Masterpiece of brilliant collections from all over the world. The crystal exhibit was the best I’ve ever seen in my life. All the cases throughout the museum were spotless. The staff was knowledgeable and inviting. The planetarium was worth the wait and she put on a brilliant show. The butterfly exhibit was bliss and made very one very happy to enjoy. You had to be careful, but the staff was very nice how they relayed the message.
I hope to come back on my next visit .:)

My kids love the sea center. Very interactive. They were able to pet sharks, anemones, sea cucumbers and more. The wet deck is great, see what is in the crab net every half hour and check out live organisms under the microscope. Go upstairs to see some Moon Jellies and more!

Really cool little museum and aquarium. Hands on exhibits where you can touch some fish, sea urchins, anemones, starfish, etc. The entry fee didn’t break the bank, either.

Informative and hands on experience. All staff is friendly and willingly happy to answer questions of all creatures in the exhibits. Although small it it's very pleasant.
