Great museum booked via Go City

Amazing displays, vast museum. Probably need a day if you wish to see everything. The Go City also gives you ticket access to a timed event/ exhibition. We chose the butterfly house. Worth the money for the wildlife exhibition alone. No queues swift security checks. Well worth the visit.

Don't pay more than you have to..

Don't book with Viator. It's a suggested donation for admission so there's no need to book ahead. You still have to go through the lines so you might as well just get there early and by.

Amazing Museum

Amazing Museum. We spent at least 5 hours viewing displays. The Dinosaur exhibit was very impressive. I saw dinosaurs I hadn't seen pictures or displays of before. It's unbelievable to stand beneath or beside such huge creatures. We spent most of our time among the dinosaurs. "Allison and Roberto Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals, featuring over 5,000 specimens from around the world, including both gems and minerals." was awesome. I've never seen anything comparable to it. We also visited the Butterfly Vivarium which was excellent. If we'd had the time, we could have spent another entire day at this museum.

Disappointed

Disappointing. Just not a lot to see and signage was lacking and there wasn’t anything that felt special. Much prefer history museums in D.C. and Chicago.

Do not do the extra dinosaur exp.

Dinosaurs experience doesn't worth the time. You should be prepared to walk. Plan your time there...
