It was a bit expensive for what you get, but it was still good entertainment and education for my boys and me. We were there about 2 hours, including the 2 planetarium shows.
A blow up type of dome with lawn chairs.
The Tut exhibit was interesting, but small and unfortunately it's only temporary. The planetarium exhibit was the best part science wise but only lasted 30 minutes and was rather small. The rest of the museum was dinosaur fossils and was small. My family (3 adults, 1 child) got in with a Groupon and enjoyed it for the price and even purchased 2 books (one a brief lesson on hieroglyphics, the other Carter's experience with Tut's tomb) But had we paid the original entrance price, we would have been furious. The museum does allow reentry for a whole day so it would be a good place to kill some time I suppose. Highly recommend going to each of their shows as the Phantom of the Universe was amazing and educational.
The videos shown were very amateur.
Poorly done. Metal building - one big room. Very under funded.
The "planetarium" is a joke if you have ever been to a real one.
The Egyptian exhibit was disappointingly set up. I had expected to be able to spend more time there, but we were able to see/read every thing in under 40 minutes. For the price, I had hoped there would be enough to keep us occupied for at least an hour. And with the eclipse coming, I had hoped to have a show dedicated to the monumental event. I learned a little, so it was not a total waste. But I don't think I'll be back.
Bottom line, spend your money somewhere else. This isn't worth it.
I have to say I am a little disappointed. The museum was just okay. I was very excited about the planetarium, but it was very small and extremely hot inside. The show was just all right.
Two exhibits - dinosaur exhibit and King Tut were not even open although they were advertised as part of the museum. No discount even if only half of the exhibits were open.
The lady narrating had a nasal sound to her voice and was anything but professional.
This Museum is definitely small however we knew that going in and were not expecting a huge interactive Museum. Knowing that this was a small Museum due to the fact that they are fairly new and growing was an appeal for us because we wanted to support them. My kids have been to larger Museums several times and they still had a blast here! We originally went for the King Tut exhibit however it was no longer there but after I told the staff how obsessed my daughter was with Egypt the woman running the planetarium show catered to her and incorporated some facts about Egypt. My favorite part of this experience was how dedicated and passionate the staff was about providing the best experience for our whole family. Every one was extremely nice and informative I feel that the staff made this experience more personal than I have ever experienced from the larger Museums. We were thankful for the opportunity to support this place and I encourage those who want to have a larger Museum available in their community to do the same so that they can continue to expand. I have no doubt that this facility will continue to improve and grow, we will definitely return if we find ourselves in the area again! Thank you to all of the staff for your dedication to providing this experience and education to families and for exceeding our expectations!!!
The planetarium was definitely the main attraction and was very interesting. It is small however, and seats fill very quickly. Most kids just lay on the floor. They have multiple shows, and we watched two of them. It was very cool to see telescope images of planets and stars in this way. The two guides we had were very rehearsed and talked very very fast, which made it hard to understand everything.
We saw the Tutenkamen exhibit also, which was interesting, but the items were very obvious replicas made of cheaper materials. They also had some fossil replicas of early creatures.
