Reviews
"The Museum of Geology was very interesting. We learned some history of animals that once lived in our area and about rocks and minerals. Lots of cool specimens. Great for kids and adults."
"I recently visited the Museum of Geology and was impressed by its diverse collection, especially the crystals, stones, and the captivating skeleton of a wooly mammoth. The overall experience was enjoyable, but it would be more welcoming for foreigners if there were more English translations in the literature. Nonetheless, a great place for geology enthusiasts!"
"Nice place to spend an afternoon if you like minerals, fossils and ancient history. Parking can be an issue as lots of construction going on here, but we had no problem."
"Wow, very fun! Their selection of dead things was nice. Some popular guys, but also odd balls you rarely see in museums like super early canines. The rock section was the best. Lots of extremely well curated and informative displays. Lots of cabinets with different rocks of the same group like halides and some paragraphs for laymen to understand. And lots of puns, as a warning."
"We had a great time here. It's a small museum, but free to get in and has a ton of neat rocks and fossils. My son really enjoyed getting to look at all of it. The fluorescent rock exhibit was beautiful and vivid. After stopping at a few places today, this was the one my son talked about the most! I think we spent about an hour here. There was construction across the street, but they had good signs for pointing towards parking. We also liked the gift shop and my son was impressed with all the posters they had ( lots of neat dinosaur and fossil ones)."
