This museum is on a much smaller scale than the one in New York City. It is really geared towards kids, but will keep adults interested, too. There's a nice rocks and minerals exhibit. You can walk through a simulted volcano. I had visited here 11 years ago and revisited two weeks ago. Some of the interactive displays were not well maintained and were not functioning properly.

- Pros: Good parking, near other attraction
