Jacob's Review:  They have animals you can play with, turtle, guinea pigs, rabbits and snakes - but don't play with the alligator - it could bite you. There are more animals and also some skeletons in the science room. (The bird really can talk!) There is a costume room you can dress up in. There is a bee hive in glass - they fly in through glass tubes and you can see them making honey. There is a real TP in the Indian room. Then they have the Bubble room - it is clean messy. There is bubble experiments, colored bubbles and a bubble wall. There is also a bubble tube you can stand in and make a giant bubble all around you!

Dad's Notes:  Butterfly room in spring w/live butterflies. Electricity room teaches about electricity with neat experiments. Optical Illusions, Live animals, Bubble experiments, this is not just a Childrens museum - but truly a hands on learning experience.
