Bess Bower Dunn Museum of Lake County

"Great little museum. Perfect for my kids who are younger than 5. They had a dinosaur exhibit when we visited which was really neat. Price was right too! Good little outing for a few hours."

"Very impressive collection of fossils from our area, and nice historical exhibits. Great for kids of all ages, including our 5 and 7 year olds - a number of hands-on specimens. Can cover all the exhibits in about 90 minutes. Is an especially great family outing for a rainy/cold day."

"We got free passes from our local library and decided to go. We've never been to this one since it moved. The museum seemed smaller than before. There was only 2 other couples there when we arrived and one family that quickly walked through. Staff was very nice and friendly."

"We went on a special event day that included free admission. Last time I was here was opening day. Didn't see much change since my last visit other than an art exhibit that was going on. I used to go more frequently when it was in Wauconda. I preferred it at that location, and although it is in a very much larger building, I think I spent more time looking at things than in this new location. I would like to see more vintage photos and exhibits. It is a good to visit, if you haven't already. I see they have special events for families which is a good thing."

"Great place for a short family day out and interested to know about the history of lake county. Visiting whole place should not take more than 30 min - 1 hour. There is a big replica of dinosaur, the drawing of Batman and many other superheroes. I went with my son, he enjoyed quite. I plan to go visit again with more time to go through the detailed of history of lake county. Parking is free, and there is lot of parking space. However, there is no cafe, but there is lunch area if you are bringing food from home. There is some vending machine though."
