- Cory GiovanellaJuly 5, 2013New paleontology hall is impressive but not for young kids. It's designed for older kids/ adults.
- Nicolas Gonzales NagelsApril 23, 2013Used to be a rather mediocre science museum ... but no longer ... The new Paleontology Hall is a massive improvement. Butterfly center remains a fantastic experience, especially with small children.
