The fact that I had no idea what some of the exhibits were about does not detract from the educational importance of this place. Some hotels in the area provide free entry tickets. More

It was the snowiest winter on record and this museum was a perfect way to spend a morning. It is small and has great interactive exhibits that are particularly good for young boys (video games, moving sculptures, etc). I used a coupon so it was affordable and the kids loved the gift shop. More

Worth a visit but allow about an hour. I was lucky to find... More
