“I was very impressed with the museum itself, but blown away by the time Jay and his staff spent with my students. Jay took my students into a classroom after they finished up the scavenger hunt and went over each question with them.

I cannot wait to go back and take my young son”

– K. Maloy, Norman, OK

“I will admit, when we drove up, I wasn t quite sure what to expect. But then, we walked in the front door and I was simply amazed. It has been a couple of weeks later and my family still talks about it. My 15 year old daughter now wants to become an osteologist. To top it off, many museums are all about the money. Here, we find a great museum that has low entry fees and even lets you take pictures You even gave us a military discount We will be back.”
