Earth Experience - Middle Tennessee Museum of Natural History

This is a great place for nature lovers. The museum houses thousands of specimens,ranging from fossils and petrified wood,to beautiful stones and crystals. Each piece has an identification card,so you know where it originated. Earth Experience is kid-friendly,as there are hands-on specimens available,not to mention the giant T-Rex skeleton,which is sure to impress almost anyone! There are plenty of great photo opportunities,and while the museum is small,they pack a lot into that space. It takes about an hour to get through the exhibits,more if you stop to read each card. There is an on-site gift shop where you can purchase samples of stones,and if you have questions,the staff is amazing and so passionate about their work.

Big things do come in small packages in this place. Beautiful collections of minerals, fossils and even jewelry! Lots of good information easy to understand with a bit of science mixed in.

Great place! If you wanna see some cool rocks (trust me, they can be) and a big ol’ T-Rex, go by there!

A lot of really interesting things to see. My children absolutely loved all of the dinosaur stuff they have.

I could not believe how interactive the entire museum was and how many amazing exhibits they have in such a small space. I literally found myself missing cool treasures because they are everywhere. Plus let's be honest the T-Rex...enough said. Nothing else in the area even comes close.
