Besides being a research facility, this is a well deserved top tourist attraction, appealing to kids as well as adults. Typical of BYU, they do this right.

This is a fun place for kids to come and visit. Our kids really enjoyed all the animal exhibits and the occasional class.
We took our kids here, the animals looked so real. Almost any animal, insect, bird that you can imagine. The staff was so friendly, they even brought out real animals, snake and turtle, for our young ones to see. A must see...
I have only been there a few times, but have had several kids from school (I'm an elementary school principal) - go there on field trips. The teachers and kids enjoy the trip.
Lots of hands on stuff, family oriented activities. Lots of fun!
I like this museum. They have lots of displays of animals, bugs, and other exhibits. I love the new display on the east wall of butterflies and also moths. They also have a room for kids to play with things.
This is a fascinating science museum--the kids never wanted to leave. We learned so much about all the animals & the presentaion of them all was intriguing. We even got to watch a movie. Loved the shop.
I remember going to this place as a kid, and returning as an adult with my kid was a little disappointing. It is pretty old, and dusty. There are loads of animals packed in, more than the space allows. Fun for the kids, and free.
Our girls love visiting the Bean museum. I have fond memories of visiting it when I was a girl. They have little scavenger hunt print outs for the kids to go around and try to find all the animals pictured on it. Love that it is free. Great way to spend an hour or two every so often
Our grandchildren love this place and so do their parents and grandparents. There isn't a month that goes by that we don't visit! Although we know every nook and cranny from our frequent visits, it never gets old. We are looking forward to our visit in December when the display of animals take on a very special view. Everything is...
