"Super cool place to visit. This place is free and run by volunteers so please donate if you can when you visit. We had a great time, the staff were very nice."
"Stopped by here with some minerals buddies and we enjoyed it quite a bit. Lots of good geology information and even some oldies but goodies like the minerals in your life display that had asbestos in your walls."
"Wonderful homeschool field trip! So many hands-on learning opportunities! A little bit of everything - earthquakes, prehistoric geography, fossils, gems & minerals, rock cycles, rock formation and mining history. The volunteers were great about answering our questions and sharing their knowledge with us. Looking forward to getting together a group of homeschoolers next year and doing the guided tour! Free admission. Limited hours/days of operations, so checking their website before you go would be a good idea. Highly recommend!"
"Loved this place! So many amazing artifacts and rocks. This is a kids dream come true. It is also an adults dream come true if you love to Rockhound and or prospect. Well worth every moment. If you really this type of stuff I highly recommend an annual membership as it allows you to take any or all of the guides field trips they organize at no extra cost. Otherwise there is a small fee for the trips. The staff and volunteers who work there are all personable and know their stuff."
"What a "Gem" of a museum! Very good interactive displays. Very knowledgeable staff. If you are interested in Idaho beauty and history, local geology, and our rich history of mining, meteorites, and a member built seismometer, this place is a must see!"
