Fun day! Relaxing and scenic drive out too. Very nice museum. My husband and I visited and spent between 60-90 minutes in the museum. Nice giftshop.

The museum is pretty cool, most of the exhibits were interactive! Your teen might be a little underwhelmed, but younger ages will love it. The “flight simulation” isn’t worth the extra cost imo.
