It's a very small museum, but has a lot to offer. The area with the assembled dinosaur skeletons was very well organized, and the plaques very interesting and informative. There were two volunteers in the children's area and they explained everything very well. My daughter and I both had a lot of fun!

Really neat place! Very small, but really interesting display that walks you through the dinosaur timeline. Be sure to go to the lower level education center, where you can also see into the university paleontology lab.

This museum has come a long way since it gust opened. To fully enjoy the museum, make sure to visit their website and download the activity pack to search for items and fill in the blanks. You also get to see a real paleontologist at work downstairs!

Got kids with a short attention span or only have 10 minutes to spend, this is the place. The museum has two areas to enjoying for FREE. Donations are welcome and needed. The main floor contains several dinosaurs and a basement holds an area for kids to do activities and watch paleontologists at work getting fossils into show quality. Currently they are working on a Triceratops skull.

Small museum. $3 donation entry. Fun little visit for small children. They can even do a Dino dig until 3pm in the basement.
