings that explained the various exhibits. Everything was so interesting! This is definitely worth seeing! more
