This amazing museum is filled with interesting exhibits that cover a range of topics that will excite and amaze. Across four floors of these permanent exhibit halls, you will find lost civilizations, wildlife wonders and historic revelations.
There are a number of permanent exhibits such as uncovering fossils from creatures that walked the earth millions of years ago - yep - dinosaurs!
You can discover Ancient Egypt and look at how they used to live, write, and play. Want to stroll through Africa? Perhaps you want to discover how the elements we have in chemistry form the building blocks of life!
Do you know what Malacology is? When you head to the Strake Hall of Malacology you will find out!
Have you ever wondered what happens to civilizations when they just suddenly disappear? Then you will want to see China's Lost Civilization exhibit, where you can examine the 3500 year old mystery of a culture that just vanished. A great way for the kids to use their imagination! It's topics like that which feature in some of the special exhibitions they have!
Of course - we could go on, but then we wouldn't be able to tell you all about the other attractions at the museum. The beautiful Butterfly Center lets the whole family walk through an amazing butterfly habitat, and look at all the amazing colors and species of butterfly.
Did we mention the Planetarium too! There are amazing films based about space that you can experience, as well as being able to experience the wonders of space!
