Visitors’ temperature will be checked upon entry and masks should be worn. Members must also reserve their free timed tickets in advance. Our new capacity can fill quickly so be sure to reserve your spot. Thank you!

[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.

While I am a nerd at heart, I do suggest that you come to the Natural History museum at least once. It's not just a place for little tykes on school field trips; go in, walk around for a few hours and soak in the information.

We had a bizarre time. One child hated the art. One child learned she's terrified of taxidermy animals, and in the statuary hall, I confirmed my fear of heights. All this and pretty terrible signage about where things might be found. But, we all found something to enjoy.

Incredible experience. Worth 4 hours at least, including the museum of art. The mineral and gemstone exhibit is awesome, but so are the dinosaurs.
