The museum had interesting and varied exhibits. Explore the abotiginal experience, or interact with dinosaurs ! There were many different types of displays, including audio visual, interactive and static. The layout is spacious and allows for a smooth transition between exhibits without feeling rushed or crowded.

The auto-locking glass doors for the indoor plant sanctuary failed to open for us and many other museum goers. Many exhibits were closed also. Overall the museum was otherwise lovely :)

The design of the sections was fantastic. However, the forest section was all blocked off with no indication of this upon ticket purchase. There was a number of things missing from displays which is fine for a few but it seemed like there was far too much. I also pre-purchased tickets but wasn't given the option to purchase a concession ticket.

My 2 grandsons were completely absorbed in the displays, and were continually 'wowed' as we moved around the museum.
