State natural science museum with live aquarium, wildlife exhibits, and fossil collections covering Mississippi ecology, geology, and biodiversity.

What families say
Families consistently love the big native-species aquarium, animatronic dinosaurs, and an outdoor dinosaur trail, with exhibits organized by region of the state so kids can connect animals to habitats. It's a hit for younger kids especially, with knowledgeable staff praised for engaging children directly and even hosting themed birthday parties. Reviews mention some ongoing construction, so it may be worth calling ahead to confirm all exhibits are open, and parking and admission were both described as easy and reasonable.
