We got the early access pass. It included all the exhibits and a 3D movie. Only things we paid for while there was souvenirs and food. With the early access ticket you enter the museum an hour before it opens and get a tour. Our tour guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable. We parked across the street in the parking garage. It's $30 for all day. Easy check in and out. Don't lose your ticket! You pay for parking on the way out at a kiosk then have 15 minutes to exit. We spent about 7 hours in the museum. Great day!

This was a very unique experience. We were 2 of 3 people on the tour so it truly felt like we had the museum to ourselves. This museum is filled with interesting exhibits and covers history, science, different cultures, and many more fun topics. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. If you wanna avoid the crowds, i recommend this tour!

We loved the tour. Are guide was wonderful.. we were lucky that it was just the three of us so it was a private tour. Then we where able to explore the rest of the museum.

A great Museum with a variety of different cultural. Yes, they have dinosaurs, also Egyptian display, my favorite was the gems and more. Plan ahead to spend at least 3 hours to get through the Museum. Plenty of things to see even had mummies if that is your thing. The staff was very helpful and friendly ask for a map so you can plan which floor or exhibits want to go to first. Check the dates since they are closed Tuesday and Wednesday.

This was so worth it! I went with my son, who thought it was so cool that we got to go into the museum before anyone else. We were the only people in the dinosaur exhibit! Max took us around, and was so knowledgeable. We learned a ton. Great experience!
