This place is awesome. I have been here a few times since they opened and always take people from out of town here for a treat. The outside entrance and patio are beautiful and inviting. Cool gift store that requires no ticket right up front. Check in at the front desk and get started.
Musical instruments everywhere you turn. Cultural history and tantalizing information at each stop along the way. The top floor is divided up between different parts of the globe. Africa, Asia, Europe, Americas, etc. There are more rooms down stairs to see as well like the famous artist room which has stuff from Elvis, Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Taylor Swift and many more. Some areas change themes throughout the season.
Place is immaculate and flows like a fun house. Make sure and get the head sets. They automatically come on when you step in front of the display placard. It is easy to spend a couple hours just getting started then have some lunch in the yummy downstairs cafe and going back at it for another hour or two.
Although older children will enjoy this, it is more of an adult experience. If you have younger children that get bored easily after an hour, I would recommend taking them to the zoo or somewhere they can run around and do the things kids like to do. Bring the camera but turn off the flash. FUN !!!
