I am a huge nerd and lover of museums. However, this one wasn't working for us. I am used to museums that are either free, or free parking or just bigger in general. Initially, you pay $5 to park. Additionally, you pay $17/person for admission, THEN they make you pay for the exhibits. The King Tut exhibit is understandable, considering it is a rotational exhibit. They also make you pay to see the IMAX, the planetarium, the submarine tour and a few other things. This museum is 2 stories, the first story being the gift shop and industry section if you don't pay for extras. The second level is skeletons/paleontology (with lab) and maternity. There is also a live reptile section. This museum is very hands on and great for kids to learn. But, on the other hand, it is not a recommended museum for adults.
