I love taking my niece and nephew here! They love seeing all the dinosaur fossils and being able to read about history! Such a fun and learning experience during the summer! Afterwards stop by the gift shop and grab a souvenir! Thank you MSU museum for doing such a fantastic job!

Got to go for the first time ever, with my boyfriend, his daughter and her grandparents. I had a blast. Ive never gotten to see dinosaur bones in person til then!

We had an absolute blast exploring this little Museum. The cost was a suggested donation. And parking was quite reasonable and right outside of the museum. It was very fun to walk around and see all the different exhibits. Would gladly return on a future visit. Favorite part was definitely the Interactive Globe which we played with her quite a while

This place was great. Very few people inside. Parking was easy. And maps were available right at the front. Someone was even there on a saterday to talk to kids about the dinosaur fossils and stuff. All in all its a perfect little museum.

The parking experience is absolutely crazy but as long as you like walking its fine. My son loved it and thats all that matters to me.

Nice stop after spending the morning at the zoo. A lot of good items for such a small museum. Our kids had a chance to grind coffee at the general store and recieved post cards for their effort.

What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Loads of great displays and the fossils on the third floor are amazing.

Fantastic little museum. I love dinosaurs. They had several fossils and a couple full sized replicas of some bigger dinosaurs. Definitely worth the visit. Free entrance (donations if you can) and $2.50 to park. A great little visit. Tool is about an hour and half for the full thing.

I loved it. I took my 5 kids aged 5-15 and my nephew who is 14 and they loved it. In the basement they have activity backpacks to use while you walk around for younger kids and toddlers.

It was a very nice place. I wish it was larger, and cooler, but they just dont have the room. I enjoyed how close we could get to the exhibits and the old time Michigan stores inside to look at.

What An awesome University to visit , many things to do and see. A beautiful campus that has over 7 great looking Gardena.

A gem in plain site! We loved it and will bring our grandkids back to see such a variety of things. Theres little guaranteed parking right there. We were able to get a visitors parking pass but only a few spots. We were lucky! A busy day could be a problem. Limit was 2 hrs w/ pass which was a fair amount of time. The pass is $2.50 at the museum store. If you are able to walk, theres parking within walking distance. I highly recommend coming by. Its free but donations are encouraged. The store has a nice variety of things for all ages. I would love to see the animals come alive after dark just like in the movie Night in the Museum!

Really cool. The MSU sexual assault survivor exhibit was really emotional and beautifully done.

Visited on a lovely Michigan day--cool, breezy, sunny. Walked around the MSU Horticulture Gardens--somewhat smaller than I thought it would be, but some nice perennial gardens and beautiful flowers. A small but interesting childrens garden area where bees and bee houses are showcased. I happened to come when there was an art fair on campus, but even so, there were few people or cars on this summer Sunday. I really appreciated that there are so many areas to park on the weekend--makes this a very visitor friendly campus. Additionally, there are roads throughout the campus that are open to general traffic, so you can really see the campus by car--nice since this is a very large campus.

Apparently, this museum has witnessed the passage of time. Enter the Hall of Animal Diversity and you will see a classic 20th-century natural history museum exhibition. But the oldies can sure be goodies. I find Collections Connections to be really educational. And the Hall of World Cultures is thoughtfully curated and has interesting pieces of work.That being said, there were also things to quibble about in my visit: quite a few multimedia screens were out of order; reflective glass and strong sunlight sometimes made it difficult to appreciate the details of structures in the Heritage Hall; the coat room on the ground level was not labeled on the floor plan; and one display case in the world culture exhibition was empty without a sign stating why. Last, as mens and womens restrooms are on different floors, I think it may be better to make them all-gender.Still, I would definitely recommend visiting this place if you are in the area. Despite a few factors that may affect your visiting experience, the exhibitions here are consistently informative, and admission to the Museum is free (with suggested donation).

It was fun and the food was delicious

Always love the museum. Been coming since college and the experience is small but lets you get right into the exhibits.

If you ever visit campus at MSU for a Saturday or Sunday stroll please take the time to visit this outstanding museum.

My daughter and I visit this museum often. The exhibits on the main floor change often, so it is always a fun place to return to often. On the third floor they have sit-down drawing activities for visitors and a display board you can pin your art work to. The butterfly exhibit is always intriguing (and do not miss out on using the magnifying glass on them). The staff is always friendly and informative. Donations are welcomed. Parking pass is available at the gift shop. The gift shop is reasonably priced, and although it is small it has quite a variety of ever changing items.

Had fun with the kids.. Not very big but still very informational

Nice little museum.

A nice museum to take children to. Very nice learning experience.

Lovely museum with lots of great exhibits on the history and natural history of Michigan. Centrally located on the MSU campus. Something for everyone!

I loved coming here as a kid, and I still love it 20 years later. A great place to stop by with kids.

Only small donation to get in. Older exhibits, but great information, and overall vibe.

It was toddler day and the kids had a good time doing all the extra activities. Not easy getting the stroller up each floor.

Wanted to check out their Darwin Birthday event. Geared towards kids, undergrad and grad students presented so many aspects of our natural world and history in a manner very engaging with children. Even adults could learn from the format offered, very well done and proud of the grad students who were there and I get to support at the MSU Kellogg Biological Station.

So fun and so much to see. Smaller exhibits so it doesnt take the entire day. We love coming here.

Highly recommend visiting the exhibit that highlights the strength of each survivor.

Wonderful little on-campus museum with a surprising amount of interesting artifacts and exhibits, including several animals and fossils. Great spot to bring kids. Some hands-on stuff, but not a “children’s museum,” per se. Still, they’ll enjoy seeing elephant skulls, dinosaur bones, etc. Totally free entrance, donations accepted. You do need to pay $2 for parking.

A bit small, but it is free, so still worth the visit IF you were going to be in the area anyway. Exhibit layout is efficient. There is an audio tour available for parts of the Museum via your cellphone. But if you use it, know that the recording assumes that you will walk those exhibits in a counter-clockwise manner.All-and-all, it is a nice place to visit if you are in the area, but not worth building your entire day around.

Great place. My kid has a slight obsession with dinosaurs lately and this was a perfect place to go for him to see the dinosaur bones! We had a great time, and learned alot!

Great place to visit and its free, though donations are appreciated! Just a very cool place to visit and learn something new

There is a section dedicated to the survivors of the Larry Nassar scandal that I think every student past or present should go see.

Great little museum. Small but full of surprises. Free admission and worth exploring.

This was a nice little museum with a variety of neat things to see. Parking is somewhat difficult. If you are not able to get a museum patron spot in front of the museum, you can pull up in front, purchase a hang tag from information, and they will advise you on where to park.

Nice treasure in the heart of the MSU campus. Went for the new abuse victim exhibit but enjoyed several others as well. Parked less than two blocks away..free on Sat!

Great museum with a lot of interesting exhibits. My only complaint is the lack of air conditioning throughout so beware for those with young kids and the elderly, it gets very warm in the summertime.Its free to visit but donations are welcome. My family and I love visiting and who doesnt like seeing dinosaur bones? ;)

Nice little museum. Great displays! Especially loved the sister survivors section. It was very moving.

The MSU Museum is very cool and their staff is super nice! I could roam around this place for hours.

My family and I loved it

Unfortunately, MSUs museum suffers from being stale. The only floor worth seeing is the one with the taxidermy and its a half hour max of experiences. The basement levels exhibits look faded and poorly organized.It was cool to see the bones, but we probably wont be back any time soon.

A lot of fun for the whole family. Great way to spend an afternoon on campus.

Excellent place for a field trip! The education coordinator was very helpful and accommodating! My class loved it! Thank you!

Fun place, nice artifacts and DINOSAURS. The Dinos were absolutely positively fantastic.

Great exhibits, cutting edge special exhibitions, lots on Michigan, nature, and culture.

The free museum in MSU, which holds some professional exhibitions from time to time, is a good place for individuals or families to study.

Its a wonderful place for inquisitive minds to explore. Several touchable displays.

Interesting exhibits, nice variety. Poor floor plan flow between rooms and signage indicating directions was scarce.

It was fun lots of things to see and learn about.

Awesome I love msu as well though

Dinosaur fossils and tons of taxidermy plus a rotating art exhibit, and its all for free!

Great place to go to and lurn about r histry...

I didnt know this existed. Great walk through with kids!

I loved it it was soooo awesome

Theres always so much to do here and we love when they get new things! Great for all ages!

Decent exhibits. Not terribly interesting for little kids, but its free (parking was $2) so the value is great. Its small but plenty of interesting things to see for the grown ups.

Great way to teach interest and wonder in the little ones. Wide collection that ranges from animal dioramas to an African village.

Nice place to visit. I enjoyed my visit and I will definitely go back again to see all these historical stuff.

Sister Survivors exhibit was heartbreaking and wonderful.

It was ok.. T Rex skull was the highlight for me

Free admission, and they usually have at least one exhibit that relates to current events.

Small. Good place to take kids. Gift shop is a good place to find nice inexpensive gifts

Great way to spend a day at their dino exhibit^_^.

Very small, it was not worth the trip.

A nice little outing if youre looking for something free to do. Youd be surprised at how much is actually inside the building! Though the museum could use some modernizing to make it a little more interesting, I would still recommend visiting. There is so much to see that you wouldnt expect to be in such a small, local area.

I basically grew up here and though Ive moved away to NYC I hope to bring my daughter here some day. Some of the exhibits need updating, but the fact it hasnt changed much since I was a kid is kind of comforting. I great place to visit with kids. Its never super crowded and you can see everything in an hour or two. Yes, there are dinosaurs and a small Egypt exhibit. What else does a kid need?

Great experience for the kidsScience fair activities were free. Loved the museum and butterfly garden!

Great museum for a quick day trip. Hardly anyone there and very inexpensive.

I would have given 5 stars but it was so hot inside the building we couldnt stay that long.

Nice displays. Well done and interesting.

Very fun loved the butterflies

Best feild trip ever

A very good museum for its size. A must see for every MSU student in my opinion.

My kids and I went out there on a Saturday. Not a soul was there. It was a nice 1hr walk around the building. Not very interesting for kids, but a nice free activity. Some interesting stuff for adults. Beautiful building.

Pretty cool museum with pretty cool ppl..

Great way to spend some free time while visiting the area!

Good place to study history.

Good Musem, you should visit at least once

Nice place to take your kids

The museum is small, but has some good exhibits. (They also have some strange ones in the temporary exhibit area - I usually stick with the permanent ones.) My daughter is a fan of the stuffed animal area, and I liked the various environment / terrain pieces. Their recreation of early 19th / early 20th century stores is also interesting.

Great for kids as well!

Great locale for our work party

It was ok. Really small.

What a fun and unexpected treat to see their museum.

Loved all of the informational tid bits

Theres a mammoth skull

They do in fact have some anthropologies.

Small but nice

Great hands-on fun for the family!

Few artifacts spaced very far apart. Lots of walking. No consideration for disabled people who have a hard time walking

Pretty cool. Check out the dinosaurs.

Nice exhibitions

Amazing place for an evening with your children

Great cultural experience for the whole family

Great experience as well as the stuff interacting with us

So fun and educational

Been here a bunch!

A little bit of everything.

Not mush there to see..
