I went with my daughters school here on a field trip so I am glad I didn't have to pay full admission price for myself (her $ was 10 & my $ was 5) or I would have been disappointed for the cost. There is 3 rooms, 2 small rooms and 1 medium sized room. 1 room has rocks and gems nicely displayed and activity sheets to do to better educate while observing. The other small room was a science experiment room that I don't know is for planned trips only or if they do something for every visitor. The biggest room has books around and is the "play" area. There is a small playground PLEASE USE CAUTION HERE!! 4 out of 16 CHILDREN BUMPED THEIR HEADS TO THE POINT OF CRYING. There is a padded block building area, a dinosaur fossil area where they can brush sand, a displayed dinosaur, a drawing area, another more complex block area, a station with sand that shows sea level and mountain range heights (the coolest hands on activity they have in several opinions) a hurricane air contraption (commonly seen at malls and yes you have to pay a couple bucks for it too and its half the time the mall gives) and one more station. It seems that Listed a lot but honestly unless your kids will play on a station over a few minutes, you would be done in 30 minutes. A good fair admission price would be $2-$3. Over that is not worth it.

Super cute place with great staff working kids programs. Little small yet, but they are growing. Our favorite by far was the topographic sand table. Mesmerizing. The different stations kept my 3 year old hoping and happy. Hope the prices stay low and reasonable. Looking forward to this place's full potential!

Very fun and friendly environment. The space is small now but the quality of content and exhibits are top notch. The staff and owners are passionate and intelligent. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. Admission is cheap. Help them grow because they are doing it right!

Small place but cool place for kids. Gemstone exhibit and lots of interactive creativity activities. There was a lab where you build/complete circuits from 1:15-4:45, would recommend. Traffic was heavy and parking isn't easy to find.

Offered reciprocity via our membership at MSI in Chicago. But even without, the prices are reasonable (maybe $5?). It's small but really worthwhile. A fun play house for older kids (2+). Neat little building areas with pipes and balls and an area blocked off for younger kids. A room full of beautiful minerals. A small gift shop with reasonable priced toys and rocks/minerals. We spent 2 hours there and bought a small town in the gift shop since it benefits the museum.
