Absolutely loved this "free" museum. They do ask for a reasonable donation to help maintain the building and exhibits. The kids had a wonderful time with the wide variety of history and present exhibits of nature and culture. It is very kid friendly just need to remind the little to keep hands off of all the glass as it could break. They were so excited to see the whale bones up close. Then, climb a few steps to see dinosaurs and a few more for different cultural events. Overall, a fun educational experience for kids and adults.
