What a wonderful gem of a museum/planetarium. Amazing exhibits, well cared for, very nice staff, and not too crowded. I can’t believe how cheap it was. For parking and tickets to the museum and planetarium for both of us was less than $10. I just wish they had a gift shop or something, I’d like to find out about donating because it was worth well more than what we paid.
