This place can be visited in half an hour. The exhibits are interesting and thought provoking, highlighting how we have changed the course of evolution for the animals and plants that we rely on for our needs. I hope they'd acquire more artifacts and move to a bigger location. There is a suggested admission fee more like a donation and a small gift shop.
The idea behind this museum is an interesting one. Instead of flora and fauna that occur naturally, this museum focuses on those things that have been altered by humans think wolf to dog. However, the exhibits are not well labeled and they could have used some of the natural versions as a basis of comparison. So you're just left to wonder around and look at lots of specimens without context was the modification a good thing or a bad thing . Since we live in the neighborhood and it was free of day it was worth a visit for 20 minutes. Would I pay $10. No.
It's very small. Like one room small. But, there are some interesting exhibits there. If you have an hour and are looking for something to do this could be a possibility.
I thoroughly enjoyed this little museum. Very interesting information and specimens. It is quite small, but worth the trip.Wait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
The staff was very nice despite us discovering the place just 20 minutes before closing. He offered to wait as long as we wanted. It's a tiny museum, and many artifacts lacked context or explanation. The main video was thought-provoking. 20-30 minutes was sufficient.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
Excellent little museum that provides a brief history on genetically modified organisms, some of which we take for granted in our modern lives.
Very unique and interesting museum! Make sure to pick up the phones to listen to the cool stories and information.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10
Unique small museum located in an old storefront near the Children's Hospital. Exhibits explain and show examples of how humans have changed nature. Would recommend if you have a few minutes free on a Sunday. Friendly staff on hand to answer questions. Tour is self guided. Only issue some of the exhibits were not functioning either light was out or recorded voice option was not functioning.
This is a really interesting place to visit. There are a couple rooms, but the exhibits will keep you fascinated for an hour or perhaps two. Small children will need constant supervision, but my second grader had a blast! The curator was there and he was super pleasant to speak with about the items on display.
This is a very small but super-informative museum chock-full of extremely interesting exhibits. A self-guided experience, it addresses, without judgement, how humans have changed the natural order and development other living things throughout mostly modern history. You can enjoy this place whether you spend a little or a lot of time here. About 1/4 of the exhibits are best viewed with provided 3D glasses. Entry is free but donations are welcome. It is only open on Sunday afternoons and the first Friday of each month, but one of the curators is usually at the entrance to greet you and answer any questions.
