A child could spend a day just in the basement of the Natural History Museum at the Oh! Zone. The Oh! Zone is a great interactive hands on science area.

The museum's staff is very friendly. They do present their information from an evolution perspective, but you can tour this museum on your own and enjoy the displays. There are 14,000 square feet of exhibits including Native American artifacts, Dinosaur replicas, and gems and minerals. The correct website address is www.sharktoothhill.org

They offer special programs for children on Saturdays with reservations.
