Reviewers with preschool and elementary-age kids stayed about three hours. Lots of hands-on exhibits. The Steam Lab runs on timed entry, so ask for the wristband at the front desk when you arrive. There is outdoor space for lunch and short trails. Some galleries are quiet, so noise carries.
Regional museum with dinosaur fossils, an extensive bird-egg collection, and hands-on natural-history exhibits spanning anthropology, biology, paleontology, and geology. It's part of a small county-run museum system that also includes the Victor Valley Museum in Apple Valley.

Fun and cool. Lots of fun hands on experiences. There is a vending machine and a drinking fountain. No wait. 10$ for adult 5$ for child. There was a few little kids that were loud and a bit annoying in the quiet environments but that's okay.No stress just fun. They should probably add mini donks.

This museum is a surprising treasure with many thoughtful and well-curated exhibits on art, local history, and a sampling of various sciences. There are many interactive activities that both adults and kids can enjoy. This was honestly the only interesting place to visit in the area and in my opinion, the quality and attention to detail of the exhibits is on par, if not better, than the Natural History and California Science museums in LA.
