Great Valley Museum and Planetarium

Great little museums and affordable gift shop--bought more than i thought i would. My favorites was the chemistry interactive exhibit and the archeology exhibit about S. Africa. Lots of dioramas about nature. Great campus as well. Will return to see the planetarium which is currently only open 2 Saturdays a month.

Great little museum not known by many people. Took some out of town family for a little day trip & we all ended up learning a few things about our region & the critters within it. Very affordable & if you take your time & look @ everything you could very well spend a couple hours entertaining little ones. Don't forget to check out the gift shop on the way out.....you may find a little project to continue your learning!

We basically had the whole place to ourselves, as it was a weekday and the museum most likely is less busy due to covid. It was very nice, and there was a lot to see and read. All the taxidermy there is very good quality, and the scenes that the taxidermy are placed into are all very realistic (down to fake animal droppings haha). You can tell that a lot of time went into creating the scenes and into research for the information. It was very enjoyable. I loved the gift shop as well, lots of very interesting and cool items. we got crystal bracelets, soap, and a little plastic frog. I would definitely go again, especially since they show different exhibits and do different things like that sometimes. Go pirates! :)

My family and I went to the Dinosaur exhibit this evening, the kids had a lot of fun, they had face painting and kind of like a scavenger hunt, raffle and we got to see a lot of the animal exhibits as well. We plan on going back sometime to go to the planetarium. Had a lot of fun.

Nice museum for young kids full of local animals displayed in natural habitats. The gift shop has cool, well priced science activities for kids. The entire museum can be enjoyed in 30-45 minutes but introduces kids to science nature very well. Support our local museum.
