    I was so eager to experience this facility on the University of Georgia campus with my…read moregrandchildren. Since the Museum has limited hours during the week only, Monday to Friday, we headed to Athens early Monday morning during the first day of their Thanksgiving week holiday. UGA is also on Holiday break and the upside of our visit, was the very limited amount of people on campus. As most people know and now I know, the UGA campus is enormous. I had never been there before and soon discovered that not even my GPS helped find this Museum. Fortunately, the campus staff and students were very helpful and we did finally find the Museum. It is an extremely small Museum, compared to the Natural History Museum in DC, it is miniscule, i.e. 30 X 40 ft. and the primary reason for my rating. It does appear that UGA is trying their best to develop this Museum, but, it does have a long, long way to go. My grandchildren did learn a few scientific terms and were interested in a few of the exhibits, which we were able to explore undaunted and uninterrupted since we were the ONLY visitors at that time. There is always a silver lining and for this adventure, it was the positive help received by UGA students and staff, and being on campus without all of the usual activity.

    It really hurts me to give a museum two stars, but honestly this is just a tiny room with a…read morecollection of taxidermy. There is also some frogs in a tank. I saw the entire collection in under 3 minutes. I wouldn't necessarily skip this if you're in the area because its an excuse to drive onto UGA campus, but just be aware of what it really is... which is not much.

    Very underwhelming, for a city known for tourism this is probably the lamest science center I've…read morebeen to. It's like 3 rooms total, all of them in basically the same space, there's probably a whole like 4 or 5 things for the kids to do that they can probably do within 30 minutes. The admission price should be like $5 for what it's worth. The lady at the front told me there was a bunch of hands on activities for babies and I'd say there was like three. The first room was a tiny room with a virtual earth, that if you touch the screen it says it will move but it doesn't work, everything else in that room is just reading/writing (made for tweens and up) and not very fun or engaging. Then there's a room full of rocks behind glass displays, not very exciting or hands on for kids (even as an adult, I felt like it was boring). There's one little section in the room where the kids can brush sand off rocks, but it was nothing special. The room with the bikes is the coolest room, but it's very small and like I said there's barely anything to do. You can look at different bikes on display, they have like 2 or 3 interactive things you can do to learn about how bikes work which take a minute to do. The there's a tiny jungle gym kind of thing that's sub-par, a water play area that's also sub-par and a sand pit where you can look for fossils which I guess would have been fun if my child was a bit older, but for little ones like mine, there wasn't much. He had a very tiny section in the corner he could play with and then he got bored. I guess I'm a bit spoiled because we live in the Triad and we have 3 of the best children's museums. It's guess it's a good thing to do to kill time if you literally have nothing else to do with your kids in Asheville but if I knew what it would be like I probably wouldn't do it again.

    Tiny but mighty! There are a few rooms here with interactive exhibits for kids. My 4 and 5 year…read moreolds could have spent a lot of time here even though at times it felt a little tight. There's a small climbing structure that my kids kept coming back to, which was a favorite. A lot of the exhibits focused on the earth. I think it was sort of lost on my kids, but the exhibits were fun to interact with. You can't really avoid the shop.
