Great way to spend a day

So much to see, clean, spacious, lots of interactive stuff for kids without being dumbed down/boring for adults. Great gift shop. Parking is overpriced, but otherwise an excellent facility. The dinosaurs may be mostly models, but it’s a highlight - be sure to look for the funny humanoid skeletons in unexpected poses and places, too.

Amazing deal

Great discount I paid like 37$ for both tickets compared to if I would’ve brought it from the official website of the museum it would’ve been 50$ not including taxes so it was worth it and it was quick and easy to navigate

Overcharged

The experience was great but I didn’t like that you all charged me more than the actual price of I would have just purchased at the box office so I won’t use your service again and I will not recommend you all to anyone and I will tell people that you all charge more

Great family outing!

Impressive! From dinosaur fossils to interactive demos on how things worked, it was a lot to see and do. Use parking lot C for free 3hr parking. It’s only a 5-10 min walk to the museum.
