Anytime of year, this is a great museum to hit! Parking is reasonable (up near the space-center entrance). We love the Christmas Trees at Christmastime, and the little ones love the baby chicks! The play factory is fun, too. This is a great place for an outing!

We had a free pass, and I'm so glad we did! Parking was around $9. The zoo was nice, but we must have gone during an "off" time because many of the animals were not out. We went early in the day (around 10am). The food selections were not anything to write home about, so definitely pack a lunch to avoid paying out the wazoo for substandard food.
