I visited the Academy natural science on free museum day during welcome America. The museum was not overly crowded. The staff were super friendly. This museum has a lot of interesting animal exhibits and special exhibits. It's smaller so it's chewable for young children. There's also a children's area on the third floor with a lot of hands on things to do. He saw some of the dioramas of the animals, but spent most of our time in the special exhibit the ecology of fashion. The exhibit was very well done. Its focus was how fashion affects the environment, waste. And animals. It also showed new materials that are being used to cut back on waste. It highlighted the fast fashion trend, and how it affects sustainability. It was really interesting exhibit.

The Academy of Natural Sciences is the perfect place to visit for a couple of hours if you are tired of the Franklin Institute. We came over the weekend with two kids, aged 6 and 9. We loved the dinosaur section and I loved the taxidermy animals. My kids liked the video of how the animal displays were created but got tired of the displays after a while. The highlight was The Ecology of Fashion exhibit. Both my kids loved sewing a bag made out of old clothes and my older kid is sewing at home now, too! The kids section on the third floor is a great area with live creatures and critters. The kids got to touch a snake and were thrilled. The staff were so nice and I would definitely recommend this museum!

Great museum and interactive exhibits for the kids. Lots of Dino bones and the ice Dino exhibit was cool.

A sign near the entrance sums up the Academy. "From caring for its astounding collections to conducting important research, the Academy has helped us understand the world's ecology and biodiversity for nearly 200 years." Go. Just go. If fossils aren't your thing you'll find something else, impactful. For me it was an impressive display of life-size dioramas. A film from the 1950s illustrates the painstaking work in taxidermy and art needed to create these scenarios which accurately simulate natural habitats. Placards provide information that's important (ie reasons for near-extinction and survival) as well as interesting. Bet you didn't know that the okapi, the giraffe's only living relative, cleans its eyes with its tongue. There are replicas of dinosaurs, many of which I never heard of. I learned that in 1868, the Academy unveiled the first mounted dinosaur skeleton in the world. (Take THAT, NY's Museum of Natural History!) There are a number of hands-on activities for kids. Docents -- likely college students -- provide information at various stations throughout the building. Regardless of your age and interests, you'll likely find something to make your visit worthwhile.

Fun "Dinos in the Dark" Experience! We visited the Academy of Natural Sciences for Dinos in the Dark, and it was a great experience! My daughter loved the displays way more than expected, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The museum has three levels of exhibits, offering plenty to see and explore. As expected, it was crowded, but we were still able to navigate easily without feeling too overwhelmed. The only downside was the lack of drink options--having water or other beverages available would have been a nice touch. Overall, a fun and engaging visit! Would definitely recommend for dino lovers and curious minds alike.

I'm not sure why it took me so long to visit this museum with my kids as we live only 15 minutes away. The exhibits here are extremely informative and interesting. We loved every room and spent hours perusing. The cafe downstairs was closed so we cannot give an opinion on that. However, the vending machines were available and I was glad to find a cold drink and some tables to take a break mid-visit. I highly recommend this museum for if you're visiting town - especially if you have kiddos.

Came for game night and it was a wonderful experience! The staff were knowledgeable and engaging and had snacks for guests throughout the night.

My kid is obsessed with dinosaurs, so being the doting parent I am I figured that I'd bring him here to see them in person. He was astonished by a real life skeleton of an Icthyosaurus, which happens to be his favorite dinosaur. That's right, I'm raising a little nerd! Anyway, I digress, but this place is a must see if you have a little aspiring paleontologist in tow. The dinosaur hall is their most interesting display, but be warned a lot of the skeletons are just replicas and not real fossils. However, there is still more here to see -They have a bunch of wildlife dioramas and a bug hall, plus traveling exhibitions. Little kids will love this place. Overall not a bad place to spend an afternoon.

Academy of Natural Sciences is a decent museum. I felt that the admission prices are a bit steep, however, with costs around $30 per person. There is street parking nearby, and you can easily walk in on a weekend afternoon to tour this facility. expect to spend minimum one hour at this museum. There is a lot to see, especially the dinosaur exhibits.

Cute museum. We enjoyed the ice age exhibit and the dinosaur part. Also liked the area where you can dig for fossils. Cute overall.
