Take the kids! Take your parents! So much to see, you'll want to come back again to find out what you missed the first time.

I especially enjoyed the Hall of Paleontology. The number of fossils on display is extensive and I thoroughly enjoyed myself with the dinosaurs. They were definitely the highlight of my visit and I spent more than an hour in this section. The gem section is quite big but it felt rather dark and creepy, as was the gem vault too.... More

I love the Weiss Hall Energy exhibit- you don't know anything about oil & gas until you tour it. The museum as a whole is fabulous, so much to see & do. Truly a world class museum. But wear comfortable shoes- you WILL walk a lot, and seating areas are very limited.

The new Paleontology Hall is quite amazing! The new hall is set up in a much more streamlined manner with tour guides that are extremely knowledgeable, we didn't think we would want to have a guided tour, but we ended up having a guide show us around...it is so worth it! They are so extremely knowledgeable and know all the... More

Basic Natural History Museum, laid out kind of poorly, but redeems itself witha very cool butterfly exhibit and a massive geode exhibit. The bonus for this place is that on Thursday most of the Museum is free! How can you beat that?

I love the HMNS but it's the same old museum we've had for decades. It needs a new facelift and by that I mean new exhibits. It's tired and old, but has potential.

The only thing I can say that wasn't good about the visit was that we went in April. Apparently, April is "Field Trip Month" and every school in the area was visiting the museum. It didn't stop us from have a super time though! We visited the planetarium, got to see the dinosaurs, the Faberge collection! My favorite part of... More

Took my mom for an early mother's day outing to view the gorgeous jewelry, glittering eggs, and lots of cigarette cases (!!) made by Faberge for the Russian czars and the Nobel family among others. Very interesting history and workmanship. Don't miss the incredible tiny flowers in vases created to appear as if water is in the vases and stems... More
