It’s a small museum . Top floor has info about the earth & prehistoric animals. There’s a section where you can watch archeologist work. Bottom floor has info about cultures of the Pacific Ocean.

Everyday

Free with UW ID! Pretty small and has a rotating gallery upstairs on the right hand side. Downstairs is very cultural. A good 2-3 hr tour !

They have a nice cafe if you need a break. The museum itself is focused on Natural History and is more for kids, but it's fun nonetheless.

Everything is super interactive. They encourage touching and playing by default. The insect spot was a big hit and we always stop in at the butterfly pavilion which is a hit for me and the kids. - Veronica Law
