"My son found this place and we took my granddaughters, my little one has been fascinated with dinosaurs 🦖🦕 since a baby so we all went on an exploration and this place fit the bill...plz make sure to bring your driver's license 🪪 or 🆔 kiddos had fun, reading and learning about the fossils and dig sites....some interactive stuff down stairs, girls are able to play & touch some displays.🦕🦖"

"I brought my kids here to learn more about paleontology, and this museum was perfect for that! It’s located on a school campus, so parking requires a quick driver’s license scan by security, which I assume is for school safety. I purchased our entry tickets online, which was both inexpensive and convenient. The museum itself is small, with two floors, but it has an impressive fossil collection and fascinating exhibits. It took us about two hours to explore and read everything we were interested in. We had a wonderful experience and had no issues at all, unlike some of the negative reviews I’ve seen. Overall, it’s a charming little museum with a lot to offer!"

"A truelly amazing archeology museum with large dinosaur skeletons, foot prints, explanatory plaques, etc. They do a great job explaining how life started and changed through Earth's history"

"Wow! Who knew this local Claremont museum held So many fossils, I mean life size dinosaur fossils. I’m so impressed with all they have inside these walls. Some of these fossils were discovered and displayed by student. You can observe current students handling and working on fossils. There are hands on exhibits and story time for children and adults to experience. Divided into sections the museum is covering 4.6 billion years up until present day. Take your time and read the descriptions as you pass from one prehistoric period to another, follow the time line on the wall. This museum has a handicap ramp entrance as well as alternative entrance to lower level without using the staircase, it does have lots of stairs. Met friends here and we all enjoyed it very much. Walked away saying our children/grandchildren would love this place. If you like dinosaurs you’ll love it. It’s located on a private boarding high school campus and you need to present valid id to be scanned for security to park and enter. George at the gate was very friendly and shared how his wife and grandchildren loved the museum. Plan to spend around an hour. Admission is between $9 to $12 per person children free"

"Small museum, worth a couple hours of exploring. Dinosaur lovers will enjoy it. When you come into the parking, the attendant is going to ask for ID and give you a visitor pass."
