It is an amazing place to go see. We always have to go back because there are so many rooms you can look and look and look at the all of the fabulous rocks and minerals in their collection!! Each time we leave the kids found something new to rave about...

Lots of space to wander and look at all the exhibits-great collection and lots of information. We went for a homeschool science lesson, perfect!

The Rice NW Museum of Rocks and Minerals is a place I've driven by for years but never visited until recently.

A small gem, but, as we say in Italy "the best wine comes from... More

I think this museum is like the Smithsonian of the West. Wonderful displays and little shop for anyone interested in nature, gemstones and minerals. You will see things here you will see no where else.
