The galleries and store are nice. The concerts are our favorite there. The acoustics and lighting are great, but our favorite thing about this venue is the seating. The rows are far enough apart if you feel the need to shake a little more than your head....you can!

We were floored by the amazing mechanical instruments at this museum. Many types of player pianos, jukeboxes, Nickelodeons, a Wurlitzer theatre organ and an amazing 18 ft tall x 30 ft wide hand carved Mortier Dance organ. Definitely participate in the guided tour, where many of the instruments are demonstrated. You will be amazed at the beautiful music created by these automated instruments. I was floored to hear such intricate music played from holes punched in a roll of paper!

This museum is incredible! I lived up north for 20 years and never went but after I moved and went back up north for a visit we all decided to go museum hopping!! Let me tell you!!!! This place is incredible. My daughter is a beautiful city girl but wow the impact of this great museum was exciting. The scenes that are set puts you right with the animals in their own environments with a slice of fun as the post questions, “find the ....”, so it becomes a fun competition too. Great fun and the gift store has many rustic items to choose from!!! Love it!! It is a must stop! Of course I purchased the toddler pink mocisins for my adorable grandbaby!!
