This was awesome!!! We really enjoyed going as a family. Lots to see that can't be seen at other smaller museums. Downside, we weren't able to see one entire floor because it was closed for a private party. There was NO posted notice or mention of this until we went to go to that floor. It was the one that our daughter was looking forward too. If there had been a posting we would have done it first. We also did the butterflies which was AMAZING.

I always enjoy going to this place! It's always clean and entertaining. The staff is always great and the gift stores are very nice as well. The McDonald's inside is expensive tho. The lobby area is always entertaining as well, almost worth going to the museum just for the lobby and gift stores!

Great place to visit with children, it is a full day activity, so plan to get there in the morning and spend the full day to get your money's worth from the entry fee. The only problem is parking, there is a parking garage next door, but pricey. Free parking in the area is very limited and taken quickly due to the parks in the area being utilised by the public. So if you are looking for something to do with the kids, this is the place. ENJOY

Excellent place to spend a Sunday. Too extensive to be seen just in one day though. Permanent exhibitions are amazing. Planetarium is supreme. I went during a holiday, so it was crowded. Although and spite of, I enjoyed the place a lot. I just wish the people at the ticket boost were a bit more kind though. Likewise, I'd also like having more choice of meals inside the museum. There is only a McDonald's to eat. In general the visit was great. But, if you plan to go on any holidays be aware to be overwhelmed of people.
