This is the main museum among the five. The ticket counter and guest service desks are in this music. This museum is mainly about, evolution, dinosaurs, civilization, space, earth, and science. I loved the space section most. There was a robotic arm to play with to simulate the canadarm in ISS. There's also simulate of the earth view window from ISS. Also loved the collection of human civilization, how humans spread all over the world starting from Africa. There's also a big gift shop. Overall this museum is really great for both kids and adults.

One admission to the Springfield Museums gives accesses to five museums of art, history, science, and Dr. Seuss amazing world. Adults: $25 Seniors (60+): $16.50 College Students: $16.50 Youth 3-17: $13 Children Under 3: Free (I think it's free for Springfield Residents.) Great collections of arts and science. The statues in the garden are mostly from Dr. Seuss. Quite nice to walk around and absorb all the information. I wish I can spend 2 days in here to go through everything in detail.

Nice set of museums that are all included in one price. I had two kids - 12 and 6 with me when we visited for the day. We went to the science, history and the suess museum. Science museum - some of the displays were pretty dated and worn but the kids still had a good time. (Keep in mind that this opinion is based on our experiences visiting some of the largest and best science museums in the country.) There is currently a special pbs kids exhibit there that caters to preschool age group with lots of imaginative play. There is hands on experiences throughout the museum, some areas much more than others. History museum - the Hasbro area kept my kids attention the longest of any of the museums. They played pinball, learned about historical games and had lots of things to touch, manipulate, etc. there is a cute play area in the Hasbro area for toddlers and preschoolers with a play kitchen, pretend picnic area, etc. The rest of the history museum is best for older kids and adults. I really enjoyed the small, but well done, area about the civil war and its connections to the Springfield area. Suess museum - bottom floor has lots of opportunities for kids to touch, play and take photos with some of their favorite suess characters. Upstairs is more of a typical museum setup where drawings and other things are available for viewing. During our visit the cafeteria was closed but there were a couple of food trucks available next to the museums. If you are currently a member of a museum 90+ miles away check and see if there is reciprocity to save yourself some money on admission.

You guys know what BOGO means, right? You go to the supermarket, pay for one can of peas and you walk away like a Boss with two cans of peas? Buy One Get One? Well how about paying for one museum admission and getting admission to five museums? Let's call that BOGF -But One Get Four. And for good measure, let's throw in a spectacular Memorial Sculpture Garden filled with your childhood friends from the pages of Dr. Seuss books. Welcome to the Springfield Museums Complex, where the Smith Art Museum, Springfield Science Museum, Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Springfield History, Dr. Seuss Museum, and the Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden await you. They are all located around an open green space (reminded me of my college's quadrangle). The complex is super easy to navigate as everything (including free parking) is kind of right next to each other. Admissions to the whole shebang are $25 for Adults, $16.50 for Seniors, $13.50 for kids (3-17), and zippo if  you're a Springfield resident or a customer of a certain big New England bank. Just show your credit or debit card and you are good to go. We loved the Seuss and Science Museums, and really had a blast at the Springfield Museum with its huge exhibit of their hometown Indian motorcycles, a terrific exhibit on the early auto industry, and exhibits on Springfield based major companies like Friendly Ice Cream and the Big Y Supermarket chain. We'll go back again and check out both art museums.

There are six separate spaces to see as part of the Springfield Museums. The Sculpture Garden in the center https://www.yelp.com/biz/dr-seuss-national-memorial-sculpture-garden-springfield?hrid=9SkHNFRcxA_sbKrPGpYTtA is surrounded by the Springfield Science Museum https://www.yelp.com/biz/springfield-science-museum-springfield, the George Walter Vincent Smith Art Museum https://www.yelp.com/biz/george-walter-vincent-smith-art-museum-springfield, the Michele & Donald D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts https://www.yelp.com/biz/michele-and-donald-d-amour-museum-of-fine-arts-springfield?hrid=r9AHmDf10RVTvf5AiABXkQ, the Lyman & Merrie Wood Museum of Springfield History https://www.yelp.com/biz/lyman-and-merrie-wood-museum-of-springfield-history-springfield and this, The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum. All are accessible with the wrist band you'll purchase for admission at the Welcome Center. Find out all about Ted Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss, The Seuss museum is hard to miss as the front has a bright blue arch. Once inside, the two floors (stairs or elevator) take you through a timeline of Dr. Seuss's life in English and Spanish. Whoville, Readingville, Oh the Places You'll Go and Fairfield Street. Notes and sketches, cards and letters to family and quite a few small sculptures that appear to be touchable. The captions are in two langugages and there is even a small explanation of "Dr. Seuss in Historical Context" that tries to address the recent controversy and "It's not how you start that counts. It's what you are at the finish." I'm not a massive Seuss fan but I can definitely see the appeal. This museum is definitely for the kids (and for adults) who will enjoy it immensely. As it was part of the admission for the full site, I checked it out but I wouldn't have done this if it was solo. [Review 15201 overall, 703 of 2021, number 1064 in Massachusetts.]

Wow! 5 museums for one admission price is pretty cool. They're so close to each other and there's a reasonably priced cafe too! Yesterday, we had a toddler with us so we started at the Science Museum for the temporary Wild Kratts exhibit and then Dr. Seuss, with history as the last stop. Perfect amount before our daughter needed a nap and we all had so much fun. Well worth the 2 hour one way drive for us to get out to Springfield.

We visited the Springfield Art Museum and we just love it! The types of art that is available to view in astounding and my family really enjoyed the space and amazing staff members here who provide in-depth knowledge about the artwork while providing amazing and kind support while we attempt to introduce our 6 yo to the world of art appreciation. We highly recommend coming here if you in the area- the aura inside is very captivating.

What a lovely group of museums and such a meaningful creation of art. The layout is almost a campus with a quadrangle in the middle full of sculptures of Dr. Seuss art. This set up allows people of all ages and interests to enjoy everything. The place has so much to offer with beautiful time and space in between to have a contemplative walk. This is a shining example of commitment to the arts in this city. Definitely worth visiting for a good chunk of your day.

Fun experience at the Grinch grotto, Dr. Seuss museum, and Smith art collection. 5 museums, Staff is unusually friendly and cheerful for a museum. Great setting around the Dr. Seuss National Memorial garden and statues.

While touring Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine and New Hampshire - we made an overnight stop in Springfield, MA. "Oh, the places you'll go"... Aside from the Basketball Hall of Fame Museum, I couldn't think of any other places to visit in Springfield. I did my research and found the Dr. Seuss Memorial was there. It makes sense since Dr. Seuss was born in Springfield. Known as the Quadrangle, this is a cluster of museums, a garden and a library. It was raining when we went but that didn't stop us. I really enjoyed the installations and sculptures. It's a nice place to expose kids to art and take lots of pictures.

Several buildings with their own themes. The ladies selling admission were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the museum setup. They recognized it was our first time there and gave us tips. We only went to 3 museums, the art museum with the sculptures was our fav as well as the Japanese history room. Each building had several wings with different eras in it. The employees in the other buildings could have been nicer. The price seemed very expensive for most of the artwork being copied from originals.

Fun grouping of museums. I went there recently on free museum day and enjoyed what I saw. Not sure if regular price for viewing would have been worth it. Kids seemed to enjoy Dr Seuss museum. They had some nice artwork that was very interesting. Had an area dedicated to some of the children artwork made into 3-D figures. Science museum decent. Staff pleasant.
