Darwin Room

Really great weekend spent at the museum - for Bug Fest. Kids learned so much and had a great time looking at everything there is to offer. Thank you to all the volunteers who answered questions, were ever so helpful and kind, and made the experience a positive one. It really is a gem of a spot to visit. Definitely take a day out to visit!

This science museum was interesting but it didn't really blow me away. Maybe it's because I visited the Franklin Institute the day before but for the price (I paid $21 per person I believe) it's not very big or overwhelmingly interesting. Children may enjoy the extra dino exhibit which costs a little more and there is a lot of interesting dinosaur bones to look at in some sections but the majority of the museum is animal dioramas. They do look cool but you could see most of those animals at the zoo a few minutes away for less money.
The butterfly section was definitely my favorite section even though it's understandably hotter inside to accommodate the butterflies. The top level has some interesting live animals as well and a great space to take kids to play and learn about animals and bugs.
Overall, I would recommend to families with children but it was a bit underwhelming for me personally.

What a wonderful museum! Kinda small but great for kids! The butterfly exhibit was gorgeous! The live animal show was adorable and the host was so interactive and informative and friendly! Really had a great experience!This museum is located in the museum district. Very educational. If you are science lover, definitely check out this museum.

Most interesting museum that I have visited in quite a while. We had a Wonderful time. Beautiful displays! The animatronics were Awesome! We went here with a camp-full of kids and breezed through very quick. I plan on coming back to visit with my family, as I didn't get a chance to see everything, plus I know my family would love it as much as I do. Very educational, fun place and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. I can't say enough good things about this museum. VISIT! You won't regret it!

I really enjoyed visiting this Museum with my family. My kids particularly enjoyed the butterfly exhibit. The dinosaur and fossil dig was pretty neat also. This was really a great experience with a little something for everyone.
