Very Nice half day museum trip. There are 2 levels of animals in diorama exhibits-- all animals are mounted so you may want to warn your kids they are dead-- mine were pretty freaked out by that. There are scavenger hunts available to make the museum trip more of an adventure. The best part of the museum is the touch room on the 2nd floor. This area has games to play, live animals to see up close, pelts to feel and compare, and educational toys to play with. This area kept my 3 kids busy for longer than the rest of the museum combined.
