Something for all ages. Knowledgeable docents. Changing exhibits and hands-on activities for children.

From fine art to an Egyptian mummy to a children's play/learn area, a really nice museum

There were some cool elements, like the charcoal drawings currently on display. The planetarium, which we were not even planning on going in was the best part. Really cool interactive pieces. If I had done a little more research and realized it was mainly for children (there is a cool kid's zone and some other interactive things that, while adults could definitely take part in, it is designed for kids), I probably would have crossed it of our list. And considering it had the highest entrance fee ($9) of anything we did, I definitely would recommend seeing one of the other art museums instead. I was also surprised at how small it is. We walked through it in less than an hour. If you have kids, then maybe check it out. Otherwise, time and money could be spent better elsewhere.
