Tons of interesting facts and really pretty meteorites! Loved the video and my kids (11, 9, 7) spent over an hour inside the gallery and another half an hour looking at the other science displays. Also, really nice air conditioning without a lot of people there!

There seems to be NO parking. They are putting up block wide parking garage across street. No available parking in Sept 2025

Absolutely ridiculous parking could not find any parking or know where to park. Didn't even get to see the museum. There is no signs saying where to find the museum and there is nobody inside to help. Finally found a hidden door saying the Museum is in it but it was locked. We were so confused. Nobody answers the phone for help either. It was a huge waste of time and gas. Don't bother coming!

Great personal exhibit. Not very big, but excellent content and presentation.

They were not open even though their page said it was. Drove an hour and paid for parking before finding that out. DO NOT COME WHEN THE SEMESTER IS OVER!! They will be closed even though there is no sign saying anything of the sort. Also, they don’t answer the phone. When you try to reach someone, it’s not possible. Only machines.

Its truly a gem! Abundance of information and specimen! There is also simmulation that you or kids can do, which kept our kids busy for a long time. Considering the fact that this is free of charge, adds to the enjoyable experience!
