Paula AOctober 11, 2011Get ready to spend over 2h in here. There is a lot to see and to learn in this place.
Joanna FlammJuly 8, 2013The posted admission prices are high, but there's an unlisted "Basic Admission" price that is less. Just ask!
JADotyApril 27, 2010To really see it all, set aside a couple of days. Facilities on the 1st floor are limited. More located on ground and 2nd floors.
Duffee MaddoxAugust 25, 2017There's so much to do! Cannot be done in a few hours. Plan strategically.
- Raghul ManoharanSeptember 10, 2014Sue the Tryannosaurus Rex. Supposed to be the most complete Tryannosaurus Rex fossil ever discovered.
Chris RobertsJuly 4, 2010The back of the pacific islands exhibit will take u into a secret back entrance to the ticketed climate change exhibit for free
Jason EppersonDecember 30, 2011Here on a busy day...really annoying to be around all of these trashy people at such a classy museum. At the McDonalds, bottom of the barrel fries, no ice, and no free seats.
BrookeAugust 9, 2013This place blows! Only recommend for very young kids! Most everything is fake...
JasonJune 22, 2015Too much to see here! Felt like I need at least 2 full days just to see everything.
You have to do the Dozin with Dinos sleep over package 2 that takes you on a behind the scenes tour. Awesome
KristenFebruary 19, 2011Don't plan on showing up at 4:02. They won't let you in since the ticket agents leave at 4. Forget that they close at 5...
Edward deGruyDecember 12, 2010take the Saturday tour of the Egypt exhibit and get John. I think he knows more than the archaeologists that excavated the tombs.
Check out the new exhibit on Gold! Would love to point out to my husband all the lovely Jewelry.
