The place is history itself! Intended mansion for tragic hero Grocery Magnate Clarence Saunders is home to a unique museum! Add to that the IMAX, planetarium and a reasonable gift shop (gotta have one!) and the combination is a winner. Exhibits include favorite oldies from many moons ago, to newer items and themed exhibits. You can go several times and... More

There was very little to actually see in this museum! There's a display of a shrunken head that was interesting and a replica of a piggly wiggly and a pharmacy, but overall, this was a big waste of time and money.

Took out of town visitors who had read about it on line and they were not disappointed. Lots of history and science. One of my favorite things is a scale model of a circus. Replica of the original Piggly Wiggly grocery store is fascinating to see what was on the shelves in 1918. The founder of that store is who... More

What a great place to take your kids and adults will enjoy as well. The IMAX theatre is awesome. You can walk and see tons of great exhibits of nature and history, have a snack and then stargaze in the planetarium. If you are local a membership for the year is a great deal and you get exclusive previews of... More

We went on a rainy day primarily to see the Native American Basket exhibition which was a good overview but needed a bit more information. The IMAX movie on Ice Age animals was very good. It had enough facts for the parents and roaring animal recreations for the kids in the audience. We went through the rest of the museum... More

I went there many years ago when I was in Jr. High, and it was great to go back with my wife and children now. You can see everything in one day, but it will be a loooong day! We had a blast!

If you like history then this is a must see. From the dinosaur age to the civil war era. It was nice walking around at your own leisure and if you feel like a snack the cafe located inside is nice as well.

To be fair, this is more of a "grouping" of museums and attractions. I understand the naming of the "Pink Palace" due to history, but this campus has a natural history and science museum, an IMAX, and a planetarium. We had a great time going through the geology and science exhibits. I loved the Native American artifacts, although there weren't... More

We were amazed by the quality and quantity of the exhibition at the museum part. It is not a museum with a lot of original collection, but the design is simply super. It cleverly uses replicates to demonstrate natural history, with the real stuffs from local finds. I myself loved the medical and social history upstairs. I learned so much... More
