Went with my daughters preschool and we had a great time love the exhibits and high desert never fails I have been going since I was about the same age and it always has something new and exciting as well as so much fun to see some of the items and exhibits still there at times and see my kiddo light up with excitement about it just like I would. Thank you high desert museum for being a great learning place for kids and giving my family a new time honored tradition to add to our lives.

Most unexpected. My wife wanted to go see this and I reluctantly agreed. I really enjoyed the many exhibits, both indoor and outdoor. We spent about 3 hours and learned quite a bit. Even the art on the walls was interesting.

Excellent museum! It's well cared for and up to date. I was impressed by how many animals they had, to the tune of feeling more like a zoo than a museum. The kids (7, 5, and 2) loved it, and we spent about 3 hours there.

Awesome place for all ages! The raptor show is absolutely amazing. A must do. Museum is excellent, the café for lunch is fine but you can bring your own lunch as it is allowed. During the summer they have actors that are part of the homestead area that talk about what their life is like in 1904 - very interactive and fun for kids.

The raptor show is definitely the highlight of the museum. It is absolutely astounding. Everything else is fine. Hopefully it will continue to grow and the place can add a few more exhibits or some kind of desert garden.
