This is an excellent place to take the kids and spend an hour or two. The dinosaur exhibit was the runaway hit with m kid. He couldn't get enough of the T-Rex that roared. He was also a big fan of the shark tank and sting rays. fyi... the sharks are tiny sharks not the huge ones you might see at the Shark Reef or elsewhere.
The wildlife exhibit is full of great photo ops. There are stuffed lions, tigers, bears, and plenty of other creatures to see. The Egyptian exhibit was decent and the Wild Nevada Gallery was educational. The Young Scientist Center is a hands-on exhibit for kids to interact with. A few of the stations held my son's interest for a few minutes but others (some that didn't work) were quickly passed over.
This museum may not compare to larger museums in DC and other cities, but it's still a good place to bring the kids if you need to entertain them for an hour or two. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, military and students, $5 for kids 3-11 and free for kids 2 and under. There's a coupon on their web site for a Buy One Adult Admission Get One Free.
