Rachel KMay 18, 2015Current exhibits include: Monster Fish, about giant river fish around the world and Indiana Jones, Myth versus Reality with movie props and the real world archeology it's based on.
Danielle DaSilvaJuly 31, 2018Two rotating exhibits that are often interactive. Great for all ages! Really! Check the calendar to see what's on display. And don't miss the photo exhibit.
Richard RevillaAugust 14, 2017Only has 2 awesome exhibits so this should take 30 minutes tops. $15 entrance may be a little step.
Yasaman MahdianAugust 16, 2019Exhibits change but I assume whatever you choose to visit would worth it! It’s not a full on museum though! A half an hour exhibition related to the topic yet informative.

Angie Not AngelaAugust 27, 2017WHO IS GIVING THIS PLACE HIGH REVIEWS?! Spend $15 on 5 min to see Wikipedia articles propped up. It's 1 floor which goes from one building to the next with a sad courtyard across.
