  Ever since I was a child, I loved butterflies. I loved the concept that an ugly caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly. I found this concept to be a metaphor for like. In fact, my husband and I went on our third date here while we were dating and we absolutely loved the butterfly exhibit. I could not recommend the academy of nature science museum enough. Great for young children and for adults! Enjoy!

  A great museum geared towards young learners. There is a display of dinosaur bones though not vast can be quite impressive to a young child. There's also an area for little ones to pretend to be paleontologists and dig for bones. Other sections of the museum are very educational. There's an auditorium that sometimes has live animal shows which are educational. The displays are very dimly lit on the 1st level and 2nd floor I'm guessing for preservation purposes. My 2 1/2 yo son seemed somewhat disinterested by it and/or scared. The 3rd floor is a fun place for little ones with lots of live insects and bunny rabbits were there when I went, a sandbox with buckets and shovels/other digging materials were there which my son loved at his age. Staff would bring some insects out on occasion and talk about them with older kids. There is also an area with butterflies which is very hot. You definitely want to 'check your coat in' during winter months as the museum is fairly warm with winter clothing on. There's no actual check in though with someone supervising your jackets so your discretion is warranted though I can't say I've ever had a problem there. I would go with a full stomach as I did not see an area for eating or walk with snacks for younger ones. Lastly, there's a gift shop to find cute little gifts/ items. A fun and inexpensive activity/gift right outside of the gift shop near the staircase is a penny grinder that costs 51 cents and is fun for little kids.

  Excellent family museum. Rare and interesting specimens (both skeleton and taxidermy). The presentation of these is very nice.
  
  The butterfly room is awesome for all ages. It's like a miniature version of Butterfly World (an indoor museum down in Florida), with live animals flying around as you walk through.
  
  For kids there are some interactive exhibits and some small animals to observe. The "big dig" (a fossil excavation exercise) is particularly great for young ones.

  This was a family outing with a five year old. I was more than impressed with the variety of experiences. The granddaughter was a bit overwhelmed with the entrance, so we passed by the dinosaurs to start. We found the digging for dinosaurs section and she quickly warmed up to her setting. We enjoyed the live show and the butterfly room. We came back to the dinosaurs and she is still talking about the many animal dioramas. We spent a couple hours here. I highly recommend this museum.

  We love this place and it's such a great place to bring curious young kids to enjoy themselves in a healthy and educational environment that can nourish their excitement for learning and education. It's great that it's so hands on because it makes them feel apart of it and they can learn from the experience much better than a book or picture. Also more affordable than other museums in the area by alot. ???? ????????❤️ Definitely 5 stars
