Best time
Arrive early and plan to leave by 2:30pm since last admission is 3pm. This timing allows you to experience the main exhibits without feeling rushed, especially if you want to explore the Discovery Room's interactive rocket capsule experience.
Visitor tip
Don't miss the Johnnie Johnson Nature Trails behind the museum—a 22-acre preserve with three different ecosystems. Many visitors focus only on indoor exhibits and skip this outdoor extension, which provides hands-on nature exploration to complement the fossils and artifacts inside.
