good for young children. I remember the days when this museum was at the old South Hills Mall. It cost about $2 for kids and was free for adults. Now its $7.50 for kids AND adults.I took the kids once but they haven't made too many improvements over the years to be charging so much money, esp for adults that... More

This was a great experience for my 1 year old granddaughter. We spent a little over an hour there. If you go in the spring or the summer there are areas near the river where you can picnic. More
