What families say

Families generally love this spot for its Native American and Western art collections, kid-friendly play corners, a hands-on kids' exhibit downstairs, and peaceful themed gardens worth exploring—plan for at least 2 hours to see both. Note that construction has closed parts of the grounds recently and some garden sections (like the Pre-Columbian and Pioneer gardens) have been called neglected, so check current status before you go. Also worth knowing: visiting exhibits can vary in intensity (one reviewer flagged a Pulitzer exhibit as too heavy for young kids), so it's smart to check what's currently showing.
