What families say
This museum is a hit for kids fascinated by rocks and space, offering hands-on touching of actual moon and Mars meteorites plus two floors of stunning gem, tourmaline, and mineral displays. Families report spending anywhere from a quick stop to 2-3 hours exploring, with a 9-year-old enjoying the interactive exhibits, drawer displays, and a meteorite video with sound and lights. Staff are consistently praised as friendly, and there's a gift shop where kids can pick out their own stones or jewelry to take home.
