The museum. A sad display of dead animals. It made me feel as though I was walking through a mass cemetery where I got to see what the animals looked like before they died. I thought we have such technology now, we can have interactive graphics that can show how the animals lived and what they used to do in 4 or 5D! The pros: The outdoor area on the bottom floor takes the cake. How is it that nobody is trying to invite those who are eating their lunch outside on the curb or the stairs after visiting the museum? Don't eat out in the front of the museum. Next time you go, eat outside on the bottom floor, surrounded by nature. They have tables, chairs and umbrellas. It is beautiful, and it will give you the best experience. Going outside was the best idea I could have had. The kids loved it. There are play grounds, fountains, a little lake, and a few other things to see and explore!

Great Great museum. I love going there with my son. They always have new exhibits so it's never really the same. The only downside is the parking. $12 Cash. Better bring cash or they won't let you park. But still overall a great experience. 5 Stars for me.

I really enjoy this museum. It's great for kids of a lot of ages. Older kids can get in depth with the knowledge, but there's also plenty for younger kids to see and even interact with in the museum. The large dinosaur skeletons and animal displays are captivating for any age. If you have little ones, this museum is great too because it's large and spread out. There's even an outdoor area. The kids don't have to feel confined too much.

Super fun, huge, informative museum. Great place to take kids. Love the new California native plant garden with the really cool bird observation deck. Kids love the lab with kid-friendly, interactive displays. Can't wait to go back.

Very interesting museum with lots of things to see, do and touch. Educational not only for kids, but also for grown-ups. Unfortunately their current exhibit of extreme animals is not very interesting. Mummies were better. And if you want to have a break, they have beautiful lush gardens to hang out.
