★★★★★Stacye Del PreteLovely small local museum. Exhibits are good for a wide range of visitors' ages. Probably won't take more than half an hour to look at most of the museum but they have many special programs and even homeschool classes, summer camp, and more intense programs based on a theme. General admission is $2. Well stocked and affordable gift shop. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. Recently refurbished and replanted pollinator gardens. I can't recommend it enough especially to families with children from around 5 to 12.
★★★★★Wit MGreat place to explore especially with children. I was amazed to see how well the animals are preserved. Lots of iron out there. 😉 Such a memorable experience. The children had a great time.
★★★★★Christina IntanoGreat program, tons of items to look at and a great trail behind the center.
★★★★I GSmall but the staff were definitely awesome and very informative. I liked walking through the trail.
★★★★★Charles DowdyReally nice brand new science center! Lots of local history with more to come! Friendly, helpful staff on hand to answer any questions. My favorite part was the rock collection. So many to see!
