First off because it is connected to a college, entry is free. Our kid wants to be a paleontologist. So this was convenient and right up her ally. The displays were well thought out and beautifully done. Although small (one floor) it was very informative and the student currently studying paleontology was very informative. We learned a lot. And it is wonderful to know this school has a supported program for paleontology.

Nice collection of fossils and replicas any kid or parent would appreciate. It's smaller than we thought but it left extra time to go for a walk by the water!

My favorite local museum! They have a wonderful collection representing Charleston’s diverse paleo-history. Don’t miss their whale evolution exhibit either!

Fantastic place, free entrance and the kids loved it! The dinosaurs were fun and the whole family enjoyed the experience. Don't forget to pay a visit to the fossil exhibition!

Great free museum filled with an impressive amount of fossils. You can make it a quick visit just to look at things or make it longer and read all of the information provided. You can learn a lot here from a small space though. As an adult visiting solo I liked it, but I could see how this would be a great place to bring kids.
