Wish I learned about this place sooner. Easy to find (we drove about 40 minutes to get there), but you'll need to turn down the street next to the museum for public parking in back (2 hours free in non-metered spaces). My 3-1/2 year old and I had a wonderful time. I was very impressed with the creative, whimsical, detailed, beautiful & artistic murals and themes throughout the museum. Family restrooms on each floor with "emergency parent boxes" containing wipes, changes of clothes, bags, etc. Spent 2-1/2 hours here and I had to drag my son out. Didn't notice a gift shop, which I don't mind...no fighting for more toys! Looking forward to visiting again with friends...wish we lived closer to celebrate a birthday party there. Adults and children $8 each, what a deal! Most enjoyed the toddler sea caves (no shoes allowed, bring socks), the fishery & the video puppet theater. Fun, fun, fun!
