Admission price is great. So many places make it too expensive to take a family but not the Schiele. It's nice to just tour around inside & out and enjoy the day. There is alot to learn about nature inside and there is a nice nature walk outside in the back - not too long but just the right length... More

The Schiele Museum is a great outing to do with children! Many varied displays indoors from prehistoric dioramas to animal habitats, entomology, Native American peoples, and even some like animal exhibits like a screech owl, skunk, baby gators, snakes, fish, and a raccoon to name a few.

This is a nature museum that covers all time periods from Jurassic to present. Very similiar to the NYC Museum of Natural Science but on a smaller scale. More
