[Pre Covid] So many amazing exhibits to see here. I would recommend spending at least a full day here, or coming back for multiple visits.

This place was amazing. Great collection of fossils. Very educational. We spent a few hours there but could have spent two days. Highly recommend.

Very big and amazing museum. Very informative. My only quarrel is how confusing the layout is. Me and my friends got lost in there for an hour.

My group had a great time. They are asking if you show any symptoms and are taking temperatures at the door, so it is an added layer of comfort that you dont get at most places. Even though it was the middle of the day Saturday, it wasnt too crowded because they have people signing up for appointments as well. We spent a few hours going over exhibits and would have looked at more if our feet weren't so tired, but what we were able to see was really cool.
