What visitors say
Really cool campus museum. The main center room was closed but there were still many displays outside that were so interesting as far as aninal biology, anatomy, sea creatures, and tacidermy. The bobcat taxidermy sure looks funny though.
Fabulous free museum featuring taxidermy of all types of animals. There are activities for kids like scavenger hunts, puzzles, and coloring activities. You can sign up for an entry time online. I think this is done to make sure there is…
Very nice "old school" museum, interesing history of the place. Worth the visit. You can make the reservation online.
