Sternberg Museum of Natural History

Stopped here while going through town, it was a great museum, the kids loved it. Lots of cool things to look at. It was free to enter using the sunflower summer app

A must see if you're passing by Hays KS on I70. Excellent natural history exhibits with great fossils and many live animals. Exhibit with 20+ live rattlesnake varieties was great. Kids would love it!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10

We enjoyed our visit to the museum. It was a Sunday afternoon, there were families with children enjoying the educational experience. It's big and there are many different features, so there will be sections of more or less interest to everyone. I personally found a couple sections a little boring, and then other sections very interesting. Amazing fossils. The only part I didn't like at all was the two big beautiful tortoises living in a dark walled corner area with concrete floors and nothing natural in their surroundings at all. It just seemed so cold and cruel. Besides that, I recommend it as a nice way to spend a few hours.

Had a wonderful time with my young son. He especially enjoyed the fish within a fish and the robotic T Rex.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Incredible, definitely worth the trip! The displays are creative and skillfully done. Love the live animals too. The reptiles,mostly native, were housed perfectly in super clean environments. Well done Sternberg and the gift shop carries an array of Kansas authors and educational as well as just plain fun books to add to my collection,! Will go again

Such a great museum! My mind was boggled by all the ancient things found in Kansas. I learned a lot. Staff was nice was well. The gift shop prices were so reasonable too!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$6–10

I was impressed with how cool this place was. We were able to visit for free using the Sunflower Summer app. There were really neat artifacts, crystals, animals, etc. My kids really enjoyed this place.

It was a lot of full the staff were very nice and helpful! The exhibits were cool all the live animals were a surprise and the stuff there for little ones to do was great! This was worth the drive from Wichita. You can easily spend two hours here if you got kiddos and they love dinosaurs and all things animals and exploring

A gem my family has visited throughout the years. With great fossils and live animals from snakes to dart frogs, it's a fun experience I enjoyed greatly in my childhood. Well worth popping in if you and your family are in the area.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot surePrice for adult entry$6–10
