I had an absolute blast here! It has all of the classic natural history museum staples: Dinosaur fossils, taxidermy dioramas, insects.
Everything in the museum is displayed in well thought out and visually interesting ways, with a bit more flare than I have seen in other museums.
They have a butterfly conservatory that has a fantastic variety, is well maintained, and not as unbearably humid as others I've been in.
The dioramas had more character to them than any I've seen before, and the taxidermy is of better quality as well.
The dinosaur fossil exhibits were put together nicely, and there's even a place to observe paleontologists at work.
The staff here are all lovely, the gift shop has a great selection, and it's both a great place for kids and adults alike.
