We love the experience but just check the website for when they have exhibits. Half of it was closed when we went but my son wanted to go anyway, so we just used our Groupon anyway

Beautiful setting. Ned Davis’s paintings were absolutely enthralling. Loved seeing all of RTP drawings. Check out the prehistoric Hellbenders in the foyer!
