Plan to spend many hours here if you like science. There are permanent exhibits of dinosaurs, minerals and gems, wildlife dioramas, planetary science, biodiversity, ocean life, and more. There is a full size blue whale on exhibit, as well as some of the largest meteorites ever found. Chemistry, biology, ecology, aerospace, and paleontology are all addressed in the wide variety of exhibits. Please visit their website for more information. We were simply amazed at how well done this museum is!
