    Came here with my wife and daughter and I thought it was wonderful. We took our time and the museum was not full so our daughter had a blast with all the exhibits. Even though I am a foreigner, I still had a fun time. If you enjoy science and learning you will have a great time. My favorite part was the library. It even has English books and a climbing area for kids.

    If you are a fan of dinosaur fossils and all things science - this is one of the best museums I have visited (so far~). The trip and hike to the museum was def worth it! I enjoyed it considering I am a full grown adult! HAHA!
