This museum was worth spending a couple of hours in. It wasn't as good as the Franklin institute. The dinosaurs were interesting.

A wonderful museum. We are members and both my 2 year old and 5 year old love it, especially my 5 year old who is a dinosaur lover. We go several times a year and always learn something new and interesting.
