What a local treasure my son found this on his last visit down here. We loved it. Some of the fossles left me speachless

The Mace Brown Museum of Natural History is a cool museum on the campus of College of Charleston. They have really cool collections of dinosaurs and other interesting prehistoric creatures. I have learned a lot and have been surprised every time I have visited. I really enjoy this museum and it is a great educational resource.

My son had a great time! It is just one room so know that before you go. He was especially wowed by the Meglodon. Having stuff that he could touch was especially fun for him.

Cool little spot. The museum is pretty small, but its really well curated with a lot of good stuff to Wade through. Could easily make your way through in 20-30 minutes, but could also spend way over an hour if you want to go in depth in the exhibits. Also a big us that it is free, so it was the perfect thing to do between conference sessions. I would highly recommend.

What a wonderful place.. very nice ppl

Small, but a gem. Lots of informational displays and a large sand box, in which children are welcome to dig for fossil treasures! We came home with 4 tiny shark teeth and a tiny vertebrae. Also, there are students who run the museum...talk to them! They have a wealth of information to share. :)

This small but delightful museum is a great place to take kids! One highlight is the sand box (happily, the sides are high and kids dont seem inclined to climb in) that the staff stock with interesting stones, fossils, and artifacts for kids to dig up and take home. The cave bear and mosasaur exhibits are particularly impressive.The docent on the day we went, Shelley, was knowledgeable, friendly, and had clear respect for the museum and the work of its curators. The museum takes up just two rooms on the second floor of the School of Sciences and Mathematics Building at the College of Charleston, so its easy to get to everything.

Cool little museum. Students do a lot of good work in there. I always enjoyed stopping in during my time between classes. Pretty cool exhibits and they do a great job with maintaining them. They also do a good job of providing informative descriptions and the staff present are always very knowledgeable.

This is such a great museum. Its concise, but they have a stellar collection. The students/staff working are eager to offer educational insights and explanations. They always make it extra fun and engaging for my boys.

Small museum in the math and sciences building at College of Charleston. They have gorgeous t-rex and pteranadon skeletons in the lobby of the building. Definitely worth a visit.

Website says it’s open, but it is not.If you can’t even manage to simply indicate when the premise are closed, I can’t imagine how you are managing your inventory...

A great little museum with some terrific fossils.

This place is quite cool. Relatively small, but you should take the time and visit. We had questions, and the on site docent, Kory, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful

Small museum thats part of the University. Free but they do appreciate donations. My eldest loves it.

Great exhibit. Very educational. Definitely recommend to all!

Mace Brown Museum of Natural History was such fun! They have an extensive exhibit and informative student/staff. It was a perfect way to spend a hot summer day indoors :)

Very small but has great pieces.

This is a hidden gem for teachers and lovers of information. They love to share information and it’s great to seethe students at work.

Popped into n here to avoid a torrential downpour and was pleasantly surprised! Free admission (donations accepted), intimate, highly informative, and the gal at the desk was great with my kids. Sadly the T-Rex skeleton had gone back to its home in indiana, but there was still plenty to keep the kids interested for about an hour. Nice little museum!

Interesting , but small museum. Worth a visit regardless

This is a small but excellent fossil museum.It highlights much of the ancient fauna that existed in this area, but it has other exhibits as wellThe admission is free, but there is a spot for donations.

Super cool fossils and things to touch! Free and parking was convenient $2/hr

Our family had a great time. Our son is obsessed with fossils and dinosaurs and this exhibit is the best option in Charleston.

Thank you Mace Brown Museum of Natural History, very cool!

Wonderful museum for all ages! Dont miss this fascinating collection of fossils.

History rocks! Prices are a bit high but no big deal. Museums can get old (haha) but not when they rotate exhibits like this one. It is kid friendly and very informative. Also, if you bring your kids, there will be enough to keep you involved as well.

What a wonderful museum. They have an amazing display on the evolution of whales. Great displays centered around teeth and other interesting facts. Lots of trilobites and other early aquatic life. Things for the littler kids to do. And wonderful staff. Not open on Wednesdays. Classes offered in geology, paleontology, and other sciences. Contact Dr. Beutel

Small but very cool, my kids and I loved it.

Its a great little Hidden Gem in the heart of Charleston. Not to mention its free! They have a lot of cool skeletons and some really cool fossils that really show some of the interesting life that was around Charleston a long time ago.

This is an awesome place if you like historical stuff. You learn amazing things. A must go to place.

A great place to visit to see knowledge from fossils to biological phenomena. Also has a gorgeous back yard as well! :D

Free admission, metered parking, pretty cool stuff but only about a room and a half worth of mostly fossils.Dont fill the meter its about a half hour visit tops.

Great place to visit . Inside the university, and free..Not really large but ,its a learning enviroment.

For the total experience here, take the fun tour with Daniel Robinson!

One room Museum does have interesting fossils. Works on donations. Wish it was bigger.

Best megaladon teeth in charleston

Very informative, and free. Definitely recommend to anyone who is interested.

Cool exhibit does not cost but they do take donations

Small and quiet. The grad student is usually free to answer any questions. You wont spend an afternoon here but definitely can kill a few hours for nothing but a donation.

Awesome!

Went and sign on door said they were cloised (unexpectedly of course). Very disappointing. Probably could have better staffing available for such unexpected events.

A totally awesome hidden gem downtown.

Great place to take children, lots of dinosaur bones. It is free.

Love it

This small museum has an AWESOME Archaeocete and early Odontocete exhibit (Showing the evolution of whales). Theres tons of other fossils, from the Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and the Cenozoic. All the local South Carolina fossils are showcased. The Mosasaur and Pleistocene Megafauna (Giant Ground sloths, glyptodonts, etc...) exhibit is also great!

Interesting find walking around!

Wow! What a superb fossil collection.
