I love science and natural history museums and have visited many throughout the world. So you could imagine I was super excited to go to this museum but I quickly became disappointed. First and foremost the service was terrible. Staff were rude and getting into the museum was a mess. It took us an hour to buy our tickets because there weren't enough staff. Plus, there was no information provided to waiting patrons on admission options so it took every patron at least 10 minutes to buy a ticket, not to mention they kept letting school groups cut to the front. The museum was overrun with screaming school kids in hordes of 30+ with limited adults. This is not a kid friendly museum, there are very few interactive exhibits and most are very technical and hard to comprehend. Many of the exhibits are out of date and do not provide accurate information. I would not recommend visiting this museum if you are in town for only a few days. However, they do have an amazing collection and it shame it isn't better run and curated. .
