This is the most extensive museum I have seen with animals in it. Please note that people that are sensitive to dead animals may be saddened, HOWEVER it is a GREAT place to take children to learn more. Be sure to check and make sure they are open or call ahead for tours. This is a GREAT educational place and you could visit several times and get new information each time.

This museum took our family 2 visits to complete. The first time we went, we took in an overview of everything. We watched a video on ocean life, and then went through each exhibit. My daughters loved learning about the differences between butterflies and moths in their large collection of both. Since my children learn more visually than anything else, this museum caters to displays. The boys learned about birds in their bird displays which also helped in their scouting badges. The all-time favorites were the seperate zones that animals live in.From tropic to polar, there were real-life displays set up. We also called ahead to have a hands-on demonstration with lizards, turtles, snakes, and other reptiles. Even though other school groups were in the museum, the staff once again catered to our family because of our calling ahead and setting it up. The children continue to ask to return.
