The Natural History Museum at KU was listed as a must-stop for families. So, on our adventure October 30, we stopped. We were not disappointed. Well, our daughter was a bit disappointed because the live snake exhibit was closed for renovation.
The museum itself is separated into 3 floor (will be 4 when renovation is complete.) Each floor is a very different experience.
We began our adventure in Bugtown--where kids can be bugs, pretend to order at the diner, and watch three bugs commenting on Sci-Fi Bug Movies in the style of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Our son could have stayed there all day if we let him.

The main floor housed the all important gift shop as well as panorama of wildlife. We had just been to Cabaella's and their North American wildlife display was even more awesome in our opinion. If you are looking for North American wildlife, that is the place to go.
The top floor we could access had an exhibit about Exploring Evolution. We looked at all the exhibits and tried out all the hands on stuff. Eric had a great time imitating chimpanzee recordings. :) It was a unique experience to get to explore with our children and talk about the differences between scientific fact and theory. It was a great springboard for talking about Creation and how amazing the world is that God has created.
