The butterly exhibit was very cool...only goes to September though..Do beware of the poison oak though...It is along the path with a sign showing what it is....i was kind of surprised that there was so much of it. If you go, don't expect a huge museum though...It was very nice for what it was though. more

Really cool frog exhibit going on right now. I had no idea frogs could be so interesting and fun. The museum has beautiful grounds and exhibits. Well worth the trip more
