We always have a great time at Kingman. I visited as a child and now I bring my children. Im so grateful that theyve been able to adapt and bring the museum outside 1x week while the museum is closed due to COVID. The displays and activities dont disappoint. I learn right along with my kiddos!

They have some really cool specimens on display. Admission is free so check it out sometime.

Fun museum that tucked away in Battle Creek. Its small but does have a certain charm to it.

A quaint but elegant museum, the mini planetarium was nice. The curator was very animated and engaging, enthusiastic about her work.

Good short childrens museum. Also wasnt bad to have a 7 year birthday party.

What wonderful museum to visit with your family. Its small but theres 3 floors of history and educational games and activities for children of all ages. They also have a planetam show every 15 to 30 minutes. They also have a nice gift shop, small but alot to choose from. The prices were average for a small museum.

Small and friendly... We had the planetarium all to our selves. Miss seeing the Egypt display with Mommy.

The staff was friendly. The museum was interesting. A bit smaller than I expected but nice. I also will say that the upstairs was kind of open with a rail around the open area that looked below but it was scary having small children up there.That being said it was still a pleasant experience and the fossils in the basement were very interesting.

Great museum with local items and items from around the world collected by Battle Creek families through history. My natural history living 12-year-old loved it.As the owner of #ToursAroundMichigan, Im a history fan myself and found extra tidbits to share on local history tours.

Great, fantastic place to take the kids. Very easy on the budget as they do not charge for 99% of what they offer! Only things that cost are planetarium and the gift shop.

The animals are beautifully preserved, and it is certainly a good way to spend an hour. Plus, free admission.

It has been YEARS since I last visited Kingman Museum. So long ag that I didnt have any idea what to expect. We were delighted to find many interesting and informative exhibits and a small planetarium. It was a great time! I am sad now that I waited so long to get back there!

Its a very small old museum that is a little quirky and a little dated but still fun

I was expecting a smaller version of the Field Museum in Chicago, but was a little disappointed. The museum is more for children than adults. Mostly they have collections on animal skeletons, taxidermy, and rocks and minerals. I liked the brachiosaurus femur bone, the megalodon teeth, and their massive rock collection in the basement. But be sure to go on the weekend where admission is free.

Such an interesting museum. We really enjoyed ourselves. Glad we stopped, just in Battle Creek for the day.

This is a little hidden gem. I used to go here when I was a kid. It was nice to come back with my kids.

Cute little Museum. Not much has changed since I was little though

I might be wrong it has been 20 years. The exhibits seem alot smaller then I remember. The lighting on the exhibits need to be reworked. Should be more lights inside of the glass enclosure instead of spotlights in the middle of the room. The staff was friendly and willing to help with anything we needed or any questions. Kinda wish there was more to see or just something new to refresh the exhibits.

We went on a school field trip. It was a really neat place to take the kids to learn a lot and to have some fun with history! Beautiful scenery all around also!

Very informational, lots of interesting exhibits. Kids loved the scavenger hunt

Really cool place to visit can learn so much

We had a great time! Kids enjoyed the scavengerhunt..

Fascinating out of the way place to spend part of an afternoon.

We went to see Paleo Joe, it was a nice lecture of just under an hour with a tour/question and answer session down stairs with the fossils and rock exhibits. We planned on going to a planetarium show afterwards, however we did not know it would be closed because thats where the lecture was taking place until we arrived.

A quaint small building from the outside packed with 3 floors of artifacts. A beautiful educational wonder.

Its fun the first time, but its a small museum and never gets new exhibits, so Id recommend just going once, but only just once.

The museum has so many things you wouldnt expect to find In a small museum. The staff is kind and knowledgeable, highly recommended!

Battle Creek nice town and the Kinsman museum was worth the visit. Great little planetarium presentation as well. Beautiful grounds flowers fountains Arbors.

Good place for size it is. Also it is free to enter.

Rachel is a lovely soul.. Planetarium was as fantastic

An awesome little museum. Perfect for younger kids. Not great for older ones because it is very small.

Free museum, lots of interesting artifacts, and the planeterium show was fun.

The children had a great time.

Really great memories of this place from my childhood. As a local student youd visit at least once a year throughout elementary school. Also the sledding in the winter is awesome.

Had a great time with my granddaughters

Nice museum, great walking grounds. Pokemon Go folks will love the walking path.

A very interesting place to vist & for young minds to learn about history and the future.

Perfect way to spend the day.

Great experience for the kids! Watch their calendar for awesome events

Great place for little kids , my 2 year old loved it . Its very hands on. Its smaller but it makes for a great afternoon of family time and learning.

Great place to take the kid.

Very nice little museum. A nice variety of exhibits.
