What wonderful museum to visit with your family. It's small but there's 3 floors of history and educational games and activities for children of all ages. They also have a planetam show every 15 to 30 minutes. They also have a nice gift shop, small but alot to choose from. The prices were average for a small museum.
A quaint but elegant museum, the mini planetarium was nice. The curator was very animated and engaging, enthusiastic about her work.
They have some really cool specimens on display. Admission is free so check it out sometime.
Good short children's museum. Also wasn't bad to have a 7 year birthday party.
Small and friendly... We had the planetarium all to our selves. Miss seeing the Egypt display with Mommy.
The staff was friendly. The museum was interesting. A bit smaller than I expected but nice. I also will say that the upstairs was kind of open with a rail around the open area that looked below but it was scary having small children up there. That being said it was still a pleasant experience and the fossils in the basement were very interesting.
Fun museum that tucked away in Battle Creek. Its small but does have a certain charm to it.
The animals are beautifully preserved, and it is certainly a good way to spend an hour. Plus, free admission.
I grew up going the this museum, every year on a school field trip. I loved it then and wish we had something like it where I live now. Kinsman is a great place to to have fun learning.
We always have a great time at Kingman. I visited as a child and now I bring my children. I'm so grateful that they've been able to adapt and bring the museum outside 1x week while the museum is closed due to COVID. The displays and activities don't disappoint. I learn right along with my kiddos!
