It is a small museum but it has culture and that is something we are losing in this day and age, I think with some time and help it could grow into a great place.

What they had on display was fun and interesting to learn, however it is very small. 3 rooms of exhibits... dinosaurs, exploration room and fire history. That was it. Not even 1/1000th what their website boasted they had. When I asked, I was informed the website is talking about their private collection, not their public display. Had I know that, I would have saved my time and money.

Very disappointed. After paying $5 per ticket our family expected to see everything about "Idaho" Natural History and Geology but instead a third of the museum was devoted to wild fire safety and the rest was primarily about Dinosaurs (not something Idaho is know for). The dinosaur simulator was very cool but I kept getting a loser Triceratops dinosaur to run through the Cretaceous period with and when I tried to join the other triceratops I kept getting gored . My son got to strut through the Cretaceous with a T-Rex and got to kill, eat and poop out a lot of things. Where are all the Indian artifacts, the archaeological dig exhibits, gemstones, research projects, Oregon trail artifacts etc. etc... When we circled back to the gift shop I was looking for more floors but was told there are none.. I tried to salvage the visit and purchase flint napping video by Crabtree from the gift shop but $50 was way out of my price range. Expect more from a university that is the undisputed leader in "IDAHO" natural history.

Small display of fossils. Disappointing not to have more displayed. More if a play area for school kids rather than a museum. Expected to see both plant and animal fossils. Models appeared to be 20 to 50 % oversized from real fossils found at John Day Oregon. Would have been nice to have seen local fossils found in southeast idaho.
