I was impressed with the diplays and fish tanks HOWEVER....I was very disheartened by the live bear and beaver exhibits. Both bears were clearly under stress and just pacing back and forth while staring straight forward. The beavers were also clearly upset. They were put out on display and all the did was fevorously scratch on the guillotine doors to get back indoors. �
Beautiful, but difficult for a person with sensory sensitivities. There are several places where the lighting is difficult to maneuver stairs.
The aquarium side was absolutely wonderful. The Wildlife Museum was not. The entire place both sides were lacking information on what your looking at. All the live animals are on this side. They had a tablet here and there that had very limited information and a plackerd here and there. The Wildlife Museum appears to be nothing more than the largest collection of trophy animals ever killed and assembled in one place with almost no information on why these animals need saved and why we need to be good a steward to wildlife. ... read more
Love this place !! We’ve gone a lot and have season passes . One thing that annoys me , is they make you stand in line to take a picture even if you don’t want one! Which is really obnoxious! Other than that I’d give it 5 stars
Kind of expensive. We bought the s Aaron pass so we can recoup the expenses a little. Food is way over priced. Museum is awesome aquarium is awesome. But for big families it could be hard to finance it.
Shame on you wonders of wildlife after Springfield voted you the best attraction you now charge people $10 for parking??!Give me a break talk about greed
Awesome place. BUT....Bought season passes only to find out we can’t use them on my son’s field trip. I know several people are very disappointed in this “rule”. So we’ve already paid for the passes but now they want $37 more so that we can go as part of the group. Doesn’t make sense.
I have been to a lot of museums and this is the most convoluted one I’ve ever seen. It’s massive (5 hours for both museums) but it is so poorly organized. Pathways and entrances are not marked (very dark in much of it) and since we had an electric scooter some of the tiny elevators could barely accommodate it. It has some wonderful exhibits, however.
You have to walk threw too much of the museum just to get to the live animals. It is a set path to go on, you can't just wonder arround.
