- Amanda FAugust 19, 2013Great museum, even without the special exhibits (didn't budget for the extra cost). If you're an ASTC member and are traveling the requisite distance, admission is free!Upvoted Mar 9

- Dana ParkerFebruary 9, 2015Lovely museum, bright and well laid out. Their exhibits are always well laid out and informative. The gift shop has a lot of cool local stuff
- Best view of the city, right outside their canal doors.

- New RadarOctober 8, 2011Great venue for wedding! Other times, check out the IMAX or just take a walk on the canal.
- If you're from out of town, the information desk by the garage entrance has maps to the city and the volunteers can tell you all the best places to go.
- Ask at the ticket counter for a "monthly gallery search" packet. Find the hidden objects and your kids win a very cool prize at the end! (July's is a genuine mastodont bone!)
- Great exhibits and lovely displays plus the location is gorgeous.
- Elizabeth GriffithMarch 23, 2010When bringing kids, bring or ask for cardstock to use at check-in points and emboss through the museum. Scan entrance tickets at the computer stations and the next computer will remember you Read more
- Hiedi EMay 13, 2016Find all the mastodons! The 200 years of statehood exhibit was extremely fascinating.
- Erik RowleyNovember 21, 2016On display is Abraham Lincoln's mighty hammer, only those who are worthy can wield this power.
- Be sure to check out the 92 County Walk around the outside of the museum. Sculptures and artwork to represent each county are so fun and interesting!
- The cafe really isn't bad, the food is decent and fair priced. You can sit outside on a nice day, overlooking the canal.
- At the Canal Cafe, the grill guy will cook you almost anything you ask for. And, if you don't see "chicken velvet soup", you can request it anyway. Read more
- Not at all impressed with new cafe. While the food is delicious, it is no longer cost effective for a family. It will no longer be our go to place. :(
- Chicken Velvet soup is all you need to know. If you don't, you've been warned.
- Catrina SmytheJune 20, 2017Skip WWI exhibit. Went explicitly for Father's Day, it's only a few uniforms scattered about. Park system=tech issue. Chased down for $, had just paid (only 1 other family there-forgot already??)
- 92 county walk around outside of museum is way cool; get a map from Guest Services to explain all. Read more
