Very nice place to check out. Great place to take a family to, it is getting a 4/5 because it is overprices for what you get.

The collections are varied and vast. The exhibits are interactive and interesting for both children and adults. The new telescope is state of the art and gives incredible views of space. Not to miss!

Spent an afternoon here on a weekend shopping trip. Tried to please the kids since we knew that they wouldn't be too happy shopping the whole weekend. The place itself is not so big, but it had a lot of really interesting exhibits, and the grounds were absolutely beautiful! We only spent a few hours here and we didn't try... More

Cranbrook is like no other. Truly amazing place to take your kids at a reasonable cost. Their exhibits are lifelike.

Just the right size when you have kiddies tagging along. Plenty to see and do, and I HIGHLY recommend the bat exhibit. I was a little squeamish, but we will be putting a bat house up in our yard, primarily due to this GREAT experience!

Fascinating. See the only National Bar Conservancy. Cranbrook grounds, gardens, fountains and art center are also worth seeing.
