Review №1

This is a lovely oasis of calm, where one can contemplate God’s creation and the beauty of nature. It may be small compared to Natural History museums in big cities, but it is powerful in its message. Having loved science my whole life, I can sense the respect and reverence put into this museum and its exhibits. This is the perfect place to bring your children or grandchildren. The taxidermy alone is incredible and the specimens come from all over the world. My favorite exhibit was the mineral spheres. These were not mass produced for gift shops. These were lovingly, meticulously, and individually made by one man, as a hobby he enjoyed. My husband, daughter, and I really enjoyed our afternoon here. Go see it!

This is a perfect place to go with kids. So many animal specimens and minerals. It’s totally indoor with ac, so perfect choice during hot days. The staff is super nice. We met Alejandrina, she is beautiful, enthusiastic and patient!!! We plan to go next Saturday again! Oh, and it’s free!

Small but packed with interesting specimens of preserved animals, rocks and minerals, fossils, and a few native peoples objects. Dont miss the fluorescent mineral display in the back corner. Open only on Saturday from 2-5 pm. Access campus through front entrance gate. Guard at gate can provide campus map and directions.

Thrilled and honored to have personally been invited for a private tour with world renown curator Dr Billy Hankins, who is also an excellent dermatologist and wonderful professor. I did not know anything about taxidermy until I came, and I left with an amazing breadth of education about this field
