We had such a successful, wonderful and educational field trip!! The students were able to learn so much about how their systems works and functions. The Museum is very clean and restrooms are close by. The Gift shop is great, full of fun things for parents to buy for kids and adults.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
First time attending and we ended up going on museum day, which admission was free. The museum was small but amazing. My 11 year old daughter had so much fun and even my 11 month old got to crawl in the intestine. Loved it!Visited onWeekendWait timeUp to 10 minPrice for adult entryFree
It is not just a museum with past memories. Instead, it contains information of the present and the future tech and science. Anybody enters into the building will carry an abundance on knowledge. The latest addition to the museum has all about humans and artificial intelligence. Everyone living in this areas must visit this place. They also offer free entry on a specific day.
Love it! Plenty of games related to all their interesting exhibitions. You get to learn a lot while you're having fun. Great museum for the whole family.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYesPrice for adult entryFree
This was a really fun and informative outing for the whole family! The kids raced in a bike with a skeleton displaying what they looked like from the inside, they popped out of a colon a little gross on closer inspection, but they liked it and there were many rain teaser kiosks most of which we . The lab was closed, which was a bummer, and the nail biting hydro was a bit silly, but we all had a great time! We bought some terrific gifts at the shop, including a squishy brain, a skull and a brain stem key chain. I really wanted to buy the heart if hold, but it was a little pricey. The museum district is beautiful and pleasant. Easy to find parking
I have not been here since the that middle school field trip. Coming back to the museum as an adult brings out a different perspective. It was a fun experience. So many interactive areas which my fiancé and I enjoyed. The heart pulse was nice to see as well. Friendly staff and very helpful. Only suggestion is having a lot of these interaction areas working. There were maybe about 8 stations where the tv screen was not working or frozen.
It's not so attractive and doesn't have specific things. Only has 3 part: health body, cell lab which was closed and small par for agriculture. Not waste your money
It was good but small, the ear area was closed. Finished within 2hrs or less. If you purchase the other activities available it could be longer. It's fun.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entryFree
This was my first time at the Health Museum and it was the best. The gentleman who assisted me was very polite and friendly. They have a great gift shop and I wanted to get one of everything! The exhibitions are great for adults and kids. My son asked me 100 questions about every exhibition we walked through. It’s a great place for children to experience interactive areas. I would definitely return. I went on a Friday morning and it was not packed and I was able to walk through without crowds, take my time viewing everything without having to rush through.
I think it's more geared towards families with kids. Being a lab scientist this is way more basic than I was expecting so I'm glad I went on Thursday when it's free. If you do have kids I highly recommend the cell lab, it was closed when I went but it looks like something I wish I saw when I was a kid.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait
