Great for young & old!! We spent 4 hours there yesterday & I could've gone back today. We visited both the museum & aquarium. I think what impressed me most was the painting of the Lewis & Clark adventure. The painter had to read their writing, visualize, then paint! The painting are AMAZING! We will go back!!!

Really well thought out design, with plenty of restrooms and sitting areas throughout. Lots of things to keep the kids busy for a variety of ages. Great exhibits and nice atmosphere. We will be back!

We went with friends from the area, as we are from KC, MO. We had our littles in tow with us, and we all had a great time! There was so much to see! We loved the alligators, sharks, and bear in particular. The staff was very personable and the displays were incredible. It was a bit of a maze to navigate through at times, but it was well worth it. Very cool place to check out if you’re in the area!!

My boyfriend and I drove about 12 hours to specifically come see this, and we were not disappointed in the least. It was spectacular in every way.

It took us about 8 hours to do the whole combo tickets plus bass pro shop and an amazing lunch/dinner at hemmingways. Durring our visit we accidentally lost 1 of our tickets and I was really upset I wanted to keep them for scrapbooking and I asked the ticket counter and without ... read more

We went yesterday for the first time and loved it; however, we are now learning we missed the penguins and an entire section with other non live animals, etc. We followed the crowd and signs and ended up at the gift shop so figured that was the end and left. I've seen others mention maps...that would have been very helpful since we drove 3 hours to do this and bought the combo tickets. Would like to visit again someday to see what we missed. It's not cheap, but worth the experience.

Went there yesterday and the 40$ sticker shock went away really fast. We’re there about 2 hours and it was the best experience ever and would go back in a heartbeat. I’ve told family and friends about our adventure and now there thinking of going also. If I would change anything, maybe prices on popcorn and things like that and would love to of had the photo but that was a bit to high but loved the whole thing otherwise.
