If you are a big history person to understand our past. This place is the best spot. Not to mention that it's free to walk in and look around how far we have made it to.

Great museum for kids of all ages. Does traveling art which is a plus. No fee except contribution, which we always make. Small kids play area is great for our grandkids. Mastodon area is well done as is animal area.
