"Great Exhibits and Family Fun!"

Reviewed September 04, 2024

I have visited this Museum many times years ago but either with pops, on my own or with friends, so now that I have a small family, it was nice to see the kids reaction especially because it was their first time here at this Museum, it was a tad annoying as the main entrance was fenced (maybe for renovation, addition or whatevs) being a fan of Architecture, I really wanted them to see the front entrance of the building in its full grandeur, those enormous steps leading to the main entrance but it didn't happen, wonk-wonk. Anyway... ...The kids loved the dinosaur exhibit and surprised to hear them talking about the history of LA and how much interest they have on it, the birds exhibition was really awesome too and of course they loved the gift shop lol I LOVE the character and architecture of this museum, I also like their seasonal featured exhibits, the old artifacts, the potteries and statues but always somehow at the back of my head, it reminds me of an Indiana Jones movie where some of these old relics can either curse you or bring some bad jujus ha ha so I breeze by those exhibits when I can. I am thankful we have a Natural History Museum in our City/County, this always is a great place for additional Education and bring awareness especially to young minds not just some history of our existence but also interesting bit regarding our community.
