Maybe if the entrance fee was less and I didn't have to watch some creepy movie in the planetarium about made up future animals. Felt like I was on someone's bad drug trip. Not a lot to look at.

In Battle Creek for the worlds longest breakfast table event. Drove 2 hours so we thought we would look for some other things to do on a sunny June afternoon in Battle Creek. We did walk the arboretum and thought we would swing into the museum. Luckily it was 1/2 price day and we paid $2.50 each. The staff were... More

I went here as a kid and have taken my kids. Great exhibits although most are the same as when I was a kid but it takes you back and shows that not everything has to be new and electric to be fun and interesting!

I had no expectations, kids enjoyed their visit! It was small but packed with natural history information. Had some nice displays and the kids loved the scavenger hunt. The planetarium was small but I enjoyed the two shows we viewed. Made for a nice outing while we were in town visiting relatives.

Kingman is a fantastic nature museum and planetarium located in a beautiful arboretum setting. Dinosaurs, human embryos, a giant polar bear, and lots more. My kids, ages 3 & 4, were engaged the entire time and still haven't stopped talking about it. Lots of hands-on stuff. The staff spent extra time touring us around and digging animals out of the...
